Review of I Could Never Be Your Woman (2007) by David M — 24 Jun 2013

I read the plot for this and it seemed both generic in places and similar in part to This is 40 (the presence of Paul Rudd and a comedy where one issue is the age of the 40yr old female lead). It also appearedto be straight to DVD as I'd never heard of it before. I was suspicious, but it was worth a look because of the cast.

Paul Rudd was as Paul Rudd always is in comedies. Fans of his would probably like his performance. He was ideally suited to his role too. Michelle Pfeiffer was ok, but nothing special. Others could have played her character - and possibly done better.

Pleasingly, the plot isn't 100% generic, but it was predictable and it just seemed a little cheaply done in places. There certainly wasn't that much complexity.

If you want something fairly funny, where you don't have to concentrate that hard and features familiar faces, then you may want to try this. It's not Oscar winning, but it's not absolutely terrible either.
