- I don’t know where the hell I read it, but I’d heard that there was some sort of twist in this movie that released it from the confines of being a standard romantic comedy. Wrong. Very predictable from start to finish, my friends.
- That said, James Marsden finally gets the effing girl and it’s about time. How his characters keep getting the short end of the stick in movies, I’ll never know.
- Speaking of which, he’s a very good leading man, I think. He’s adorable in general but he’s also got really good comic timing and if he made more movies like this, I wouldn’t completely hate it. He also had an opportunity to sing high-pitched in this, which was amusing and endearing. I am a fan.
- I kept expecting Ed Burns’ character to be revelaed as a total asshole but he never was, at least not in your typical “he’s an asshole and you’re better off without him” rom-com way. This must be new and different for him, since he frequently seems to be a total prick in movies.
- LOVED the goth wedding, oh my god.
- I was unable to suspend my disbelief that vapid and awful Tess would undergo that extreme of a character change. I know that what Jane did to her to spark such change was really extreme and so maybe the change should be just as extreme, but I’m not really buying it. Tess was just too fundamentally annoying and terrible through 90% of the movie that I couldn’t deal with it. I wouldn’t have been unhappy to see Cameron Diaz in the role, to be honest.
- Melora Hardin played James Marsden’s boss in this and every time she came on screen I couldn’t help but say “Jan Levinson-Gould…. no Gould.”
