A 2003 romantic comedy. In fact, it could probably be enshrined as the demonstrative archetype of the genre, despite featuring characters much older than the usual. It features a wealthy, attractive man who spends half the movie being wrong about everything and getting lectured for it, and the other half desperately trying to please women and change himself into the perfect mate for the woman he wants to be with. Packed into that one sentence is pretty much every stereotype of the romantic comedy genre, and that's pretty much all the movie is. |

It's saved somewhat by an [[All-Star Cast]] giving very sincere performances (and it's always kind of amusing to watch [[Jack Nicholson]] bumble around being a romantic lead). |
