Nia Vardalos and John Corbett had chemistry in My Big Fat Greek Wedding like Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks in You've Got Mail. To my greatest dismay, their chemistry was off in this film.
Nia plays the flower shopkeeper who everyone loves - but she wears a smiley facade as well as any scarf or dress she owns. John Corbett, the suave-but-not-too-handsome tapas-restaurant owner who needs a pick-me-up in life, works down the way. The problem - flower shop girl does not believe in love and tries to teach her friends and fellow business owners her 5-step-plan to have the perfect dating relationship.
Although this movie had the elements for a funny love story and the actors were suited for the part, the aspect of funny was muddled by the deeper emotional baggage divorce causes than the movie could handle.
