The lack of chemistry between Michelle Argyris and Corey Sevier was distracting. It didn't help that Dan was being a jerk through at least 40 minutes (commercial run time) of the movie but once that passed, that was no longer the issue as far as chemistry. From then on I was amazed at the lack of emotional connection between the two. I never did like Dan.
The story wasn't completely derivative, but it wasn't that great either. There were no great highs or lows or surprises and there was barely any moment of conflict.
There is one pivotal event late in the move which was pretty stupid and yet from that point on it received constant attention. The more attention it received, the more ridiculous was it's believability, but then anyone who watches many of these movies knows that reality is often abandoned.
Cosette, the girl actually from France, had a fake sounding accent, but to my ear, when Julie spoke in French her accent was very good. Argyris sounded exactly as Julie was meant to be - an American with excellent training in languages.
