The film's charm just about overcomes its ludicrous silliness. There's absolutely no serious subtext here, despite several issues lingering just beneath the surface. It's just an excuse for the actors to cavort around referring to every kind of film from Breathless and John Wayne to Trainspotting and John Woo (the frequent recreations of classic scenes are quite clever and funny, including the opening Sunset Boulevard pastiche). McDonald and Montgomery are thoroughly engaging, keeping us laughing even if we never quite believe the romance. And Walsh's direction is lively and thoroughly entertaining. This is a sit-back-and-smile romance with nothing to challenge the brain.
