7/10
Initially disorienting usage of dual screen winds up being pretty cool.
6 June 2006
This entire movie is split screen- with two 4:3 aspect ratio squares that occasionally meld into each other. At first, it is extremely disorienting and a bit annoying- get used to missing something because there's just too much to take in during the first sitting. After a while your eyes adjust to this new form of movie watching and it can become quite entertaining- but you really have to stay sharp and pay attention or watch it a few times.

THis is a chemistry and dialog movie- there's some decent chemistry between the leads but I wouldn't exactly call it scorching hot. This movie is 93% dialog with a small slice of set changes and a very small shaving of sex. This could wind up being really bloody boring if you watch it when you are not in the mood for the vibe of this flick. This is fluffy date movie crap with a more mature tone to it but at the end of the day it's still a bunch of cotton candy for girls.

THE PLOT:

A woman who has a past with the brother of the bride at a wedding becomes a last minute bridesmaid. THe rest can be chalked up to alcohol, what happens to women's sexuality directly after a wedding and reliving old times for old times sake and not much else, much to the disappointment of our male lead who winds up begging a lot- which can be a bit lame.

THis is one of the more mature wedding films you are going to see and all in all I think it is very watchable but a bit off on the chemistry side of things- the director didn't really delve into the fact that a woman who really has a "thing" for a guy she "shouldn't" sleep with actually becomes MORE turned on by the concept of potentially having sex with him-the whole alpha male bad-boy thing- it's been working for centuries now. I think the woman was written incorrectly- she would have been wilder IMHO.
