Sometimes I hate Luv Storys too

It's one of those phases again - when most movies bomb and there's nothing good to watch. Most of the biggies of this quarter have bitten the dust, be it the over-hyped "Kites" or over-acted "Raavan". Along the way we have had films that fed upon the famine at the box-office like "Housefull" and the I-wrote-it-in-just-six-days dud, "Badmaash Company". Shahid's report card also received another red mark for "Paathshaala".

Now, I just cannot find enough enthusiasm to blow 300+ on tickets and popcorn to watch "I hate Luv Storys" - a movie which seems to say whatever it has to in the trailor itself. It literally screams 'predictable'. My friends recommended this movie saying that at least it would be a good-looking one but I have no soft corner for either Imran or Sonam. The one is just another chocolate-faced cutie with schoolboy talent and for the other, I think I'll wait for "Aisha". An adaptation of Jane Austen's 'Emma' starring Abhay Deol sounds much more promising.
