����I never thought watching a movie could be painful.� This movie sucked.� That's the best way to put it.� I figured this movie would be silly and stupid but laughable enough to watch.� HELL NO!� To put it in simple terms, the audience laughed thru much of the movie, not because it was funny but because it was so sad.� Imagine combining Cocktail, Melrose Place and an after school special with some really bad songs/singing.� Bad, bad, bad.� Did I mention that it was bad?

��� Good things about the movie:� Adam Garcia, a new comer, is very good as Kevin, the boyfriend.� Maria Bello, who plays the bar owner, Lil, isn't bad either.� She seems like a good bad ass.� I feel sorry for her though, the only two movies of her's that I have reviewed thus far, are the only two bombs I've given out (the other being Payback).� The acting wasn't horrible all around, the script was just terrible.� It couldn't be saved.� I can just hear my friends now that didn't want to see, "I told you so."� Yeah, yeah yeah.� There is one or two pretty good parts to the movie...that's where it ends though.� It's not even enough to warrant half a star.

��� Complaints:� oh, where to begin?� For those of you who are expecting a bunch of t & a, think again.� Tyra Banks is in the movie for about 2 seconds.� I'm surprised they had enough material from her to put her in the preview. � I don't know why they call her "the law" in the preview.� She doesn't do a damn thing.� The one thing they really don't let you know about in the previews is the fact that Piper Perabo, the star of the movie is a wanna-be songwriter. � And whoever wrote her songs that she sings in the movie is just that...a wanna-be. � They reek.� There isn't enough of the bar scenes and WAY too much of her singing.� I think the audience could care less about that.� The movie should have been more of a coming of age/ love story, rather than an aspiring artist story. � The movie was also predictable.� For those of you who saw it, could you not tell that the man in the jacket at the bar that gets squirted with water was someone important?� Is she that dumb?� I guess so.� I won't even go into the ridiculous comic book b.s.

��� I don't know why I expected more from a first time anythinger, David McNally and a virtual new comer to writing, Gina Wendkos, backed by Jerry Bruckheimer (the king producer of action flicks).� It was just sad all around.� I don't think this is even a movie you can get a good laugh at while making fun of.� It's just something you should avoid at all costs.
