Reviews:

Filipe Manuel Neto (2/10)

I've seen much better romantic comedies.

I'm not a fan of romantic comedies, but I recognize their value and quality. There are a number of very good romantic comedies, in fact, but I'm sorry to say this isn't one of the brightest.

Watching the movie, I felt that a lot of its success or failure depends on how much each viewer likes the main character... and I didn't really feel like I sympathize with her. This character's personality is non-existent... to the point of only discovering that she is in love with her best friend when she is on the verge of seeing him in the arms of another girl. Is it really that difficult to know your own feelings and understand when you love someone?

The script, by the way, is basically based on this premise, and the subsequent struggle to prevent him from actually getting married. It should be mentioned that the two characters had an agreement to marry if they reached the age of 28, which brings us back to that worn out “old spinster” cliché. And of course, there is a homosexual in the middle of this story: a very blatant and stereotypical gay, which should sound offensive to any legitimate homosexual (I believe).

Julia Roberts has shown us her talent many times, and there are several films of hers that I could recommend if asked. However, the actress doesn't do a good job here. I don't know how far this could have been a consequence of poor direction and a pathetic conception of her character, but the actress didn't do well, even though she tries to be nice. For anyone who wants to see her in great shape in a good romantic comedy, there are better movies available. On the other hand, Cameron Diaz reasonably gets rid of what he has in his hands, but he is not in a film that allows him to shine more. Rupert Everett is disappointing and one-dimensional, and Dermot Mulroney doesn't do more than the bare minimum.

I don't know why I like this movie. I think it's just because of how crazy funny Julia Roberts starts acting when she finds out her best friend is getting married. Kind of reminds me of some of my crazy ex's.
