For being an Action - Rom/Com, it served its purpose with regard to being entertaining. There were parts that I laughed at, so I will give it credit where it's due.
That said, the whole romance side of things fell pretty flat. I thought that Channing and Sandra had good banter - as friends. Even when Channing's character, Alan, was somewhat confessing his feelings, I couldn't buy into it. No sexual chemistry between them, no tension, nothing that made me feel like they were genuinely physically attracted to each other. Especially with Sandra's character, Loretta. In fact, she was pretty condescending to him for most of the movie.
For the five seconds Brad Pitt's character was there, I actually felt like she had better chemistry with him than Channing.
That said, I don't think I will rush to watch this again, but I would recommend it to someone curious to watch.
