You won't be disappointed!
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
The movie really just wants to entertain people.
This alleged comedy-drama-romance movie has Drew Barrymore playing a pregnant Sally Jackson, who falls for Dorian Montier (Luke Wilson), the stepson of the unborn baby's deceased father. Realizing the infidelity, the deceased man's wife, Beatrice Lever (Catherine O'Hara), sends her sons Angus (Jake Bussey) and Dorian to scare him up a bit, indirectly leading to him succumbing to a heart attack. Things get a little out of hand when Sally is mixed in with the chaotic mess.The story is as ridiculous as it sounds and the tasteless plot is only exacerbated by the awful and moronic acting. There is really nothing interesting about this film, except that Barrymore attempts to have a good portrayal of her character. It's OK to pass on this one. Grade D--
I loved this movie...It was so hilarious but border lined on the absolutely absurd...but it REALLY kept me laughing after the initial beginning of the movie, which I found to be a bit upsetting...Luke Perry & Drew Barrymore are absolutely superb together...Daryl Mitchell was superb & authentic in his part as the over- achieving, forever grilling, instructor of burger making...hamburger person...the funeral scene was bordering on the totally ridiculous...overall this movie just kept me in complete 'stitches'...Catherine O'Hara really comes through as the comedic super-giant that she truly is...the background music was well placed & well selected...overall, an extremely entertaining movie...that's what movie making should be all about after all...
I only noted "spoilers" to protect myself in case someone sees a spoiler that I don't intend. Anyhoo, I loved this movie. Quirky and off the wall, a bit of a comedic thriller. But enchanting in an odd ball way. I forget movies easily, even if I liked them. But this one stuck with me over the years. I've watched it more than once and would do so again. Just the wonderful scene where Drew looks at Luke with total sweetness and trust and all smiles is worth seeing for it's charm--but you, the viewer, know the back story and secrets. Whatever will she say or do when she finds out? Or will she find out. This movie is so under rated. Not for small children, who would be bored, but I think any age can enjoy it. On a certain level, it is clean and moral but the trip along the way isn't. Worth seeing.
This movie with Luke Wilson (brother of Owen Wilson) & Drew Barrymore is very enjoyable. While it was promoted as a Romantic Comedy, it should be noted that this has a darker comedic theme with some action sequences. If you were looking for a Meg Ryan/Tom Hanks movie, reset your expectations and rent this one anyways. It is a very enjoyable, fun movie.
