It's a good romantic Comedy -- smarter than most and it also shows there is a bit more to Roberts than the usual. She may not be the best actress but she certainly far from the worst -- she is more popular than her ability perhpas but so what -- I give her and singers like Madonna credit for knowing exactly what people want from them and then giving the customer what they want and what they expect.As for Bush -- I suspect a film like Fahrenheit 9/11 did more for the Bush camp than the Kerry camp. Because Moore plays fast and loose with some facts then people view EVERYTHING he puts in his film as a total outright lie or slander. Oliver Stone had the same problem because people would pick out and "correct" 9 small issues which were incorrect and toss the whoel film into a conspiracy film rhetoric -- never mind the 3 key issues which have been corronborated at the highest levels of the CIA. (No one harps on those because those are untouchable truths).
Canadian journalists have stone cold provable corroboration that no American will watch unless they have a dish and were paying attention and I'm sorry to say Moore missed out on some goodies here and Kerry blew it completely when the opportunity arose to obliterate Bush in one of the electoral debates -- issue was about the drug industry(relation to Canada and drug costs) and Bush outright LIED. Crooked as a dog's hind leg.
Of course the problem is did Kerry not know to attack or would he do the exact same thing as Bush? -- Ahh -- people forget that Michael Moore also never liked Clinton either.
Bush is a Texas uneducated sleazy hothead who is the ultimate religious reactionist -- and sorry we need people who use intellectual Reason to lead the world --- not fannatics who shoot first and think later. kerry may be a lot of things that can be viewed as worse but it would be nice if the president and therefore leader of the free world could formulate at least a quasi-half decent sentence all by himself.
Follow Ups:
I fully agree with your first statement.
Fahrenheit was a very bad film, if a film at all. If only Mr. Moore would have been good at it! There is nothing better than consrtuctive critics. And fine irony is a pleasure for me, so it is a lost occasion.
This " opus " will be lost in time, and I think it is already.
Kerry had this arrogant and wanting to be right for everyone way, that make me run. he sold himself very badly. He could have make it with more instinct.
In fact I think that he was the sole cause for the Democratic Party to loose.
But who talk of yesterday snow?
Historians.
All politicians are lying...More or less. If you donīt like it avoid politics...As I do...He-he...
And yet, some one has to vote....And choose between two bad.
As in France at the moment...
I do think that mr. Bush is not so inept as you present him.
For some of his weakness he made some other things better...But a long story without end... Every one should follow his instincts and do what it is right for himself to do.
Beside the far right I respect every each and one view, so long there are mutual respect...
