  Did not hold my interest
  
  Found this boring. Could not get into it due to the immature American sense of humour. Really tried but had to dump it after 15 mins.

  Feel good factor
  
  Loved it. Great film. The best Jennifer Aniston film to date. A Saturday afternoon film or a rainy day film, definitely a chick flick but a great chick flick
