  Best chick flick this year bar sex and the city

  A reasonable film, a lot like its original of 1939, not one man is seen through the film. Good in parts and a feel good for women who are unsure of themselves ... read more »

  Amusing little film
  
  I love Debra Messing and in this film she did not disappoint. However I am not a fan of Meg Ryan and in this she did not deliver as far as I am concerned.read more »

  Not a comedy
  
  Very disappointing. Not at all funny. Can't believe such a good cast can be so dull. Bette Midler was the only character who almost made me laugh.
