After the War of the Roses, this idea pales by comparison. Meg Ryan (Louise) has discovered her husband Ian (Timothy Hutton) has been cheating on her with Sara (Kristen Bell) and plans on leaving for Paris with her. To stop him from doing so, she uses the magic of duct tape and begins her last seduction of her captive audience. However, they are interrupted by Sara and then later Todd (Justin Long) a criminal intent on robbing the house. Seemingly meant to be a dark comedy, this film comes off as pathetic and desperate and just plain sad. The comedy wasn't laughable and at times it felt like a rerun of Three's Company. I did not see the ending coming and that did turn out to be a humorous touch like the cherry on top a sundae. It wasn't a terrible film, but not a fabulous one either.
No bite: Not terribly funny but okay to watch if there is nothing else on.
