"The hardest trick is making them stay"

Shangri-la Cineplex

Shangri-la, Cinema 1

A cute date movie about internet dating. Not as engaging and interesting as "You've got Mail" though but I enjoyed it. Diane Lane is such a delight to watch no matter what movie she is in. John Cusack as we all know is an actor's actor who tends to portray sensitive guys with a lot of angst. Not really much chemistry between them but the concept of internet dating is really common these days. The film does hit a few raw nerves. Heck, don't get me started on my own horror stories regarding internet dating. The blurb says it all - 'the hardest trick is making them stay' - because really honestly truly most of them NEVER call back after the first date! That is the sad truth. Or maybe I am setting too high standards, all of them fail miserably. But anyways, the movie was ok.
