First off, I have had this from Netflix since November. November. I just couldn’t get in the mood to watch it. I’m not a huge Katherine Heigel fan anyway. I mean, I don’t hate her but she tends to play characters I find shrill and unrelatable.
Her character in this was no exception. She’s shrill, controlling, annoying, pushy, bitchy, and pretty much a basket-case. We’re told she’s smart but every chance she negates that by acting like a buffoon, usually having to do with her “hot” next door neighbor, who she thinks is the perfect man.
Enter Mike, a chauvinist who is being added to her morning show (I don’t even remember the character’s name! Maybe I should just call her Izzie. Or Izzy. Either one because other than 1 being an alien and the other a murdering doctor who can’t follow protocol, they’re the same and they’re THIS woman! So is her character from “Knocked Up” actually.) Anyway, he’s a pig but he’s pretty good looking and since this movie is 1 huge cliche, of course he has a sweet heart under the rough exterior. And of course, he falls for her while helping her land the next door neighbor. And after several mix-ups and misunderstandings, they end up together. Because this movie is 1 sloppy cliche.
I should have just sent it back.
