... James McAvoy, is blessed with sexy and adorable lead actors, who radiate energy and charm despite Dana Fox's poor script and its forgettable dialogue.The opposites of goofy Ashton Kutcher and sophisticated Cameron Diaz do indeed attract, and there's guilty pleasure in watching these two actors spar, physically and verbally, including a centrepiece chase through the crowded streets of Manhattan.They...

... a nice supporting cast, including, as the wacky best friends, Lake Bell and Rob Corddry. And while Dana Fox’s screenplay has its holes, she also takes pains to add the neat twist of having the female as the type A achiever, driven by the potential of a big promotion on Wall Street.

No, the only reason this entire project doesn't supernova and start sucking the life out of the universe like a cinematic black hole is the...

... of dreaming up an interesting way for these two to meet, the blazingly awful script by Dana Fox simply puts Jack (Kutcher) and Joy (Diaz) in adjoining hotel rooms in which they and their best friends (Rob Corddry for him, Lake Bell for her) wind up walking into the same bathroom. Cue much girly screaming and hitting.Everyone gets drunk but Jack and Joy wake up married. They decide this is...
