Synopsis

Alex, a novelist with serious writer's block--and an even more serious gambling problem--needs to finish his novel to pay his gaming debts. Frantically working to complete his novel in 30 days, Alex (Luke Wilson) hires Emma (Kate Hudson), a stenographer with strongly held opinions.

Now, as characters resembling Emma appear in Alex's work--and Emma challenges Alex's ideas at every turn--life begins to imitate art, and art to imitate life ... and Emma's irritating, intriguing influence on the novelist develops into a love between Alex & Emma.

Loosely based on the story behind the creation of Fyodor Dostoevsky’s short novel The Gambler.

a waste of time

The movie's whole plot is really ridiculous. Luke Wilson's character Alex is supposed to finish writing his second novel in a month in order to pay off the mob. So Kate Hudson's character (Emma) works with Alex to help him write the book as he recites it. Well after that the movie starts getting rather slow and drags on. The only thing that makes this movie any fun is the arguments between Alex and Emma about how the scene in the book should be written. This makes most of the movie enjoyable. Another thing I enjoyed was Kate Hudson playing many different roles. They were amusing. Other than that, this film was very dull and forgettable. It's a shame because this movie, I think, had a lot of potential but the writing on this baby was pretty bad. The movie also has a very unoriginal ending which I am sure anyone without seeing the movie can guess.
