Jim Carrey and Zooey Deschanel overcome an uneven script to make us laugh and sigh.

Director Peyton Reed is used to working in italics. His "Down With Love" (2003) was an entirely italicized movie, reworking the plot mechanics and arch visual strategies of the Doris Day/Rock Hudson sex comedies of the late 1950s and early '60s. It turned out more like a cinematic term paper than a movie, but Reed's willingness to go all the way -- further than Doris Day ever did, at least before the ring and the fade-out -- marked him as a director to watch.
