Great romantic movie
I don't understand the haters. Absolutely a must see with wife or girlfriend. And of you like Italy, that's a bonus star. Great plot with surprises and solid work by all the actors. I gave it 10 stars, and I really think it's deserved. I don't understand the haters. Absolutely a must see with wife or girlfriend. And of you like Italy, that's a bonus star.

I really really wanted to like it....
I'm a big fan of romantic comedies, and I'm quite easy to please when it comes to them, as I can tolerate a bit of cheese and wooden acting if the overall story is good. Overall this film had a lot of issues that I could force myself to over look, but the one thing I couldn't was the lack of character & story development, which made it hard to watch, so much so I nearly turned it off a couple times.
The way they act/treat each other in the beginning feels like there should of been some sort of familiarity or foundation between them, something you don't get with two strangers which is what they are meant to be. For instance the animosity and point scoring between the leads in similar films, such as "Just married" or "what happens in vegas" works because the characters have familiarity, they like each other first or have something that connects the two of them before the battles start. But with these two in this film there was none of that, there was nothing to warrant them doing those things to a complete stranger and sticking around while a stranger did those things to them. Nor did it make sense why the battles even started when they had both nicely and respectfully made an agreement to share the apartment. Lastly rom-coms often have the leads suddenly fall in love way to quickly, but with this film it was ridiculous... they literally take a break from torturing each other to have a glass of wine, and suddenly they like, respect and love each other.
