Gray Matters
Sam and Gray are such a well-matched pair that it is difficult to believe they are brother and sister rather than husband and wife. They both share a love of 1940s movies and dancing, and when they meet Charlie, they have something else in common: They both fall in love with her. Sam must deal with unexpected feelings of jealousy, while Gray struggles to come to terms with her sexual orientation.

Memorable, crazy movie
A Major Disappointment
While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
The first half of the movie feels so rushed. Not just the single scenes that try to tell you want the movie is about and how close the two siblings are, but also the first half of the story feels just like a means to an end. The whole need to find love and the wedding after one week, just to build on to the second half, the coming out story, which seems like it was supposed to be the 'main' story, but falls short too, because the movie isn't that long, and doesn't seem to have enough time to tell everything it wants to.The story itself could have been really good. Because its more about the coming out, and doesn't end with the two girls having their happy end at some beach in Barcelona. But I think it should have started with her falling in love with her brothers wife and skip the whole part where she finds a woman for him. The closeness between Grey and Sam and how Sam and Charlie got together isn't even that important later on in the movie. And the saved time from the beginning of the movie, could have been added to the second half. To make it the main part and make it better. So in the end, the movie was funny enough to watch, but not really believable or compelling for the viewer and therefore not that great.
Heather Graham is Gray and Thomas Cavanagh is Sam. The movie opens with them dancing together, clearly enjoying themselves. Then we see them at their apartment, a cute couple. But an odd couple, they are sister and brother, maybe even twins, we are never told. All we know is when Sam answers someone that they had known each other for 30 years.Bridget Moynahan is Charlie who becomes a romantic interest. I didn't particularly like Molly Shannon as co-worker Carrie, but I just don't like Molly Shannon. I really enjoyed Alan Cumming as the Scottish cab driver Gordy who falls for Gray. And, in a small role Sissy Spacek was effective as a therapist who holds her sessions in unusual places with Gray, a rock-climbing wall, for example.A cute movie for the actors but the story isn't particularly great.MAJOR SPOILERS are contained in the rest of my comments. When Sam meets Charlie they quickly fall in love, and plan to get married that weekend in LV, much to the horror of Gray. But forced to go along, Gray and Charlie have a night out, with much alcohol, and Gray and Charlie end up kissing passionately. Gray finds herself attracted to her brother's bride, and in the process fully realizes why she has not had a relationship with a guy -- she is gay! All this causes a falling out between Sam and Gray, but in the end they mend everything. Because, to Sam and Charlie, Gray matters!
Wow probable the worst movie i have ever seen!! This person should never make another movie!!I cant believe anyone would have produce this in good conscience.YOu have have wasted every cent. No concept of real life. I have wasted 2 hours of my life i will never get back. EVER!!! Everyone who worked on this show should be embarrassed!!!!!! I'm embarrassed for them! All of you should be ashamed. If i was gay i would want to tell the director that they have personally set back gay rights progress by 5 years. Please never watch this movie.I have never written a blogg about a film before but The distaste for this film has compelled me to do so.
After a promising first 25 minutes that makes you feel all warm inside, you're pretty convinced that this will be a great romantic comedy. Then the movie takes a turn for the worse. The warm feeling might still be there, but as others has said: The plot becomes so unbelievable and artificial that it's almost unbearable to watch. The movie gets sped up, and you get the impression that you're either fast forwarding through it, or that the producers decided to fit it in less than 1h40m and had to cut a lot of scenes out.Realism isn't a goal onto itself, but as a viewer, I'm pretty convinced that this comedy isn't intentionally unrealistic, it just happens to be.On the plus side, this movie has a couple of nice interiors, and despite the bad script, I think that the actors performances are mainly good. If I could rate the first 25 minutes only, I'd probably give it an eight. As it is now, it gets a four. ...And that's being nice! If you're a sucker for romantic comedies you'll probably have a great time anyways. If not, I'd recommend that you watch something else.
