Meanwhile, Mike (played by Butler) is the obnoxious host of an obnoxious talk show about relationships who gets hired for the morning show (against Abby's wishes) in the hopes of boosting ratings. Heigl plays Abby, the uptight producer of a local Sacramento morning TV show who's always on the lookout for love but never finds it. This is actually a very enjoyable movie, and at times (I'm thinking of the scene in the restaurant) it's downright hilarious. But I have to confess that I was surprised. Truthfully, I'm not a huge fan of Gerard Butler, and I'm really not that familiar with Katherine Heigl, so I can't say that I went into this movie with particularly high expectations. Mike Chadway: Beats the shit out of me, but I am. Mike Chadway: Shut up! Yet again I just told you I'm in love with you and you're standing here giving me a vocabulary lesson.Ībby Richter: You're in love with me. Mike Chadway: I just told you that I loved you and all you heard was 'psycho.' Well you're the definition of neurotic.Ībby Richter: No! The definition of neurotic is a person who suffers from anxiety, obessive thoughts, compulsive acts, and, and physical ailments without any objective evidence of. Especially when I'm in love with a psycho like you. Mike Chadway: Oh, yeah? Well what does that mean?Ībby Richter: I'm Mike Chadway. I had a momentary lapse in judgement when I thought you were more than you are, but you aren't. Mike Chadway: Oh, c'mon, I never had a chance with you.Ībby Richter: You're right. Well if you think we're going to finish what we started in L. Mike Chadway: Oh, I know, I've got a great idea! Why don't we pass the time with you telling me how much *fun* you and Colin had having sex in Los Angeles?Ībby Richter: I broke up with Colin in Los Angeles, you jackass!Ībby Richter: Oh, oh yeah, that's got your interest.
