Alex & Emma
Writer Alex Sheldon must finish his novel within a month. If he doesn't, he won't get paid. And, if that happens, angry Mafia types to whom he owes money will come looking for him. In order to expedite things, Alex hires typist Emma Dinsmore and begins dictating his novel. The book is about a doomed love affair between a character similar to Alex and a character named Polina Delacroix. But, as Alex falls for Emma, his work takes a different turn.

I love this movie so much
the audience applauded
Memorable, crazy movie
Just perfect...
The sweetest couple I've ever seen on screen!! By quite a bit! They're perfect for each other. Alex has this magnetic personality with tons of charm and Emma is this very practical, forthright, honest, lovable, sweet woman seemingly capable of holding worlds together. She's constantly trying to steer Alex down the right path. I could watch her smile 24/7! The best is when she says a silent "bye" when standing outside his door as she is heading home one day, toward the end of the movie. I would pay good money to see Kate Hudson play a role similar to this one more time! Great movie! You've got to be sentimental to really enjoy it.
Another romantic comedy from K. Hudson that you actually not care about; after all her last movie (How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days) sucks badly. But this movie is actually not that bad and is actually have more senses and have pretty good story line.The movie went great until almost at the end of the movie when it adapted most of the typical romantic movie storyline (i.e. when couple fight and makeup later).Anyway the movie might make it for the romantic movie lover, for then I think it would be boring for everyone else since the movie is quite slow.Recommendation: Worth One Watch (so rent it) Rating: 5.5/10 (Grade: C)
The only thing that I now about that twit Kate Hudson is that1. she defies the Cat Stevens song, "Wild World" by getting by with her incorrigible beaming smile and 2. her plucky personality that got her "foot in the door" to be the star of Hollywood, chick flick hell movies with barely any noticeable moments of actual dilemma, confrontation or believable conflict, with everyone coasting on their merry way, and making sure that nobody in the audience is stirred by anything remotely provocative or interesting. Not only that, when you are in so-called comedy, the movie is supposed to deliver laughs or perhaps if it is a subtle comedy, one should have the overall feeling that the movie justifies some sort of punch line. Kate Hudson, that French-loving sycophant moron, is not talented enough to carry any comedy film. And that's why all of her films suck because some insecure, talentless producer along with her sycophant to promote lackluster crap, and think that most of Americans desire to see these movies for style and not for substance. They also assume that everyone is programmed to watching trite, predictable, one trick pony, date-movie crap that Hollywood s*its out every other month.
What a waste of an interesting comedy. Could've been wonderful, seriously, it could've been, but...Anyway, I've grown tired of this recent trend that romantic comedies can't be either romantic or a comedy. Well, I guess it's not a recent trend, but there's a huge problem with it. This movie was neither funny nor tear-jerking nor anything of importance. Which is really sad, considering its director.The "plot" is that a writer has a limited time to write a book and so he dictates it to a hired secretary. Two romances are going on; one in the book world and one in the real world. Neither are romantic. A waste, a crying shame, whatever you want to call it, DON'T see this movie. Go watch Love, Actually or another good rom-com. Let this burn in the depths of Hollywood Hell.
