Featured review
Despite getting bad reviews, this movie was truly enjoyable and laugh out loud funny. Of course the critics didn't like it, but that's only because it was formulaic of its genre and caters to mainly a female crowd. I would totally recommend this film to mothers and daughters who like cheesy romance flicks. The humor will have you in stitches and you'll find it was worth the price of a ticket.
Diane Keaton is hilarious and not afraid to be a complete dork on screen. Critics had a lot of complaints about her performance, but throughout the whole thing, all I could think of was how much she reminded me of my own mother. Mandy Moore was sweet as always, painting a perfect picture of a 20-something looking for love. Lauren Graham's Maggie was an excellent "conscience" character for Keaton and Moore. Not sure why they had a 3rd sister, as Piper Perabo had few lines and didn't seem to contribute much to the film. Gabriel Macht was adorable and such an "every guy" that it didn't make the film over the top. Yes, his character's personality was too good to be true, but thankfully he is attractive more in the boy-next-door sense, than some magazine cover boy.
One note though - there is definitely a lot of sex talk, so unless you want to do some explaining later, leave the younger ones at home.
