I thought it was a fun movie. They should have just not made it a rom com at the end. As others said, they didn't have any romantic chemistry, but the comedy generally worked, and they're both funny/likable.

Yeah I'm not paying to not have commercials and I'm not watching commercials in some crappy Prime movie.

Is it funny? I can deal with no romantic chemistry if it's actually funny.

I watched that Clooney/Roberts movie Ticket to Paradise and they had no chemistry but also it wasn't even a little bit amusing. Their characters are unlikable and there is no one to root for. I should have turned it off but I'm a completionism and I wanted to finish it so I could hate the whole movie.

But I could see Farrel and Witherspoon potentially being funnier so maybe that would make it okay?

Also, has Will F jumped the shark as an actor? He was just bad in this (vs Reese W was her usual appealing self).

He jumped the alligator (that is when I turned it off)

The mother was Jo from Alice!

Yes, to the Kate Hudson

Yep. Enjoyed it. Certain scenes have me surprised either of them would do this movie, but it was a mindless enjoyment for an hour and a half.

i enjoyed it. Fun, light, mindless rom-com that surprisingly wasn’t stupid. Yes, there was no chemistry between the leads but it was still good for what it was.

Not to mention very significant difference in attractiveness.

I'd say 6/10 but I'm sick in bed and it was ok in that context.

I just saw this on Amazon Prime for a little escapism. It was mindless but absolutely no chemistry with Will Farrell and Reese Witherspoon and I’ve never been a huge Will Ferrell fan. But, it’s fun and light and not too stupid or inane to be eye rolling. 7.7/10 if that’s what you are looking for.
