I really liked this film and there are multiple reasons behind it. First unlike many films where the word Republican = Evil, and Democrats = Saints this film has both Senatorial candidates as being corrupt, which is fair. Next Keaton & Davis have real chemistry together, and are both on the same level (Which is rare these days. Usually it is one is rich and the other is poor, one is smart and the other is dumb, or something like that). It is also funny, (Spoiler ahead: The part when they find out what the other does for a living at the school (And the reaction of the teacher and kids) is worth watching in and of itself). Finally, this is not a "chick flick" which in 99% of cases, is an absolute turn-off from the get go. It is mostly told from Kevin's (Keaton's)point of view, which means that as a straight guy, I could watch it without changing the channel. Frankly, I have seen one too many films with women trying on wedding dresses (Sad to say, these women are not exactly hot to begin with). Is it the best romantic comedy of all-time? No "Blind Date", "Stakeout", "Adventures In Babysitting" & almost anything starring Myrna Loy (Most notably "Libeled Lady & "I Love You Again")are my personal favorites. But it is well worth watching. Highly recommended.
score 9/10
