THE WORST MAJOR STUDIO RELEASE OF 2010?

I know "The Tourist" was bad, but "How Do You Know" made it look like a classic. Uninteresting characters, awkward pacing, unrealistic dialogue, flaccid direction. Never does the movie give the audience a chance to give a crap about what is going on. Seriously, if they had just sat the 4 main actors around a dinner table and filmed a conversation, it would've been way more entertaining. When James L. Brooks hits, he's on fire (Terms of Endearment, As Good As It Gets). When he misses, it's just horrible (I'll Do Anything, this movie). Any thoughts from the peanut gallery?

What can I say? This peanut kind of liked it. I guess we're on different pages. For starters, I hate As Good as It Gets. How Do You Know felt a little like Broadcast News to me. Only in this version Albert Brooks gets Holly Hunter in the end.
