George Clooney was smart to cut the bass / political environment with some schtick. (And he knows what he does when he goes to the wall to sign for their fans.)

Despite mixed reviews, I see it! Why did it so well? No writer that many of those who are good for them (Leslie Dixon, Richard Curtis, Nancy Meyers, Cameron Crowe, Nora Ephron and Audrey Wells come to mind), and even fewer directors who are willing to risk a soft “kind of women.
