So I walk into the theater and what do I see?
90% female, 10% male and me.
What am I doing here, I asked myself with wonder.
Eh, it’s okay, I’ll be soon watching the god of thunder.
Okay so I am exaggerating, it was 85% female … no actually 87.5%. So what am I doing here? I can deal with rom-com that’s what. Luckily this flavor is a little different. What if you missed your true love, let them go, or let the opportunity to form a relationship slip through your fingers. To make matters worse, your best friend does everything you should have done and so your true love is still right there in front of you but with someone else. That’s gotta suck. In this case Kate Hudson plays the extroverted best friend, Darcy. She is fake, self-centered, and scary good at being this person. Some say she is like that in real life. I hope not. Ginnifer, who plays Rachel, is adorable and the definition of cute. I know her mostly from “He’s Just Not That Into You” and like in that movie, she once again plays a suffering and emotionally abused girl. She’s good at that. So basically, the casting is well done. Colin Eggelsfield, who plays the part of Dex, the love interest, also looked the part. New to the leading man role, he did quite a decent job. John Krasinski, as Ethan, Rachel’s best guy friend plays a character reminiscent of Rupert Everett’s part in “My Best Friend’s Wedding” except he’s not gay. Another well cast part. John was funny, refreshing and the type of friend anyone would want to have. Two of Priscilla’s favorites, NYC and the Hamptons looked pretty good too in all their glory. READ FULL MOVIE REVIEW
