I think this is the first ever movie that Hanks & Roberts work together which directed by Hanks. Its not really an exciting movie but good enough for you to enjoy with your love one. Its been a while i have not watch any Julia Roberts' movie, so this is a refreshing one for me :)

And and and, Wilmer Valdarrama is kinda hot :P
