Summary: Cute Girl Stuff
Review: Well, let me say that I might be a tiny bit biased in this review simply because Chris O'Donnell is just so cute.... but enough of my gushing! This is an adoreable film. Chris O'Donnell and Renee Zelwegger have great chemistry as a scared, emotionally unavailable bachelor and his spunky, tough, but loving girlfriend, respectively. They are believeable as a couple, which is essential to a good romance. The story is predictable, but none the less, enjoyable and funny. Brooke Shields is hysterical as one of O'Donnell's ex-girfriends who ponders marriage for the chance of inheriting a fortune. The film gives an adequate portrayl of the male mind, and how most men feel in regards to marriage. Overall, it is worth viewing and I highly recommend it to brides to be who are looking for films to watch with the girls at a sleepover or bachelorette party!

Summary: Great romantic entertainment
Review: A very funny movie, and I think unfairly maligned by critics. Take it for what it is--a light-hearted, ridiculous but incessantly entertaining look at marriage. My girlfriend and I rented this and were laughing out loud from the get-go, no qualms whatsoever, as opposed to 'My Best Friend's Wedding,' which (barring Rupert Everett's performance) we found seriously stupid and offensive. Just because this movie has a light touch doesn't mean it's hopelessly trivial. If you enjoyed the remake of 'Sabrina,' you are bound to like the slightly retro feel of this one as well. Good popcorn movie!

Summary: Mindless and Senseless
Review: I do not understand how anyone could have enjoyed this film. The acting was terrible, as was the story. It barely held my attention, and I also felt that it was demeaning to women, in that it portrayed women as stereotypical psycho's who will do anything to get married, and to get their hands on a man's money! Renee Zelwegger & Chris O'Donnell were both a waste this film. I wouldn't watch it again, and wished I'd have listened to others who told me not to see it ...

Summary: Save your money!
Review: This is first time I have been compelled to write a bad review, but frankly, this movie was bad. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing I love more than a romantic comedy. However, this was not romantic and not funny. I didn't expect an Academy Award winning movie, just a cute, entertaining, romantic comedy. It didn't deliver. The two stars have been great in everything I have seen them in, but this movie just did not work for them. I felt no chemistry between them, Chris O'Donnell just irritated me the entire movie, and the lines these actors were expected to deliver were horrible. I was embarrased watching this movie. I've read the previous reviews and I must say I'm interested in seeing the original so I can see what they could have done with this movie. Skip this one and see "Return to Me" when it comes out on DVD/Video.

Summary: Cute, predictable romantic comedy is worth a rent.
Review: Cute, predictable, but funny movie about a bachelor (Chris O'Donnell) who wants to remain a bachelor, but knows that he should get married to Renée Zellweger. When his rich uncle gives him incentive and a deadline, hilarity ensues. This movie got a boost from the Bay Area since it was primarily filmed in SF. Anyone who hates Renée Zellweger should not see this movie, but if you could stand her in "Jerry Maguire", you can watch her in this movie. Three stars. Josh Bob says check it out if you have a date.

Summary: Best Romantic Comedy Since You've Got Mail
Review: Who would have thunk it? Chris O'Donnell finally stepping up into the lead role of a movie with a great plot, a good script, and a good supporting cast. I can't say enough about this movie. It will make you laugh and it will make you cry, (mostly laugh though). If you have seen You've Got Mail and you enjoyed it, then this is the movie for you. ENJOY! =)

Summary: Heart Warming
Review: I found this movie to be one of those "feel good movies". You know, the kind that when you've had a bad day and you wanna see something were everything turns out o.k. in the end. Renee Zelwegger does a really nice job..as she did in A Cool Dry Place and Jerry Macgiure. It is a really nice movie to watchwith a loved one on a quiet evening. It has a very light-hearted look at men who never can seem to commit (you know the ones) :) In the end the man is roped in by the woman..as it should be :) I think both men and woman can find the humor in this movie and I really recommend it.

Summary: Madcap and entertaining romantic comedy
Review: I found this to be a madcap and highly entertaining romantic comedy. This is a remake of the 1925 Buster Keaton classic, 'Seven Chances' and this story has been trotted out a number of times since in various forms so the material is far from fresh. Jimmie Shannon (Chris O'Donnell) is a confirmed bachelor who finds himself in love with Anne (Rene Zellweger). As his friends begin dropping like flies to the marriage bug, Jimmie realizes that his time too has come. So he proposes to Anne, but he botches it, making it so unromantic that despite desperately wanting to accept, she runs from the room. When his grandfather dies, he discovers that he is the sole heir to a vast fortune of $100 million, but to get it, he needs to get married by 6:05 PM on his birthday, which as it happens is the following day. With his one true love gone, he must marry someone, so he begins a litany of successive proposals to all his old girlfriends.The story is utterly predictable and overly zany. It is comedy in its simplest and most unsophisticated form. Slapstick, if done well can be very funny, and this was done well. There were numerous belly laughs in this film from the many sight gags and absurd situations that develop. The romance between Jimmie and Anne was also charming. The direction by Gary Sinyor was nothing special from a visual standpoint, but I felt he handled the setup of the sight gags well and did a good job of orchestrating the movement of the thousand or so brides in the chase scene (worthy of any Keystone Kops skit). The special effects on the Mustang scenes were pretty weak, though. Chris O'Donnell was very good in his role as Jimmie. His comedic timing was effective and he succeeded in looking totally hapless in his various scenes with erstwhile girlfriends. I thought his chemistry with Zellweger was excellent and sincere, especially at the end. Rene Zellweger was a good choice for this role. Though she is no goddess, she has a very natural, sweet and wholesome attractiveness; very real and vulnerable. She really made the romantic part of the story work single-handedly with her misty eyed looks and genuine longing for Jimmie. I rated this film an 8/10. I enjoy this kind of silly romantic farce, but it is not for everyone. It requires an ability to laugh at absurd, pratfall humor. If you are in the mood for a good light date movie, this might be a good choice. But, if you don't like slapstick, you will probably want to steer clear.

Summary: Corny Predictable 13-in-a-dozen Lovestory
Review: I watched this movie in the cinema and it was for my friends that I didn't leave after 30 minutes. This movie is so predictable that you already know how it is going to end after 15 minutes. I have to admit the first 10 minutes were endurable but after that... This movie is really very bad. The cast is uninspired and uncharismatic and the story is just a 13-in-a-dozen routine lovestory. An absolutely "no go".

Summary: Ummm......
Review: The Bachelor is something we have all seen before. Of course, if one guy does not acheive something he loses something! In this case Chris O Donnell must marry Renee Zellweger (sorry I can't remember these peoples names! ) or else he doesn't get a million dollars. A very stupid, but hilarious and romantic - a good film that I recommend you see if you liked the original film "Seven Chances."
