I watched this movie and three years later, it's still good to me. The actors are good, but it is Witherspoon's well put together body that is good, and above all the design elements are great. Some people say it has too many jokes and it's not for children. So what?

Good points: The houses are pretty. That's about it Bad points: The central character is unsympathetic. She gets so upset that a guy misses a dinner with her because he is trying to get financing for his movie. She should understand how hard it is to succeed in the industry and understand that. Sounds like an entitled immature me me me person. The relationship has no chemistry. Pico Alexander looks a too young for Reese - it's a tad predatory looking. He looks younger than an average 27 year old because he's slim. What happened to Michael Sheen? Usually British actors don't get out of shape. Not much a of a conclusion. What did you get out of watching this movie? Very little. The story is just too weak.

I've skimmed some of the reviews here, many of them so negative. What were those reviewers expecting? Shakespeare this is not. But it is a light, cute romantic comedy, and I enjoyed watching it. Sitting home alone on Christmas Eve, I spent a nice hour and a half watching these pleasant looking characters in a pleasant looking environment leading their pleasant, contrived and comical lives. That, and a bowl of popcorn - hey, it could have been a lot worse.

I always love Reese in anything, even though this was a little smarmy. Beacause Reese was in this it gave this movie something worthy to watch. I am glad I did. I like a good fun movie in the afternoon. I laughed, I cried, I liked it a lot. The three young men are charming, handsome and sexy in their own way. Nothing my hubby would watch, but I am allowed some fun for me. Yay! Now if I can just find another charming movie to see on my free afternoon.

I rented this movie first On Demand after a horrible work day. I just felt I needed something to help me relax. And this movie delivered exactly what I needed. I loved it. After watching this movie, all of the bad from my day was gone. It definitely is one of the best feel good movies I have ever watched. The characters were so real and relatable. The story, to me, was perfect. It had just the right amount of romance, and humor. Reece Witherspoon was great in this. The 3 guys that play Harry, George, and Teddy were wonderful and I just wanted to hug them all. This movie just really depicts real life situations that can happen and it does it wonderfully. It is a movie about starting over, and it hits the nail on the head. I've been through a very similar situation personally and I could totally relate to this movie. After seeing it On Demand, I went and bought the DVD and have watched it another 6 times. I may need to buy another copy, because I think I will wear the first one out. Anyone who gives this movie a low rating, just doesn't get it. I personally loved the movie and I would recommend it to anyone. It is definitely in my list of favorites. I applaud everyone in it and associated with it and say job well done.

I was drawn to watch this movie as soon as I learned that it was written and directed by Hallie Meyers-Shyer, her parents wrote Baby Boom, Father of the Bride Part I and II and numerous other movies I have enjoyed in the past. I am someone who loves a light hearted romantic comedy or family movie and there haven't been many of these in the past decade so I thought I would check this out. I have to say I went in with no expectations and I was pleasantly surprised. It is a light, sweet, heart warming movie, it has the look and feel of some of the old 90's movies in my opinion (credit to Cinematographer Dean Cundey, Back to the Future, Apollo 13), and a nice story. The romance factor isn't really the central focus of the movie and it may give you an inspiring thought to do a kind deed for a friend or a child. If you want a movie you can escape a bit with, light, have a few laughs and walk out of with a little bit of heart warming feel, go see it. I know a lot of folk may not like this, if you prefer dark, edgy movies, or high action, crude comedies, or tragic stories etc this is not what you are looking for. There is no strong political message or underdog defying huge odds or anything to that effect. This isn't a movie that needs to be deeply analyzed, it's just a simple nice story and maybe it will put a smile on your face at the end like myself. If any of this sounds like it appeals to you please go see this movie. I hope it does well for the main fact that then possibly we may not have to wait another ten years for a movie like this to be made. We may not be the majority but I'm sure there still is an audience for these types of movies.
