Formulaic, but I bumped it up a notch for the probably unintentional examination of internalized misogyny.  Harry Winer directed.

I'll admit to having lower standards for romcoms than some genres, but, honestly, it's hard to feel sympathy for a man who gets a "Dear John" letter and then flies to New York in order to stalk his ex and her new lover.  (Well, initially he wants to get her back, but then he finds out about the new guy and decides to stay in the City and stalk them.)  I also have an anti-Meg-Ryan bias, but she isn't in the first quarter-hour, so my grade is not influenced by her in this case.  Still, the music was kind of nice, so D+.
