Incredibly slow moving; I almost turned it off mid way. What I did like about it was the interaction Sarah had with her sisters and her father. Other than that, it is low on plot and they could have finished the movie in about 45 minutes. Great actors, poor movie.

This is a predictable, yet still mostly clever, romantic comedy. The heroine is recently divorced and not quite ready to admit she wants to start dating. Her meddlesome family is fairly endearing, the scenes with the losers they set her up with are mostly comical, and we do start to root for the romance to blossom. But it unravels a bit near the end. We know she's going to go back to the hero and the delays seem forced, almost like they had leftover dating scenes from the beginning that they didn't want to waste. The final mad dash at the end, when a simple phone call would have sufficed, was ridiculous. And the moment she jumped in the water, the movie lost most of its credibility.
Overall, a light movie good for some laughs, but it probably wouldn't hold up to much repeat viewing.

May 11, 2008 |  | I am so sick of movies like this! |  |
I am so tired of movies where the entire plot seems to revolve around sex. In this case how long its been since the main character had it, how much her siblings encourage her to get it from anyone, how much can the guys get and how many girls can they get it from, etc. This entire movie was like this from start to finish. I didn't even care that the girl ended up with her guy at the end.
February 2, 2008This one has all the ingredients for a decent girl movie. All the right stars, the predictable story. Sadly it falls short. It was entertaining enough mainly because of a stellar cast. But the story was same old same old and I really didn't find myself getting behind any of the characters. There are some nice moments, but just not enough to sustain this attempt at a romantic comedy.
