This was funny and pretty smart satire


I am puzzled when clever and funny-in-a-raunchy-way movies like this get poor reviews.

This is one of those movies where the less you know about the plot, the better. I had fun watching it, hope it gets more views.

Never go by the reviews. They give cult movies terrible scores all the time. Also, critics NEVER get comedies..... Roger Ebert anyone? He never got comedies.

The critics reviews mean nothing. The critics get flown into special screening, all paid for, wined and dined, etc, never trust a film critic. You ARE the critic, if you've watched as many films than those critics (Which isn't hard to do). Form your own opinions.

I'm going to give this a look, critics get it wrong ALL the time.

Tell us how you really feel about critics. Geez...

I thought it was okay (6/10), wanted to like it more. It's entirely predictable, you can see everything coming a mile away. Not that romantic comedies aren't usually this way, but I don't really see what was clever about this one. I think the parts that made me laugh the most were:

1) the awful dance at the rehearsal dinner by E2 and C2.

2) The part with E3 first coming out, and some of that whole sequence.
