Honestly!!
I read some not so great reviews, but there wasn't anything else worth watching, so thought I'd give this film a chance. And I'm glad I did!
I can only think that some of these 1 star ratings have come from true rom-com die hard fans. What I loved about this movie was instead of saying everyone should try and work at a marriage that isn't right, it slapped the old clichés in the face and ended with it's OK to walk away and start again. Before you have children and then see the light, ruining their lives.
Anyone whose been in a relationship longer than 5 years will relate to the trials and tribulations of every day life. And nod knowingly at the parts where the lead characters heads get turned by the other love interests.
The comedy was a bit forced at times, but I certainly laughed more than what I expected after reading some of the scathing reviews on here.
In summary, not the best film you'll ever see, but was a refreshing change to the average rom-com and I enjoyed the dry humour.
