Loved this movie....but


While I loved this movie, couple things bothered me. For one, it bothered me that he couldn't accept Libby for what she was. If she chose to just do several things and not settle for one thing, so what? He berated her and tried to really put her down. Also, even though at the end his snooty friends seemed to want to accept her when they realized he loved her (I loved the scene where the other guy apologized to her for his part in the breakup and the other girl's telling him "don't let her get away")I don't think her blue-color pals would want him around. I think he would still be uncomfortable with them, too. Also, I think his job would always come first. I know he gave up a good transfer, but I don't think he'd put her first over his career in the long run.

Don't forget that Libby lightened him up and got him out of his straight-jacket life! While his ultra organized life helped set her along a better route!

Also, he finally realized that work alone makes for a usually dull and unsatisfying life.

This was pretty much "Dharma and Greg" with less humour: If they liked each other with all of their 'faults', then there would have been no movie... Other than that I get why he would want her to settle down; if you love someone, you don't want them to up and leave.

As it is the 'end couple' of a party planner and a corporate lawyer works: She'll have to work weekends and evenings, and he has to work all day, overtime and go away for weekends and so on: they will never see each other, but it won't be anyones fault ;-)
