The Koopa Kommander now will issue his ratings:
STORYLINE: Romantic Comedy. A guy meets a hot chick, they plan to get married, things go haywire, etc. If you haven't seen a romantic comedy, see this and you will know how all romantic comedies play out. If you have seen romantic comedies, I'm sure you can play the movie in your head right now. Long story short, this is a predictable storyline with a happy ending. A few surprises here and there, nothing too spectacular.
6/10
CHARACTERS: John Krasinski and Mandy Moore aren't too shabby in this movie to be honest. They act like any young couple would in this movie. Also, Mandy Moore looks quite good in this movie. That's all the good stuff about the characters. Robin Williams wasn't at all good in this movie. I think he's running out of steam in terms of being funny. He plays a rather intrusive reverend in this movie, not something I think he should played. Better stick to voice acting for cartoons!
7/10
SOUND: Some gospel singing here and there and some decent music. That's about it.
7.9/10
LAUGHTER: I'm really stuck on this one. It wasn't that funny of a movie for me and some other people my age (19) but many old (and I mean 50 years+) people were laughing. I think overall it could have been funnier. Therefore, I'm giving it a low score simply because I feel the movie did not reach to the intended audience. 3/10
FINAL WORDS: Robin Williams has already peaked. He just isn't that funny anymore. The movie could have used a fresh comedian or one that is still in his or her prime. I was very disappointed in this movie. I felt I wasted a Thursday night watching it.
FINAL SCORE: 6/10
