Boys and girls, REMEMBER these life lessons...

If you steal your best friend's girl/marry his fiancée - with nary a twinge of guilty conscience (even though you've known the guy for 21 years and the girl for only ONE DAY!) - you can expect your buddy to be a good sport about it! In fact he'll play matchmaker should you two have marital problems in the future! Feel free to be an insensitive jackass who complains if he hangs around too much - but when it suits you (ie: you're too busy at work to spend time with your wife), ask the jilted ex to keep her company & pacify her. Don't feel bad about ruining your friend's happiness, to get a woman you then basically ignore. It's all about the thrill of the chase, right?

If you dump your fiancé for his best friend (who you've only known ONE DAY!) - feel free to demand the 3 of you be jolly good friends forevermore. Don't be ashamed! Act joyful when you break the news and break his heart. It's okay if you make lots of insensitive remarks - heck, jokingly invite him to go on the honeymoon with you! It won't hurt him. Play the 2 men off one another - compare your husband to his friend, unfavorably, when your hubby's not being attentive enough. What is a woman *for*, if not to flirt and make men jealous?!

Yup, this movie is pretty bad. Billie Burke provides a little relief, with her typically amusing ditzy routine. I've enjoyed the stars in other films, but they can't save this one. Inconsistent and unsympathetic characters. Forced humour. Ridiculous plot (and it REPEATS! Aw man, it was no fun the *first* time - I don't wanna see these 2 selfish twits fall in love *again*!) Y'see, there's a magical (ahem, I mean "scientific") formula that makes people forget the last 6 months. I'll settle for forgetting the last 83 minutes. Gimme a drink!
