Nice Relaxing Film - but Cheap - By: Sam, 12 Sep 2007
Alex is an author with a gambling problem - he owes a lot of money to some dubious people. He has 30 days to pay up so he decides to get someone in to type up a book as he narrates it. His temp arrives in the form of bookish & forthright Emma who has an opinion on almost alll he writes. The film then splits between showing the writing process & the characters in the book (played by Alex & Emma). Will Alex get his book finished in time? Will his feelings for Emma grow enough to withstand the introduction of a femme fatale?

'Alex & Emma' is a perfectly good romantic comedy that I happened across one night on TV. The budget suffers somewhat as a large part of the action takes place on one set & in the dubious looking past. However, the two leads in Hudson & Wilson make this a surprisingly funny experience. Hudson in particular proves to be an adept comedienne. I would not recommend this over better known rom coms, but as a way of passing a Sunday afternoon there are far worse experiences.
An undervalued gem - By: R. H. Smith, 03 Jan 2007
I think the other reviewer doesn't do this film justice. Yeah its your typical boy meets girl but it puts a different spin on things & makes you laugh. Having the same actors for the book & real life means that there are some reallly effective comic scenes. It is also refreshing to have a hero with proper flaws & a heroine with a proper job. As characters they are surprisingly believable & the ending is well balanced & not too gooey. A romantic comedy in the truest sense of the moniker but definitely worth a watch!
What a boooooooooooooring movie!!! - By: P. Pliatsikas-bartels, 08 May 2006
How can you calll this a movie? It's about a guy who writes books & a girl who writes them for him. And please what a lame idea! The whole story is about his book which is: guy likes girl. guy thinks girl is reallly nice. guy goes out with girl & realises he likes other girl. guy doesn't know which girl to choose & cheats on them. Hello? Where did alll the nice movies go? 2 stars because this movie is with Kate Hudson, a reallly nice actress & not worth it to play in these kind of movies.
