I watched this movie based on the generally strong reviews, but I was sourly disappointed and felt compelled to write a counterpoint.
Whatever chemistry led the lead actors to marry in real life failed to translate to the screen. Their conversations are humorless and devoid of the charm that makes good romantic comedies compelling. The suspension of disbelief required to swallow the characters' evolution is just too much. Imagine learning someone is a murderer and shrugging it off (not that this exactly happens in the movie, but that's what it felt like).
Amber's emotional range is mostly expressed via her hair style, and Sam.... Not an actor. Stick with directing.
I found this movie to be sub par.
