Beautiful, moving film.

A brilliant film that helped define a genre

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

This is such a schlock movie, irritating, simplistic & so formulaic. I can not watch it all. Characters are predictable, whiny, annoying & pathetic. When things are so predictable, humour is gone & irritation takes over. Who is responsible for this torture?

Lori Madison (Amber Benson) is 29 and going nowhere. She's a bad telemarketer in NYC and dating photographer Michael. She quits her job. He tries to propose to her but she goes home to Colorado instead. Her mother (Julia Duffy) is flaky and her brother Will (Haig Sutherland) is the loser. Her sister Jewel (Loretta Walsh) is a busy housewife. She finds a childhood list of seven things to do before she turns 30 in her old room. The last on the list is to marry old boyfriend Dan Hart (John Reardon). It's a month before her birthday.It's a badly made light weight movie. The writing is pretty weak. The production is lower rate. There is nothing to like other than the likable Amber Benson. She's great but everything else is pretty bad.

The entire plot is ridiculous and extremely boring. You might just pass out from boredom, which is so much better than having to sit through this movie.What's worse is that all the characters have boring personality types and can't act to begin with. This is one of those movies where you keep telling yourself that the movie might suddenly take a turn and get better but it never does. It stays as cliché and extremely cheesy threw the whole movie.Also, when I'm trying to hear the characters speak in the movie, all I hear is the worst music blasting threw their cheesy dialogue. Really? Am I watching a music video or a movie? I shouldn't have expected anything good about this movie mostly because it is the kind of movie on the channel you never watch that plays late at night so no one sees it.It's just a waste of space and disgrace to what a real good movie should be.I hated the movie so much and had to even ask what was the title of the movie a million times just to write a bad review.

Funny, light and heart-warming. Why wasn't it better marketed? I watched it with a friend who is turning 30 (that's why we watched it) and we both found it very enjoyable. Slow to start and hard to stand the main character to begin with but picks up quickly before you have a chance to find the remote. We loved the actors, they all did a comedic but believable performance. The main characters did such a great job we didn't notice how low a budget this TV-movie had (except for the skydiving scene). Loved the mom. Pleasantly surprised at this movie indeed! Made both of us think about writing up a list of our own to finish. If only there are more nice guys like there are in the movie in real life. It's a shame this isn't widely known, if you want to unwind with a feel-good movie and be entertained, why not give this one a shot.
