Trivia:
When Rebecca returns from Miami to New York and takes a cab through time square many of the billboards contain ads for other Jerry Bruckheimer productions, including "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" (2000), G-Force (2009) and Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (2010). more
Goofs:
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): After talking to the Finnish man from Nokia, he claims "We Scandinavians like her", however Finland has never been considered a part of Scandinavia. Scandinavia is a historical and geographical region in northern Europe that includes, and is named after, the Scanian Province. It consists of the kingdoms of Norway, Sweden, and Denmark. more

I thought it was a sweet movie :-), 15 February 2009
9/10
Author: rfurbert from United States

I'm not sure why people are giving this movie such a hard time. My husband and I went in looking for a feel-good, wholesome, lighthearted romantic comedy, and that's what we got.

The actors were all terrific. The "chemistry" was there. The storyline was interesting (not deep, somewhat predictable, but still pleasant and interesting). I laughed and smiled a lot throughout the film. I felt good as I walked out of the theater.

And I even thought that the movie did a good job of showing why people are shopaholics and how this addiction is so dangerous. The message was not so heavy as to detract from the feel-good angle of the movie, but it did try to display how ridiculous and shallow it is to be so defined by things.

You negative folks need to lighten up. Personally, I really enjoyed this movie!
