I had to turn this off. UNBEARABLE.

After 40 minutes - and that was too long already - I had to stop.
Otherwise I would have thrown my TV out of the window.

4 women, constantly screaming all at the same time, wildly gesticulating, totally pointless and extremely un-funny dialogues, obviously an attempt to make all those hens coming along extraordinary unique, chaotic and oh so clumsy, yet so lovable - NOT.

It was the first movie I just couldn't sit through. THE HORROR.

The makers should be seriously ashamed of what they delivered here.

I couldn't even have a laugh about how miserable it was.

That is all.

^ Nice to know they are other people in this world who recognize trash when they see it!

Likewise! Glad I'm not the only one.

Sad to see actors like Tom Everett Scott ending up in crap like this.
Also for Diane Keaton this was a really poor choice.

Started watching this and after the first few minutes I thought - this is one of the reasons why most men loathe "chick flicks". So annoying.

This is why I'm not a woman who is bowled over by Diane Keaton. Sure she is in great shape and looks good for her age but I have seen her on shows like Jimmy Fallon and she acts the same way! I thought she had too much to drink but now I think she has ADHD. She drove me crazy in this show even though she slightly reminded me of my mother and my two sisters.
I'm the oldest and never told my mother anything! My sisters told her everything so this really reminded me of that relationship. Oh my God! I couldn't take it! Good thing I didn't see it at the movies because I would have walked out too.

I'm 26 and I've been watching movies with her as the main actress for years and I have to agree. One of my favorite films has always been The First Wives Club, but her character is my least favorite. She's just very chaotic and all over the place. I thought maybe it was only for that role because they wanted her to be this uptight and introverted woman who was afraid to stand up to her ex husband, especially when compared to Bette Midler and Goldie Hawn's characters. However, I've seen her in so many more movies since then and she always plays the same character. Her character is always the loud, clumsy, and awkward one. Do you know of any roles where she's played a serious character or is this type of character the one she always plays?

Thank God the mother got a boyfriend. That was the only thing that shut her up. They sure looked like they had a lot of good cakes lying around! The last one looked terrific. Too bad it fell off the cliff!

Saw this last night and it was very irritating! It tried my patience, indeed.
Not a patch on how enjoyable While You Were Sleeping was, which I saw on the 14th of this month.
