Read the reviews, ie., lower your expectations, and then go see the movie. There's a good chance you'll enjoy it.

There's a good chance you'll enjoy it. Jennifer Anniston is cute and funny, Kevin Costner is too cool for words, and Shirley Maclaine, though dangerously close to self-parody, is a riot. It's a pleasant, formula romantic comedy, but the focus group dropped the ball on the ending. Mark Ruffalo's appearing to be auditioning for a Tennessee Williams role was jarringly ill-fitting, but the ending itself was, though unsatisfying, probably inevitable. All in all a flawed but occasionally very funny movie.… Expand

Enjoyed every minute of it. Perfectly cast throughout with good performances, especially from Shirley Maclaine, Marc Ruffalo, Kevin Costner, and Richard Jenkins.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I quite enjoyed this movie, it isn't the same as some/most romantic comedies in that its not all 'lovey-dovey', its more a case of following Sarah's journey to discover the truth about her family and her father. It is quite funny in parts, I liked the story because I suppose it is quite plausible or it seemed it anyway and the characters were all quite well portrayed and interesting, from Sarah's recently wed sister, who is rather hysterical, to Sarah's quirky grandmother, who is rather sharp witted and has some interesting opinions to married life.

You'll perhaps be glad to know that there's little in the way of sex scenes in this movie, although thats not to say that there are none, just its not as prevelent as you might expect or fear, its really about what happened in the past more than whats going on then, for the most part anyway. I had to wonder about the character of Beau Burroughs, given what we find out about him and what had happened, is this some sort of mythical, fictional character or what? I guess there are people like that out there but I don't know, as much as the movie did seem fairly believeable, there's something about that guy that made me wonder, I suppose!, certainly some family members are less than impressed with him and he is a curious character, being clearly quite wealthy and having some hold on the Huttinger family.

There's something about Jennifer Anistons performance that seemed perhaps a little over the top, although I appreciate that of course its quite an emotional performance that she had to give when playing a character that suddenly realises she has to question her mothers past and potentially who her father is but the amount of time on screen that she gives these intense stares and suchlike, its maybe a little too critical of me but I felt that perhaps it was a bit over the top.

This isn't a movie to take too seriously but its quite entertaining, I like that the story is something different and the characters are quite interesting, so its worth a watch. I don't think I can say much more without giving the plot away really.

Its quite an entertaining movie that I enjoyed, its not too tawdry and its not too boring either, its quite amusing at points with some interesting characters and a curious story, so yes, I would recommend it.… Expand
