Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

I was pleasantly surprised by this film. It is a lovely film with several even 'great' moments. It was not what I expected, and to share too much of the film would be giving away some of the suspense of the plot and story and script, which I don't want to do. That would be unfair. It isn't just a romantic comedy, or just a romantic drama. It touches the heart at moments, it touches emotions. It deals with death, emotions, healing, the heart, love, loneliness, and simple ups and downs. Jennifer Aniston is a solid comedian and a solid actress. I admit I enjoy her films. The rest of the cast is solid as well and surprisingly good. The script is good too.If you want to be surprised, enjoy a little film with your self, your family, your friends - this is a nice film to do it with. Enjoy!

OK first of all I love Jennifer Aniston. But she needs to go back to TV. She's not a character actress. She's a personality that people really like. She could host her own show or at least star in one while playing a character much like Rachel from "Friends". That's what she was good at and we were fine with that. We loved her for it. She won an Emmy for it...I mean, Hello. And if she wants to do movies, they should be much like "The Good Girl" which I thought was brilliantly acted. I hated this movie and how cheaply it was written. I thought Jen looked gorgeous through out the whole thing but It didn't do anything for me. Even the title feels as if they came up with it on the spot and decided to go around filming at stores and concerts and flower shops.

Wait, I got an idea...let's make a movie about this guy who councils people on dealing with death but he himself is the one who really needs help coping. We all can fill in the rest along with it ending happily ever after. Unfortunately i saw an empty movie held up exclusively by a solid cast. The only thing you're going to miss by reading the IMDb storyline and calling it a night is a great cameo from martin sheen. I've liked Marty in other things (particularly Apocalypse Now Redux, a must see) but pulling anything worth while out of this mess seems like a tremendous achievement. The 3 is all for Marty. Dan Fogler is also solid.

I watched this movie on cable in a Thanksgiving morning and almost ruined my day. A real waste of time. If you are looking for a light romantic comedy, this is not a film for you. If you are looking for a witty plot, that's not for you either. If you are looking for basic entertainment, look somewhere else. Underdeveloped characters, lack of chemistry, and, worse, it really makes the audience feel like the director thinks we are stupid. For example, the main character freed up a tropical cockatoo in Seattle - everyone knows it would not survive; second, he proposes a Home Depot (disgusting product placement, I am wondering how much HD paid for that) shopping spree to help curing a father from the loss of his child. Not bad acting from the actor who played the guru, but his actions were corny and unbelievable to me. He had a secret hidden from his audience. If he was really a celebrity, I can't believe that "big secret" (totally predictable) never came to surface before. Oh yes, and I can't get past the idea that his chin looks like his behind. Anniston's character was totally bland and never made a point. Even pretended to be a deaf lady to avoid guys hitting on her - not tasteful at all. She seemed like she was feeling sick the whole movie. Finally, the couple only gets to kiss each other in the last scene of the movie and - amazing - the kiss looked like anything but a kiss between lovers!! Avoid, avoid, avoid!!
