Buying the Cow

"Buying the Cow" is a somewhat stiff, run-of-the-mill, mating game romantic comedy (emphasis on comedy) full of vanilla actors in plastic roles, somewhat herky-jerky, band-aided with a couple of side plots, which does deliver some funny moments and finally connects with a little romance in the end. The film's conglomerated story has to do with a woman with marriage in mind who wants a commitment from her significant other who fell in love at first sight years ago and is reluctant to marry....etc. Much of the film is cliche stuff we've seen before and there's little fresh creativity to be found. Nonetheless, the film's heart is in the right place and it should provide a modicum of entertainment for young adults and suckers (like me) for the romantic comedy genre.
