How sad is this?

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

As I watched this movie, I kept thinking, maybe something will happen....I was wrong. This movie was not interesting at all (unless you have a really elementary sense of humour). And at the end, we are at the same place as at the beginning. The main character chases down all of his old girlfriends to find out why they broke up so that he can use this advice on a date with the love of his life who is moving away. The advice doesn't work. And it ends like that, very anticlimactically. There is no character development throughout the story, and all of the characters are very one-dimensional. Some people find that funny, but I personally don't.

Only die hard Lauren Graham fans have the courage to watch this movie! My advice is... take lots o'coffee 'cause this movie is SO boring you will sleep all through it! It's about a guy who finds out his best friend (Abbey) is leaving town and the her figures she is the great love of his life, so in order to get her, he goes after all his old girlfriends to ask them what was his problem so that he can fix and be a better man to sweep Abbey off her feet. The story is interesting, but it's so badly directed that it becomes a huge nightmare! Sooo annoying! There are so many useless close ups! And nothing happens! It's all out of order, the time-line is all screwed and sometimes it just doesn't make any sense at all!! And in the middle of nothing they still think they can find some space to insert some family problems.. it's got nothing to do with nothing! Also, the actors, (exept for Lauren) are all to old to be believable! Argh!!

I had a chance to see a sneak of this film and I found it very funny and quirky. Harland Williams is hilarious in this movie playing the sidekick. His deadpan looks are classic and plays a "loser" to perfection. Lauren Graham, as always, is funny, lovable and adorable as the girl next door. I particularly enjoyed the soundtrack which had a very eclectic mix of new and old school tunes ranging from The Nails, "88 Lines About 44 Women" to Badly Drawn Boy's, "The Shinning." Many of the actors, although some only appearing for one scene were great, especially Debra Jo Rupp (That 70's Show) who plays the leads's Mother. She is the most talented of the group here and portrays the dysfunctional mom so matter-of-fact, it's sad and funny. Check this little gem out.

I saw this film because of Lauren Graham. She was adorable in the movie. The lead guy played off of her well in a kind of "Aw, shucks." kind of way.The script could have used a fuller body, but I thought the actors (a ton of television actor cameos) did well with what they were given. The child actors were sweet. Some of the girlfriends bordered on mentally unstable though.I would have added to the ending, it sort of ended abruptly. I would have liked to see a scene that didn't echo his fantasy, but contained more realism. A harmless romantic comedy. Obviously no one thought it was Oscar material after leaving it on the shelf for five years. I give it a B.
