(What I wrote nearly ten years ago! I'm glad I wrote so badly at the time, and I have grown up.)

There are two movie spoilers ("Single Men and Women" and this movie), be careful! After winning the Oscar for the role of Johnny Cash's wife in "Forever", Reese Witherspoon has no more moving roles. It is said that her awards often remind me of two other actresses who are good at love comedy and finally made the Oscar podium in a serious literary film once in a hundred years in their career: Julia Roberts and Sandra Bullock. This is the love comedy that Reese returns to her best, but it only makes people feel powerless. Mentioning her most impressive is the old films "Election Night", "Love in Alabama", and "The Lawful Beauty Trilogy", just like the mention of Julia Roberts and Sandra Bullock that will always awaken my memory. They look like a silly eldest sister in a romantic movie. Maybe it's not a good script. Reese's comeback work "How Do You Know" is a relatively mediocre film. I watched this film the same evening after Louis Koo’s "Single Men and Women" by Lego Yuanyuan Wu. It's a coincidence that the two films have exactly the same story setting. They are also two men chasing a woman, a man with a heart and an infatuated man (the same is for the lover Gu Tianle and Owen Wells, who want to change their sexuality but are always struggling; the same; Daniel Wu and Paul Rudd, who are specific but not good at expressing, are also the heroines who hesitate to make up their minds, and even the important props are also buses! But fortunately, Du and Wei Jiahui still defeated James Brooks of the United States in the PK. This is why the same big-name director and actor, "How Do You Know", which was released first, is not as famous as "Single Men and Women". Unlike "Single Men and Women", which is clean and "only talk about love", the film is filled with a chatty temperament in 2 hours. The director (also the screenwriter-a typical "successful academic control") takes the trouble to put some " "Inspirational quotes" are poured into the protagonist's mouth and let them spit out in various scenes. The result is that the audience feels like chewing wax. Come on, romance films just talk about love, don't forcefully squeeze in some untuned things, movies are for the audience, not your position to express your outlook on life, I want to teach and publish books! Or simply make an inspirational movie, don't just use it in a romance movie to defeat the audience's appetite! It is worth mentioning that Paul Luther's performance, a guy who is as devastated but dedicated as the architect played by Daniel Wu. Let me barely survive for two hours. As for Jack Nicholson? In this film, it's a soy sauce maker.
