Waste of time and money This is the second-half response from Hicuff. This was one of the most disappointing movies I have seen in a very long time. Probably sinks to the level of "Ground Hog Day" for absurdity. I wanted to see a comedy. Instead, I was assaulted by a "family" of rude, inconsiderate ingrates who took an immediate hatred of the Merideth character without any reason provided by the writer or director. The Diane Keaton "mother" character should have been taken out and shot for her immediate dislike of Merideth and the motherly knowledge that her son's marriage to this woman would ultimately end in disaster. All this without knowing anything about her. Where did that come from? All in all, this is a poorly written movie with an ill-conceived plot line. The plot and character development (what little there was) left me wanting so much more. The only plus was that Merideth stuck it out with these ingrates and didn't flee back the the Big Apple. And then she hooks up and stays with the brother? Come on!!! Anyone in their right mind would have taken the first bus, train or automobile out of town as soon as possible. Oh, yes, there was an up side to this misspent afternoon - free popcorn the theater provided.
