Saw it today. Expect a full review later this week. Probably a 3 of 5.
Pros: Good overall production and presentation, especially regarding the romance element. Modern and smart (cell phones are a major part of the relationship, for example), yet unmodernly unphyscial (yes, they make out eventually, but for a large part simply get to know each other). Plenty of humourous hilarious moments and catch phrases/dialogue.
Cons: The other major element, regarding the death of Orlando's father, subsequent relations with southern country-type family, the memorial service, etc, clashes awkwardly with the romance element, which is much more entertaining. Kirsten's southern accent is wonderfully amusing, except she's not consistent with it. And the brief language and sexual references are random, standing out awkwardly and unnecessarily because the rest of the movie is so devoid of them.
