Her name will also pay dividends in international territories, but word of mouth will not kick in to give it long stays in theatres.įirst-time director Shankman, a talented choreographer with credits including She's All That and The Flintstones, obviously intended to make a romantic throwback to the golden age of screwball comedies but he mismanages the comic sequences, which are gauche and often inept.
The film opened with a respectable $13.5m over Superbowl weekend, no doubt boosted by Lopez' constant MTV exposure, and the fact that it was the only romantic comedy on release. Lopez rises above the sub-standard material and shows great promise as a romantic comedy star.
