Its incredibly predictable, the acting is that great, the plot is simple, but who can resist a fun romantic comedy-especially one where the underdog gets the girl! I loved Bradley Cooper in Alias and he does a great job in this movie. I also love how they make fun of the reality dating show on the film. In fact one of the contestants on I Want to Marry Ryan Bank is in fact one of the contestants that was snubbed on the Bachelor. Gotta love that Is this film going to be a romantic comedy classic? No. But every time i see it on Fox Family I can't resist watching it. Its a feel good movie that can't help make the viewer smile

I had seen the previews for this and decided to watch it just for some giggles. Unfortunately, I really didn't laugh much. This was a cute movie, there is absolutely nothing bad to say, it's predictable and maybe a little corny but certainly not unwatchable.But it wasn't all that funny. There was also absolutely no romantic chemistry between anyone so that took away from it. This really isn't my type of thing but I tuned in thinking they were really gonna do a satire on reality TV or something. To an extent they did. And the twist at the end was sweet-though it would have been better if it had been believable in any way. I saw another romantic comedy(also with a terrible title) called "win a date with tad Hamilton' around this same time and that one was in the theater. That was much much much better and had more of the humer I really appreciate. This was passable-a decent way to pass the time-but left me with a slightly unsatisfied feeling-I really wish they'd gone more into depth on reality TV in a comedic sense then making this just another romantic comedy-it worked for another Hollywood satire "America's sweethearts'. But in that case, the characters all had a lot more chemistry and hammed it up more. This was OK, as mentioned, there was just something missing. I'd say about a 5.5 out of 10.

Caught this movie on a cold, boring, Saturday night- and it hit the spot. Bradley Cooper, from Alias, caught my eye at first, and I actually got thru the whole movie- and was surprised at the end.What was the most interesting is a behind the scenes look at a reality tv show, like the Bachelor. I think this movie could have been so much more, if it was alittle more realistic- like wouldn't the lead characters have cameras following them everywhere? regardless, I liked the love story and saw a true connection between Emma and Bradley. Perfect movie to watch, on cable, for free, when there isn't a baseball game on.
