SmugKitZine Tied for the best movie I have ever seen
Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good
Keira Brennan The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
disfrutar75 First things first if you are like me and is going to watch this movie because of amy adams or any other girl in this film don't bother, it's not worth it, you don't even see her that much and her character sucks. If you are not, and still want to watch this movie just watch the trailer everything is in it.I didn't like this movie it was so slow but I just wanted to clear up some things my IMDb fellows said about this film. Like funny scenes, were you high when you watched this movie, because there are none, some funny moment but kind a despite them. Another one said "the situations seems familiar" it's because it's so banal. So of course some scenes will feel like it happened to you, except maybe for the airplane part. So you get to watch people you don't know having a night out without any special moment. This movie is so slow, it's an endless chain of discussion about everything and nothing. There is no point to this picture. The only thing that would have made this movie watchable would have been the presence of Miss Marie Regina FISCHER. She could have helped, at least we would saw her during those endless discussions. You don't even remember the name of the characters at the end. It's a fine representent of a new award the lee kirk academy award. It's what we call in the business a "lee kirk movie" (It's not a good thing)
trajan2448 What a pathetic piece of crap. A bunch of ill mannered, spoiled, infantile overgrown brats collected in a house the night before one of the couple's wedding. Nary a funny or intelligent line to be heard. The real culprit is the awful screenplay. I gave it a 2 because the girls were attractive and it was shot pretty well. Most of the males were repulsively written.If this is representative of contemporary American men I truly sympathize with women and it certainly provides a compelling reason why the Sapphic tribe has welcomed so many new members. WHiney, sullen, inconsiderate, spineless weasels seem to be the order of the day.
Fred David This is great movie with an awesome young cast. There are many good looking, talented, young actors, and they don't disappoint. Amy Adams and Mena Suvari are both excellent. I thought the entire cast was believable and had excellent chemistry. This movie reminded me of The Big Chill, (which I also loved), with an ensemble cast who get together years after college for a wedding. There are many interesting situations, and it is entertaining to see how the characters handle these situations. There are a few surprises, some very funny moments, and drama. It would be easy to over direct a movie like this, but that didn't happen. As a viewer, I was completely engrossed, and couldn't wait to see would develop next. The script always kept moving, and there never was a dull moment. I think this will be a big hit in the theaters.
Michael Minetti Saw this at a film festival in Vegas last year. You've seen the story before, but this ensemble cast does it better than most. From the opening scene, these characters are believable, funny, and very entertaining. I was only familiar with Mena Suvari & James Van Der Beek, but it's the "unknowns" who steal the show (especially Colin Hanks & Jon Abrahams). These guys are good enough to make you forget you're watching a low budget movie. My only gripe is with a dramatic scene at the end which fell a little flat, otherwise a great way to spend 90 minutes. It also doesn't hurt that Lauren German is VERY easy on the eyes. One of my favorite movies of 2005.
