Raising Helen (2004)
6/10
Boring and unimaginative
2 February 2005
Warning: Spoilers
There aren't many points that U can praise about this film. The story was unimaginative and lackluster. It was boring and unimaginative, The many different sub-plots did not have much cohesion and felt unnecessary. Even though this movie was packaged as a comedy there were only a few mildly amusing scenes which were just too far of each other to have any lasting effect.

What is it with Kate Hudson and romantic comedies?? Surely she is not trying to take the throne away from Meg Ryan. I thought she did a good enough of a job in How To Lose a Guy In Ten Days, but in this one she didn't perform as she should. Perhaps the script and plot line had something to do with it. I think it's high time that she get more diverse roles. She had such a promising start to her career it's a shame she has yet to come up with a good follow-up. I also didn't think there was much of a chemistry between the two lead actors.
