Liked
The cast.
Disliked
The fact it was boring the second time around.
Thoughts
A tolerable chick flick.
The best part was that the cast members were likable, including charming Witherspoon and both men in the love triangle. Since both were equally nice, it actually made the last act unpredictable. Even the complications felt plausible and logical, by chick flick standards. And as a 24 fan, I enjoyed seeing two folks from the series.
Unfortunately, I found it not very re-watchable. Not sure why the jokes and charm did not work on me the second time around. Maybe they were just too mild.
Bottom line is that it's a solid movie of its genre, and even boyfriends/husbands "taking one for the team" won't find it torturous.
What I would change
Nothing.
Random
For science people out there, ignore the unrealistic lightening-versus-humans part.
