I love me some chick flicks but this was horrible. Horrible, horrible, horrible.

Channing Tatum can't act and he mumbles (but is pretty cute). Amanda Seyfried did okay but yeah, the acting as a collective whole was poor. I might have liked it with better casting. Say... Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling? Just kidding :)

Yeah, horrible.

Didnt think it was horrible. But didnt think it was really good either. :D

Cast someone else in Tatum's role and I think the movie could move into the good category.
