The critics bashed it and the friend I went to see it with when it came out hated it, but I just loved it! Even bought the DVD the day it came out (which I rarely do.)
So happy to see Sarah Paulson in Studio 60, as I loved her in this, although I admit it took me a bit to recognize her with blonde hair! LOL.
You aren't the only one. It's a bit of a guilty pleasure movie for me.

Never seen a Doris/Rock/ 60s romcom... but I LOOOOOVE this movie!
Call me a sucker for campy kitsch, period pieces, McGregor, and ironic twists. oh, and happy endings are good too.

I absolutely LOVE this film and I'm greatly pleased so many other people love it too! I have to say my favorite scene to this day is the split-screen telephone conversation between Zellweger and McGregor. It's cheesy in a cute and clever way.

The internet is my only escape to reality in Arcata.
Nope. I like this film. I've always thought it was underrated.
Clark's destiny = Superman, Lex Luthor & Lois Lane.
I just finished watching this movie. I thought it was freakin' BRILLIANT. I can't remember the last time I've witnessed such spot-on direction. And the script was SO good...equal to the great movie scripts of the Cary Grant/Katharine Hepburn era. So I was beyond shocked to see it only has a 6.2 rating here at imdb.com. I thought it was going to be close to 8 (which is next to impossible to achieve). And I see at Wikipedia that budget was 78 million (huh??) and the international box office was only 35 million. I assumed it was a smash while watching it, so to find out it was a box office flop is heartbreaking!!
