Load of rubbish!!

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

This movie can be viewed as a shallow characterisation of stereotypical women (and men); but actually they only have so much time dealing with a lot of characters so I think it's understandable, and I also think the movie has a point- and the point is: Life and relationships are complex. Everyone is different, one woman/ man is different from every other and so no relationship can have a set rule or follow a pattern exactly. Perhaps lots follow a pattern for one reason or another, but they are all unique really. Many women (for example) are brought up believing their life and the relationship they find will go a certain way (house, marriage, kids etc), so they may try to influence that outcome if they find themselves in a promising relationship, because they think it's what they want or it is what they want, but unfortunately life is challenging, relationships must always be evolving and not all relationships are bound close enough to last. It may come down to asking, how well do you know your partner and what your partner wants now. The point of the movie, I think, is that relationships should be allowed to happen organically, from true interest and natural attraction, and, as they grow, emotional honesty is the best policy. These days it seems this route is the exception. But it should be the rule.

I was not expecting too much going into this movie other than to pass time, but it was actually great! Many successful actors/actresses play in this film. Very "feel-good" flick that won't disappoint!

I couldn't say how realistic a movie about relationships is, that is casted with some of the most attractive actors in the show business, but that may even be a minor reason to enjoy this film. Based on serious story lines around a wedding, the viewer is carried through different emotions of singles, who are all looking for the right partner in their lives or couples questioning their existing relations and marriages. The way the film is made it offers a lot of possibilities to feel empathy with the protagonists, but you also want to pick one that you would fall in love with yourself. I ended up crying like a baby with my breath getting out of control. I'm sure the ladies will love this even more. Hollywood cinema in the best sense.

I generally like these types of movies with interconnected stories and a whose-who cast although I have seen better in "Valentines Day" and "Love Actually."Decent ensemble here but most of the women are freakin nuts and I found them frustrating to watch especially Ginnifer Goodwin, sitting by the phone, making desperate excuses for loser men. When did the purpose of life become solely about finding a man? This is the message that Sex & The City puts out there too, Why? Jennifer Connelly was also painful, as a control freak with a cheating husband (Bradley Cooper). -I'd cheat with Scarlett Johansson too though. Justin Long seemed miscast as the womanizing bartender and would have done better if he'd exchanged roles with Kevin Connelly, the needy real estate agent. Ben Affleck has a smaller role, playing the commitment-phobe good guy and Jennifer Aniston goes about her usual "Rachelness" managing to look fantastic in a pair of jeans but still be a big loser where love is concerned. Enjoyed the story arc at the wedding with her father (Kris Kristopherson) 02.27.14
