It hoenstly grew on me. Each of the stories winds its way through love in a novel path. Heartfelt in the right ways. A little dated with some jokes, but it pulls it off.

Cute snapshot of New York. Treads a lot of the same ground as the first, but in a touching way. Good package all around.

Very charming. Like most of Ryan Reynolds movies, his charm carries a lot of it. Great cast too though, and the music was catchy.

Had a couple of charming bits but it was mostly humorless and pretty dumb.

Pretty dumb and a little wooden, but had a nice heart buried in there.
