We're all such suckers for romance

Surprised by the voting on this movie, what's wrong with it? I'm not a J Lo fan much, but her part in this movie made me smile. I like her acting, she convinced me in this especially some of the touching scenes with Ralph Fiennes. Lovely message in the movie from brilliant Bob Hoskins (in a small role). The dog and Stanley Tucci make a great couple. The kid is a great actor, very convincing. Simple warm fun love story where everyone gets what they deserve! 9/10
