disgusting, overrated, pointless

There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

A romantic comedy a bit difficult to believe but with good acting and a strong song score. Jennifer Garner and Tim Olyphant were particularly strong in their roles.

This movie would've liked to have been described as light, funny, touching, and romantic. Instead it's mostly just maudlin and when it's not that it's just forgettable. Jennifer Garner, as earnest and cloying as ever, plays a young woman whose fiancée has just died. Over the course of the film, she paints some walls, pouts, and, this being a romantic comedy, naturally falls in love with one of her dead fiancée's friends (Timothy Olyphant), who for some reason decided to move in with Garner and her friends even though he has a giant beach house in Malibu. She also has to contend with the disappointing revelation that her cherished fiancée may have fathered a child while they were together.As you might be able to discern from the above brief plot description, not much happens in this film. The crux of the film should have been the burgeoning romance between Garner and Olyphant but the two have little to no chemistry and neither has much in the way of screen presence. The film does have some nice visuals of Colorado (or is it Canadian?) scenery. The characters that populate this film being residents of some lush, mountainous utopic part of Colorado are outdoorsy types - they drive Subarus, build memorial peace gardens, fish, and are psychically fit (except Kevin Smith, whose obesity was probably intended to further his character's kookiness, a very important trait in friends of romantic comedy lead characters). But why care about them? The film doesn't give us any real reason to.

I've gotten used to Jennifer Garner carrying mediocre movies on her back. I was not surprised that she did it again here. It's not that this movie is bad, it just feels very uninspired, and I was left feeling very cold after it was over. For a woman going through such a traumatic ordeal, you'd think most of the characters would be likable. That is far from the case with this movie. The relationships in this movie are done so haphazardly that it's hard to care for their fates. The main love story here is Jennifer Garner & Timothy Olyphant. It's one of the laziest written love stories I've ever seen. We're supposed to believe these two are falling for each other? Two pots of wilted flowers could have more love. It also has very poor comedic relief from the annoying Kevin Smith. This guy can be a talented director, but he plays a fat slob here, and I don't think that's stretching it too much for him. Jennifer Garner is cute, and very solid in the lead role, which isn't a surprise. She comes across a bit cold at times, but she's winning for the most part. Timothy Olyphant is OK as the love interest, but he just felt there to me. He shows off a smug grin, and tries to be all charming to no avail. Juliette Lewis is fine in her role. I don't really have anything left to say about this movie. It's never boring, but the half-assed relationships, and the lack of romance really hinders this one5/10

Gray has a problem: a day meant for joy has become a day of grief, as her wedding day has been transformed into a wake for her fiancé, Grady, and all of her guests are now attempting to comfort her instead of congratulating them both. Trying to pick up the pieces of her shattered life, Gray moves in with friends to help her deal with the loss. But in the aftermath of Grady's death, little details of big secrets begin to emerge, and Gray is faced with not only her ex-future mother-in-law, but also a woman named Maureen, a woman who claims that she is the mother of Grady's child. With the help of her friends, Gray will learn about the man she was going to marry while also discovering who she truly is. A most moving "coming to terms" movie, this film will touch your heart and remind us that a man is defined by who is in remembrance by those who loved him, not by the secrets he may have kept.
