Very well executed

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

The characters may lack depth (workaholic who misses the guy she likes really liking her, a well intentioned but cheating man, the 2D "surfer dude", etc) and the plot predictable, but the presentation is refined rom-com material and is delivered nicely. I'm maybe getting older, but it's nice to see the settling down couple contrasted against the worried loner in middle age (maybe that's because it's familiar!) and I guess other (teen rom-com) movies explore this theme often enough too, but little is said of these people's lives except the romantic journey they're caught up on - unfortunately this results in two dimensional characters that exchange advice like it's going out of fashion.It won't break your heart or show you something new, but it's a refreshing, enjoyable movie.

My wife said this wasn't a good movie. We just finished watching it on TBS. I liked this movie. I think it showed heart. You can really identify with the blonde character, and you can also identify with the brunette. They end up sword fighting for the dippy-looking guy. Then one of them becomes pregnant in the Hamptons. The brunette goes to London to find herself, but all she finds is John Krashinski with open arms. The audience is forced to feel bad for John Krashinski, but I did not. I felt bad for the dippy guy's father, who didn't get his way when he wanted dippy guy to marry Kate Hudson. Sometimes you don't get everything you want in life, Dippy Dad. Deal with it.There is apparently a sequel coming out. I think it should focus on John Krashinski becoming a serial killer. Overall, 12 thumbs up from me, but only a half a thumb up from my wife. Thanks, honey!

I understand that the movie is based off of a book, so for that reason, I won't rate as terribly as I thought it originally deserved. That being said, most of the movie was pretty good and sucked me in pretty quickly. But then the end happened and I hated Rachel as a character and everyone involved in making this movie for giving it such a cliché ending. She let everyone push her around the whole movie. I thought that maybe there was just a glimpse of hope at the end, but no. Dex had toyed with Rachel for months and cheated on her best friend whom he was engaged to at the time. If he had already been having these thoughts and was a decent man, he would have broken it off before anything happened. I hated him almost immediately. But Rachel on the other hand, I actually kind of liked. I thought maybe, just maybe she would finally realize that she was too good for Dex and didn't need him to be happy. But no. She apparently was completely okay with the fact that he had been cheating with her for months. Of course he's not going to cheat again because they're meant for each other, right? Whatever. I've always found it really funny how this behavior is looked completely down upon in the real world (as it should be) but is practically praised in Hollywood because everyone just knew that they were soulmates. The end of this movie was utter and complete crap, and I use that word because there is just not another one that will accurately and intelligently describe my feelings.

Considering the score I was expecting at least an average romantic comedy. They are so good to watch because they make you feel good even when you know that happy ending is coming so sure as tomorrow. But this movie still made me wonder, why on earth did I waste so much time to see it. The disappointment grew as the end drew nearer. In my opinion it is mentally humiliating to watch a movie when the main character makes every effort so that she would remain single, at the same time considered to be an intelligent woman, and wanting this man so badly. She seems to be ignorant understanding the meaning and consequence of her words. Lets don't forget that she studied to be a lawyer. In the end she comes to her senses again. But not completely. The leading man character on the other hand lets to be dragged along. His actions would in the normal life almost with no fail suggest that he will remain this guy who marries his current girlfriend just because she wants it and because this is convenient. And also with a pretty good reason - the leading woman character had long ago removed all the suspicion that she could be interested in him. I will rest my case.
