...will get back together with his supportive, though somewhat dumpy wife. Director Peter Chelsom (The Mighty, Serendipity) is better known for his wholesome family fare than suggestive romance, and his skill at putting together anything more than a completely innocent work is greatly doubtful. With the utterly harmless Beatty as the romantic lead, even the cleavage shots lose their steaminess.

...harmless drivel they pump out for the next hour is entirely uninteresting. Their attempt at a bad boy look, with all-black outfits and the occasional smoldering glance would probably have elicited multiple beatings in a rough neighbourhood. As vocalists, their wispy sound has to be augmented substantially by a large backing band and background vocals. As for dancing, O-Town’s bored movements lack either energy or real soul...
