I did enjoy it; nevertheless, I understand why some people wouldn't. I am myself not into flick chick's stuff, even though I am a girl myself...but there is something about this movie that kept me watching it... I found it engaging, and easy.I did enjoy it; nevertheless, I understand why some people wouldn't. I am myself not into flick chick's stuff, even though I am a girl myself...but there is something about this movie that kept me watching it... I found it engaging, and easy. They used the typical antagonistic stereotypes of the 'crazy, popular girl' and the 'cute, smart, shy girl'. Darcey (Kate Hudson)was a bit too much for me. Her character is utterly egocentric , loud, cheap, and shallow; at times, however, she shows this loving side with Rachel..(Ginnifer Goodwin). On the other hand, Rachel is soothing, sweet, quiet , conservative, noble and at times frail..she is doing something is not considered 'ethical' and she knows it, but wouldn't her choice- mo matter what that is- hurt someone anyway?. Dex can be frustrating because he appears to be weak and indecisive, yet none of them is 'bad' or 'good' they are just real people facing a big emotional issue and in this case, either if something is done about it or not, they know someone will get hurt. I guess you have to watch this movie taking as it is : a simple, romantic story, with fairly stereotyped characters, and not overly witty. Don't expect a moral lesson, or ethics, because a movie is not meant to teach that, and don't we have all different perspectives about how to deal with things?. You may question the values of the characters of this movie...but remember it is not real life (although, situations like this definitely happen in life...who are we to judge?). Finally, be ready for a bit of that 'corney' stuff that most of romantic American comedies are filled with. Personally, I wouldn't label this as a 'comedy'. I think you will have a good time watching it, if you lower your expectations a bit... and do not expect great rhetoric, moral lessons or philosophical treatises...( I love them, but I do not expect them on this kind of films)… Expand

The work of the lead trio keeps the movie from ever becoming something blue.

I don't know what all the negative vibe for this film is for. I'm a 18 years old man and I enjoyed this movie. I work at a movie theatre and I took my mom to see this for mother's day and i thoroughly enjoyed it. If you absolutely hate loveI don't know what all the negative vibe for this film is for. I'm a 18 years old man and I enjoyed this movie. I work at a movie theatre and I took my mom to see this for mother's day and i thoroughly enjoyed it. If you absolutely hate love movies with romanticism and drama then maybe not the movie for you but if you can deal with it a little bit, it is worth seeing, this movie was funny, dramatic, and exciting. I thought some of the acting was a little bad and the writing could've been better but overall a 7/10 for me, this was a good enjoyable film, if you get a chance to see it before it leaves the theatres then its worth a watch, if not, order it on demand or red box it because it is worth your time.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. i feel depressed after watching this. What about Ethan? Why did she end up with a spineless a-hole. I admit Dex is not the devil but he made his choice. Rachel just picked up her best friends leftovers. Ew! Sloppy seconds!… Expand

PLEASE READ ME! This is a great adult rom/com. If you are not mature enough to understand this movie then you will probably give it a bad review which a lot of you have. The break down is Darcy: "borrowed" the love of Rachel's life one nightPLEASE READ ME! This is a great adult rom/com. If you are not mature enough to understand this movie then you will probably give it a bad review which a lot of you have. The break down is Darcy: "borrowed" the love of Rachel's life one night while Rachel was on a date with him (Dex) in college, Dex: thought Rachel wasn't interested & that she had set him up with Darcy, Rachel: the weak, no voice, never stand up to Darcy, best friend that she was walked away that night because she ALWAYS let Darcy win... Darcy was SUPPOSED TO BE the best friend, she knew Rachel had feelings for him, she knew they were on date, but did she care no, not at all, & that had been the story of their friendship since day 1. The day of Rachel's birthday she was blowing up Rachel's phone at 7:30am because she needed something and when she no longer needed her she hung up promising she would call her right back but did she? No, Dex called at 9:30pm & Darcy took the phone, he even had to remind her to tell Rachel happy birthday... So to those of you saying Rachel "stole" her best friends fiance, you are just too immature to see the bigger moral picture of the story. Rachel finally stood up for herself & took what was hers to begin with, Dex. I absolutely LOVE this movie. I watch it at least once a month. I am planning on reading the books & I can't wait for part 2 to come out Something Blue, where Darcy ends up with....ETHAN!!!… Expand
