| | Unprofrater 05/01/2011 | | I rate this film much higher than two stars based on the script twists, the well-staged scenes and some of the dialogue exchanges. Both Wahlberg and Aniston played their parts well and believably. Did Wahlberg sing or was it dubbed? Why is the film listed as a comedy? |
