It is a typical, predictable, light movie as many others.  The guy behind this film is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0525659\/\">Robert Luketic<\/a>, who has less then 5 movies under his belt, with &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0250494\/\">Legally Blond<\/a>&#8221; being one of them.  You get the idea.  Most of the cast was also new to filmmaking and acting business alltogether.  There were only two people who pushed this film up from 2\/10 to 5.6\/10 &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0333410\/\">Topher Grace<\/a> (Pete, the guy who&#8217;s silently in love) and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm1045423\/\">Ginnifer Goodwin<\/a> (Cathy, blonde&#8217;s friend).
