::::::::NOTES::::::::

From the cover this looks like a chick-flick so I sat down to watch it with my wife. She lost interest in the first thirty minutes and we turned it off. I could not leave a film unfinished so went back and watched the rest on my own. It got better towards the end as mentioned above. I would not recommend this film.
