    [Highly rated reviewer]

    A guy tries to steal his brother's girlfriend, whilst all his family is having a get together. Hmm, lovely! Tries to be cute about it, whilst ticking off all the boxes of what a 'cute' film should do, but there's naer a good performance to be seen and the whole thing just made me feel genuinely uncomfortable.

  • Guy steals brother's girlfriend at happy family party - avoid

    Rated - 0.5 stars

    signposted plotting, underhand and duplicitous whilst being cloyingly sweet and unbelievable - painful rubbish that leaves a bad taste in the mouth

    Skip to the last sentence if you don't want to hear a man rant.

    I didn't even rent this, I just stumbled across it being suggested to me by this site, yet having seen it in the past, I felt compelled to warn people off it.

    The worst example of aggravatingly twee, predictable, safe, dreadfully middle of the road schlock. This film exhibits all the hallmarks of hollywood clamouring to appease the wider market, whilst at the same time making more of the same stuff you've seen time and again.

    I'm a fan of steve carrell in the office, but not this film. If you liked 40 year old virgin, then you'll probably enjoy this. There are plenty of fantastic comedies which are original and engaging whilst remaining light and not too challenging (if that's what you're after), Best in Show being one example.

    One word... Why?

  • DAN SO BORING ZZZZZ

    Rated - 1.0 star

    This film is so disappointing. Not funny , not dramatic, not anything. Juliette Binoche is the only likeable character. Dan isnt likeable sorry Steve. We endured it until the end but were considering switching off halfway through. I would say avoid honestly.

  • Thoroughly engrossed!

    Rated - 5.0 stars

    An absolute delight! Loved the characters. Cried and then laughed. Cringed in a family gathering type of way and wished I that I was part of a family like this one. Would recommend.

    I thought this film was very good and very funny too. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to have a bit of giggle about love etc. I really enjoyed it
