Review of last week's film ("Romantics Anonymous", 4 stars)
Steven says:The laughs started within the first 30 seconds of the film, and they never really let up. The writing was simple and funny, the timing and editing crucially accurate, and the overall film sweet and joyful. And there's chocolate -- good chocolate. It's a great date movie or Valentine's offering without being too sickly sweet or offering a forced star-crossed storyllne.
