Don't listen to the negative reviews

Absolutely Fantastic

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Watched it. Hated it. Had to reset my password from years of inactivity just to write this Premise to the film was solid. Katherine Heigl is hit and miss with me, and this movie was a big miss. Alexis Bledel always great and was no exception in this film. I was fully aware I was watching a movie the entire time I stayed awake. I found that Katherine and Alexis were mismatched for these roles. I wouldn't waste your time in watching this film.

Katherine Heigl tries to stretch her acting muscles playing Jenny a lawyer who is openly gay, living with her female partner (Kitty) for some years but has pretended to be straight to her conservative family and passed her partner off as a roommate. At various functions people ask Jenny about boyfriends and she coyly answers about never meeting the right man.When Jenny announces she plans to marry Kitty, her parents and sister freak out along with many people in the neighbourhood. Jenny feels isolated and even disowned by her parents.The film has noble instincts but it is vacuous and dull. There is little hint of a genuine, loving relationship of any kind between Jenny and Kitty. The character of Jenny's sister is irritating going on about how it is always about Jenny seeking attention although there is a subplot where the sister faces the shortcomings in her own heterosexual marriage.Thew film's sentiments just feel dated and many of the character are just insufferable.

I thought the movie would have been better than this. They were promoting it so well, but overall it was just that bad. At the start, I was really hoping it was good and I related to the air tension in keeping this a secret, but it spiraled down when the star couple showed up.Let me tell you this: Jenny and Kitty had a pretend relationship.That was what I felt from the first moment I saw them together and that's how I felt through all of the movie. They weren't right together, at all. First off? You don't freaking leave your significant other when she's off to do something important. You stick TOGETHER. If you're in the god damn forest with your partner and you're surrounded by wolves, you don't freaking run, you bish.Second of all, when you know your partner blew up about something embarrassing around a bunch of people and it includes you, you don't just cuddle with her to make her feel better, you gosh darn talk about how inappropriate about that. Wtf, girl, are you just some kind of rug to step on? Wtf.I don't even want to mention the part where they were trying out dresses. The only thing I actually liked about this movie was Jenny's sister's story, because THAT made me feel more for the girl than for any other character blabbing around willy-nilly.

Despite being made in an romantic away, this film shows with some accuracy how a daughter of a working class family manages her coming out with the problems that may occur in the her family. Although I am not a puritan, this film shows a gay relationship without any sex scene, stranger friends of the couple or tattoos, proving that there is not any shame if it happens in our own family. What I want to say is that is possible to make a film about one women coming out without use the normal "clichés" that are associate with this kind o films. Good performance of Katherine Heigl and Tom Wilkinson. Must see.
