This movie was terrible. Simple as.


It really was. I didn't expect the comedy of Bridesmaids, but I expected a melodrama with at least some humour and jokes which I could laugh at. I remember seeing this in the theatre about 2 years ago and the entire screen was empty (first time in my life, i've ever been the only person there during a screenin.) I couldn't believe the movie just ended.

Every scene in this movie is close to pointless. The movie barely has a plot (if you could even call it that.) Characters aren;t developed and when they put certain characters in dramatic situations, the lack of development made me not care.

One scene I thought was well done, was the thanksgiving dinner scene. I could see these actors were trying (even though the writing was terrible.)And I thiught they all handled themselves well.

Overall please don't see this movie, it's extremely pretentious and boring. Watch Bridesmaids instead, you'll get a few chuckles out of it and it doesn;t take itself too seriously. Unlike this piece of *beep*

I came on here to see if anyone felt the same as me an there it was your words . This movie is terrible . Pretentious. Also I feel it's a bit self serving that Jennifer W put herself in the main role of the innocent cool character who Adam Scott realizes at zero hour how he can't live without her. I was home sick and watched this on Netflix because it had Adam Scott . Just terrible . Thanks for saying it too. Makes me feel better that you tried to warn people

Totally agree. I got this movie free when I signed up for Dish. I would have been pissed had I actually paid for this crap. The writing and Jennifer were horrible. I too love Adam Scott and thought he was great.

I hated the ending too. It did just stop. Like hello! Is that it? Did someone change the channel on me? It was a horrible ending
