Once upon a time, I liked Gerard Butler. In his Tomb Raider days. He was mysterious and foreign and interesting.
But not anymore.
He's gained commercial success, which means he's opted for the smarmy/good looking/former rebel now sappy guy roles that tend to be offered to moderately successful, handsome actors after they've struggled for awhile and then been 'noticed' by the public.
Sigh.
And Katherine Heigl? I loved her on Grey's Anatomy for a long time. Even put up with her occasionally whiny, narcissistic moments.
But this role?
She managed to mangle the informed intellectual female role to where it resembled a more shrewish, bitter, insecure look and feel and I didn't like it at all.
Bad writing.
Mediocre acting.
Disappointing outcome.
