Did you feel that...

none of the characters were likable? I did. It was hard for me to care much about the film because I just didn't care for the characters. They were nothing but wit and sarcasm. It was hard to get the warm fuzzies whenever they were together. I guess the characters were a bit more real than characters are in most romantic comedies, yeah, but... I don't want to pay to see this stuff. I can go watch my friends' boring dates and get the same effect that this movie gave me.

I didn't really have high hopes, though. The preview didn't look all that good. I like Drew Barrymore, though, so I gave it a chance and ultimately was just disappointed.

I agree so much. Drew's character is so abrasive and Justin's is so ridiculously whiny and not flexible. The best one was Charlie.

I wish all the characters in this film were in that plane from "almost famous" but the plane actually went down.

If this is a realistic portrayal of American single culture....God help ya's all.

I didn't find any of the characters to be likable. I also didn't detect much wit, just nastiness presented as wit.
