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.
