Pretty good movie. Dennis Quaid recovered nicely from Flight of the Phoenix in this.
Topher Grace (That 70s Show) and Scarlett Johansson have good chemistry together and I thought that they meshed well together.
Good date movie, IMO.

I really enjoyed this movie. Topher Grace shows real potential, Dennis Quaid delivers as always, and Scarlett Johansen(sp?)...do I have to say anything about her?
In a way it's like a PG-13 Office Space...in that it makes fun of Corporations and execs the whole way through. Sappy at times, but even in it's most extreme sappiness, it's still clever and honest. I'd say that last 3rd is the weakest, as it becomes a little less hilarious and more family oriented and "feel-good".
As far as feel-good movies go this is one of the best I've seen in a while. Very refreshing movie...just what I needed in this gloomy post-holiday season. Good movie to go with your friends, date(s), and family.
Not to mentioned it features the music of The Shins and Iron and Wine, both very very good, yet still not well-known bands.
