My Comment:
I was hoping that I would get a light romantic movie, when western meet eastern just like Bride and Prejudice. I got disappointed a little, it was light but I didn't get the chemistry nor excited. It was just so-so. This movie might be the first movies of Jonathan Rhys Meyers and Kiera Knightley because they didn't act so good. I just don't get it why this movie got nominated on Golden Globes, was in the box-office and categorized on comedy (it really was not a comedy!). Overall, just okay.
