It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

This is a great movie if you're looking for something slower paced, with nothing intense. The whole thing is very funny, and a sweet, lighthearted, romantic comedy. Acting was great, plot was good, a movie that doesn't throw you for any loops or catch you by surprise but is very easy to watch. Great for date night or fun night with girlfriends.

I've seen this a few times now and always really enjoy it. It's not anything special as far as romance movies go so I'm at a loss to explain why I like it so much but I would have to say its one of my favourites.It's one of those tragi-romances, along the lines of 'PS I Love You', surrounding the death of a partner, in this case Jennifer Garner's fiancé.The characters and all their sub stories is what really makes this movie. Amusing, entertaining and at times tragic while still making me smile. The supporting cast is excellent especially Kevin Smith and Juliette Lewis who steal many of the scenes.Jennifer Garner is charming and Timothy Olyphant is the sexy bad boy with a heart. Together the two of them have one of the hottest kissing scenes ever, one of those, starts out angry, no, yes, what are we doing, YES, pause, no, lingering look, I still hate you but now I also want you, kisses. Sexy.The story takes place in Boulder, Colorado -which I liked and follows a woman whose future husband is killed in an accident just days before the wedding. Garner as 'Grey' leans on their mutual friends during the grieving process and then struggles to sort though the surprising secrets she discovers about his past while also falling for his best friend. 5/3/15

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.

This movie is rubbish. My DVD player died close to the end and I couldn't care less. One presumes Gray ended up with that worthless morally defunked piece of crap. What on EARTH could have attracted her to him. Perhaps she thought he was pretty? Fine.But what about the fact that he knew her fiancé had fathered a child... he knew... never said anything and what - she's just fine with it? And she witnessed him having sex only a couple of feet away through a shower curtain at her fiancé's wake? Oh yeah - that makes me want a guy so bad.. hearing him getting it on with another chick.And this is a chick flick is it not? Where were the other chicks? She was entirely surrounded by dudes. The only chicks that materialised briefly, were her former-future-mother-in-law who was a cow and her fiancé's one night stand who was a piece of fluff.This film was just rubbish.I know this is a particularly scathing review - but WHEN WILL Hollywood START PORTRAYING WOMEN IN THE REAL WORLD! Geez!
