Advantages: Paul Rudd was great Disadvantages: Longoria Parker, looked a bit cheap, gags were unfunny, disappointing
...this is very quickly skipped over and now dwelled on at all, even by her fiance who seems to actually make a joke of it. Even the relationship between Henry and Ashley seemed void of any real passion or emotion, and sort of appeared out of nowhere. Because of this, character devlopment in the film was incredibly limited and left us with one-dimensional characters who I ended up not caring about. They really missed a trick here, and this is really ... ...it was very poor, with obvious jokes throughout not really working, even resorting to crude 'fart' jokes (the bane of my existence) and childish humour which just was so unfunny, it was ridiculous.
For a film that could have been quite fresh and entertaining, I found myself pleased when the end credits rolled and not at all satisfied with what I had just seen. I didn't laugh that much, Longoria Parker was very poor in her role and this is certainly ...

Advantages: Eva Longoria Parker Disadvantages: Average, a bit boring
...$10 million and they made over $20 million. It was rated as a 12, this is just because of a few sexual references, which is bound to happen in all chick flicks, so nothing unusual there. It was probably worth the £5.00 it cost to get into the cinema as it was a night out, and watchable, but I wouldn’t buy the DVD. It has a rather forgettable soundtrack, I can’t name one song from it, and this is rather unusual for chick flicks as they normally have ...
