I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

This movie would've liked to have been described as light, funny, touching, and romantic. Instead it's mostly just maudlin and when it's not that it's just forgettable. Jennifer Garner, as earnest and cloying as ever, plays a young woman whose fiancée has just died. Over the course of the film, she paints some walls, pouts, and, this being a romantic comedy, naturally falls in love with one of her dead fiancée's friends (Timothy Olyphant), who for some reason decided to move in with Garner and her friends even though he has a giant beach house in Malibu. She also has to contend with the disappointing revelation that her cherished fiancée may have fathered a child while they were together.As you might be able to discern from the above brief plot description, not much happens in this film. The crux of the film should have been the burgeoning romance between Garner and Olyphant but the two have little to no chemistry and neither has much in the way of screen presence. The film does have some nice visuals of Colorado (or is it Canadian?) scenery. The characters that populate this film being residents of some lush, mountainous utopic part of Colorado are outdoorsy types - they drive Subarus, build memorial peace gardens, fish, and are psychically fit (except Kevin Smith, whose obesity was probably intended to further his character's kookiness, a very important trait in friends of romantic comedy lead characters). But why care about them? The film doesn't give us any real reason to.

I've seen this a few times now and always really enjoy it. It's not anything special as far as romance movies go so I'm at a loss to explain why I like it so much but I would have to say its one of my favourites.It's one of those tragi-romances, along the lines of 'PS I Love You', surrounding the death of a partner, in this case Jennifer Garner's fiancé.The characters and all their sub stories is what really makes this movie. Amusing, entertaining and at times tragic while still making me smile. The supporting cast is excellent especially Kevin Smith and Juliette Lewis who steal many of the scenes.Jennifer Garner is charming and Timothy Olyphant is the sexy bad boy with a heart. Together the two of them have one of the hottest kissing scenes ever, one of those, starts out angry, no, yes, what are we doing, YES, pause, no, lingering look, I still hate you but now I also want you, kisses. Sexy.The story takes place in Boulder, Colorado -which I liked and follows a woman whose future husband is killed in an accident just days before the wedding. Garner as 'Grey' leans on their mutual friends during the grieving process and then struggles to sort though the surprising secrets she discovers about his past while also falling for his best friend. 5/3/15

if you have ever lost someone you care about then this movie is for you. in the past two years i have lost three friends, one who died hours before his wedding. this is my first time writing a review and i have to say this movie touched my heart. i was in tears at the end, and then death cab for cutie's "soul meets body" came on. i cried. and i stood and opened my arms to the sky. this movie helped remind me that i am still here on this planet earth and i should give thanks for that. it reminded me to live each day to the fullest and to love unconditionally. i recommend this movie to all that have loved and lost-- bless.

To tell the truth i just have gotten finished with this movie like 20 seconds ago and i got on IMDb to see what people actually thought about this movie. I only really watched it to make my woman content with my being but in reality, i shouldn't of. This was an awful awful movie with no moral direction in any way whatsoever. I cant come home to my kids telling them i saw the most compelling movie that will kick my drug and instinct challenges away. Jennifer is a really feeble minded woman who doesn't fully understand that; love is another word for sex with friend every night while I'm sleeping on my dead fiancés couch 2 days later. Her acting actually was horrific, on the first kiss, was i the only person that noticed that she was smiling before she kissed him and when they gave her the close up she tried that robot face again? Kevin should be ashamed, Silent bob is his calling. There is a difference between good acting and overacting, and for loosing his best friend, he was doing neither. I hope this ruins his career as actor. I honestly believed that the movie would end as her falling for that one guy whatever his name is, but nope, she just... shes a trooper. I cant believe this is my gf favorite movie -_- i have no hope for humanity in the arts anymore
