Simply A Masterpiece

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Blistering performances.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

WHERE DO I START?? *takes a deep breath* i don't know how some people enjoyed this movie,not funny not fun just annoying. first lets talk about darcy, " the villain" who "takes" what other people want we gather that she was always in the spotlight and she always "won" according to our beloved main character rachel, and apparently also very dumb since rachel had to correct her grammar in some occasions, NOBODY cares if you say "him and i" or "him and me" its not like she said " i goed to the party and there was a lot of peoples" . oh my god they tried to make her look so crazy and bad so we can sympathise with her fiancé "dex" cheating on her and her best friend betraying her and let me tell you i did sympathise with them because they (the characters) are so stupid. first of all "Dex" or should we call him "dek",who has a crush on his friend, entered a relationship not to mention PROPOSED to ANOTHER woman he doesn't even like that much. then he proceeded to cheat on her with said crush and have loud intercourse with the fiancé while her best friend is downstairs who IS BY THE WAY HIS CRUSH. still he has the audacity to be jealous that rachel (his crush) is with another man i mean?? why would you put yourself through all of that? i know were CLEARLY supposed to hate darcy and root for rachel but rachel makes it hard for me, she's so unlikable i mean yes i guess she's nice but its kind of part of her problem,she's a complete pushover and does nothing to help herself for example: she quietly puts up with her friend that bosses her around all the time,well honey you can have a conversation with her or cut it off ,there problem solved.she could've avoided this whole situation by telling her friend she likes this guy. she is so weak and thinks if she just stands there doing nothing and "suffering" she's gonna someday god knows when be satisfied and happy lets not forget they're all 30 ( i think) full grown adults i mean haven't you guys matured but at all since you were 14? AND WHATS THE POINT OF ETHAN SUDDENLY HAVING A CRUSH ON HER? but at least the actor who plays kev in shameless was in this movie

This was a thoughtful evocative movie. I thought it was psychologically correct - there are people like Darcy (narcissistic, selfish and fragile) and also people who, like Rachel, put others' needs before their own. Both characters appear to be protecting their fragile egos, the only way they know how. Their methods differ but they seem to need each other. Rachel's realization that she needed to 'step up' and say, and do, what she wanted showed growth and maturity. I note that many reviewers highlight the 'unpunished' infidelity as a reason to dislike the movie. In my humble opinion I thought that this is what made it more realistic. Realism, however, is not what makes a great movie. It is more likely the ability to identify with the characters and whether they effectively tell our stories. Nonetheless, when the movie is very realistic it may evoke a defensive reaction in the viewer. This movie appeared to have that ability given some of the reviews I have read. Darcy had been unfaithful to Rachel for many years by pursuing her suitors. Rachel was unfaithful to herself and then to her friend Darcy by having sex with Dex, Darcy's fiancé. Dex was unfaithful to Darcy and to Rachel. Ethan was the only faithful, truthful character...and he ended up alone. Yeah, it's not moralistic this film. It presents us as we truly are...complicated, flawed, vulnerable. I'm going to watch it again.

Considering the score I was expecting at least an average romantic comedy. They are so good to watch because they make you feel good even when you know that happy ending is coming so sure as tomorrow. But this movie still made me wonder, why on earth did I waste so much time to see it. The disappointment grew as the end drew nearer. In my opinion it is mentally humiliating to watch a movie when the main character makes every effort so that she would remain single, at the same time considered to be an intelligent woman, and wanting this man so badly. She seems to be ignorant understanding the meaning and consequence of her words. Lets don't forget that she studied to be a lawyer. In the end she comes to her senses again. But not completely. The leading man character on the other hand lets to be dragged along. His actions would in the normal life almost with no fail suggest that he will remain this guy who marries his current girlfriend just because she wants it and because this is convenient. And also with a pretty good reason - the leading woman character had long ago removed all the suspicion that she could be interested in him. I will rest my case.

Rachel (Ginnifer Goodwin) and Darcy (Kate Hudson) are life long friends. Dex (Colin Egglesfield) was Rachel's college friend when Darcy budded in. Now Darcy and Dex are about to get married. But Rachel still has feelings for Dex and they sleep together.This movie has 2 problems and 1 great positive.Colin Egglesfield is a horribly bland lead. It's unbelievable that two great girls are battling over him. John Krasinski is an infinitely better lead. There are countless others that would be a vast improvement. Although Krasinski and Ashley Williams have some funny jokes.Second problem is that Rachel jumped into bed with Dex so early. It puts her in a moral deficit right off the bat. It makes rooting for her next to impossible.The one great positive is Ginnifer Goodwin. She pulls off the impossible by being such a sweetheart. I can't help but root for her no matter what. I don't think the movie people actually questioned the premise. At least, they could have given GG the moral high grounds.
