I really don't care for depressing endings, thanks.

Because they had a few other places in the movie where they tried to show it...when Joe stayed at her apartment for instance...and it didn't work. The chemistry was missing, that I totally agree about. (even if Jason has some seriously tight abs. Mama!) But it was the beginning of the movie, and I had hopes for them because of that <b>one</b> scene. Then, unfortunately, it fizzled instead of sizzled. Of course, this is just my opinion (because I happen to be one of the few people that actually likes Katie Heigl. And I really like Jason) but in the end that little three minute scene didn't hold up against the rest of the movie. But the setting and overall feel of the movie amused me and followed the book. So, it was a fun way to spend an evening even if everything didn't all the way work for me. One reason I don't EVER want Eve and Roarke to be made into a movie. They will NEVER be able to cast him. Nope...never. No…I suppose you could say it’s forced chemistry based on circumstance.

I think that almost kiss was supposed to be chemistry. But it so wasn't in my opinion, because they had no chemistry between them, not because there were no other opportunities in the movie. You can have chemistry with another actor/actress without ever getting close to them. But that kiss... It was just an almost kiss because the sizzle was missing from the entire movie.

I enjoyed it. It's not going on my 'keeper' dvd shelf, but I was amused plenty through the movie. I gotta agree on the Ranger thing. He...SMILED too much. lol The Ranger in my head was more the strong silent type with the, 'Baaaaaaaaaaabe." as most of his conversation with Steph. LOL Morelli...well, I didn't have trouble with him. Joe is kind of an alpha-hole in the beginning of the books, so it suited. The little scene when they first saw each other and he stole her keys to toss them in the dumpster...THAT was chemistry. That almost kiss. Then it was absent through the rest of the movie. Overall, worth the freebie movie I had from my Regal card. LOL It made me want to re-listen to the books again. I truly enjoyed the audio versions of the books best. I saw this last night with a few friends…one of which read the books and one that will be reading thanks to the movie. I enjoyed it.

It was as bad as some of the Japanese Manga series out there, and I finally told my husband that despite the humor in the stories, I just can't handle a series that stays stagnant. (I used to read them aloud to him, BTW) He agreed. We opted to stay with Carl Hiaason and Terry Pratchett for our serial reading. Frankly, I usually have issues when books are made into movies or TV series--it's never quite as good as what I come up with in my head so I've stuck with the printed stuff nine times out of ten.

Those who've read this book might remember that Stephanie steals Joe's car, and then proceeds to use his CAR PHONE. But in the movie, they quite thankfully cut that part, because she does have a cell phone and his car doesn't, thank God, have a car phone, lol.

Thanks for your thoughts though. I suspected the humor of the books wouldn't translate well to the big screen but that's the risk you take when you get your material from popular fiction novels. Sounds like no one made the story any better or updated it to modern times. I read the books and will just have to pass, pass, pass on the movie. Thanks for your thoughts though.

And I agree, I thought Cho was a fun character, and I actually thought he was going to be the series' Mooner. I LOVED that polka-dot dress she was wearing!
