  Better than your average Rom/Com
  
  Good film with more meaning than your average romantic comedy. Take the tissues!

  Slow chick flick
  
  Chick flick. Jennifer Aniston is always a good watch. Chemistry is not as good as some of her films but ok for a girly night in. A little slow in places.

  Touching drama with romance, hope and overcoming deep grief. No run of the mill Rom-Com here!!
  
  Firstly this is not a Rom-Com! I know it has the pink fluffy cover and Jennifer Aniston in it but don't let that fool you.
  
  The film had a sad ... read more »

  It's standard fare in the rom/comedy genre
  
  It's an unexceptionable romantic comedy with some touching moments. In this genre , it's way down the list. But let's hope they keep on making them... read more »

  Slow, Boring and predictable.... Yawn!
  
  Don't waste your time. I like Chick Flicks but this is just awful. Turned it off after an hour wondering why I had added it to my Film list!
