    Solid on all levels - storyline, dialogue, visuals, and definitely performances. This movie has layers if you look for them. "Two thumbs up."

    Simultaneously contrived and genuinely felt.
  2. Affleck and Paltrow, who've been excellent elsewhere, display less chemistry than they've shown in magazine photo shoots. Even Woody and Bo Peep had more going on between them in "Toy Story" than these two manage here.
  3. Surprisingly tepid and soapy.
