This is not art nor anything else that deserves harsh criticism. It is a "feel good" movie with slightly more depth and character than others in its class. Every character is basically good and there will be no soul searching philosophical moments. Drew Barrymore is perfectly suited for this kind of movie and in what some would call her absence of sense, I call her good sense in choosing roles that aren't beyond her. Most guys wouldn't like this movie or at least they wouldn't admit it. I appreciate a movie that attempts nothing more than it promises.
