This is a great film.
I agreed to watch a chick flick and some how ended up with this. I had never heard of it or anyone in it (excpet Mike from Friends).
But it is great! Eva, Lake and Paul give amazing performances. The humour is consistently dry and witty.
Paul Rudd pretty much plays the mike character from Friends (which works great). The other characters are stereotypes and the plot is formulaic (I mean we are not talking 'Apocalypse Now' here) But the characters are likable, the story is engaging, the soundtrack, production and direction all work well.
In all a great feel-good film that really deserves a lot more credit than it gets.
Everyone has their own tastes but I really don't understand the one star reviews for this.
*Watched again in 2022* This is still great!
Eva Longoria still steals the show and I still chuckled all the way through.
