Great cast, mediocre movie(still good)

I was expecting more of this movie...A cast with Meg Ryan, and Antonio Banderas in it can do only good and it did but not quite as I expected. It's a nice comedy, not the funniest, not the worst. If it had unknown actors it would probably be rated pretty bad but the cast brings the movie up. If you want a masterpiece it's not for you, if you want a fun, sweet, nice to watch movie you should see it. Colin Hanks was OK, Meg Ryan was good and Banderas was average. I don't know why but Banderas seemed a little fake in some parts, he had extra-use for his charm and that's not quite good in a comedy. My personal rating would be 8/10 as though I criticize it a lot it's not bad it's just not as good as I'd like to get from this cast.
