C'mon boys and girls. How could you give this movie less than five stars, huh? This is the definitive chick flick right here at its BEST. It's got charm, wit, sweetness, enough embarrassing moments to make you fall in love twice! Yeah, it has some (just a tiny bit) educational value if you want to go there but it's a chick flick first. Just to comment on that note, I've only heard of the book and skimmed through it at the bookstore but from what I can see, the movie covers the basic truths in the book. The movie centers around the dating life of Gigi (played absolutely adorably by Ginnifer Goodwin) and then through the couples that surround Gigi. The relationships covered in the movie include: desperately dating, married, almost married, kind of dating, secretly dating and cluelessly dating. That's covered'em all, right? I'd like to comment on all the beautiful casts like the gorgeous Scarlett Johansson, rigid and hilarious (yes, she's hilarious!) Jennifer Connelly and countless others but my heart must go out to Ginnifer Goodwin and I'm woman enough to admit that I have at one time or another went through what she goes through in the movie - which, of course, made me root for her even more (Watch the movie ladies and you'll know what I'm talking about). This girl makes all the right mistakes but here's the big catch - it all ends well. And it was so satisfying to see the happy ending especially after all the turmoil and torture of dating that Gigi goes through. I'm being straight with you. I've seriously seen more romantic comedies than any other genres but I have never teared up at the end (like NEVER) until this one. Highly highly recommended to the romantists out there.
P.S. - love the clip of the '10 reasons...' up there. :) thumbs up!

Watch this movie for one reason. Because it shows desperate people who NEED to find someone constantly complain about how they can't find someone. If you watch this, and level with the characters. YOUR ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE I'M TALKING ABOUT. This movie is both cute and horrendous. It, like all movies since Amores Perros, and every movie in the last 7 years follows the same formula of, look 7 people, their lives intertwine. AMAZING. Which is more or less a good way of saying, we don't have a strong enough ensemble of characters as is, So, were just going to create a plate full of people, viewers are bound to like at least one of our 10 short stories, and the movie is great. I see it as lazy. Make 10 different movies then, but make each groups story so strong that it means something to us the viewer if their life doesn't go the way we hope it does. So, before I start cursing, I'll get back to the movie. It's cute at times. But it certainly a reflection of how sad and desperate people are these days. And I can't get much into that. I have a girlfriend, I love her, if we break up. Well, then I won't have to cook dinner for 2 anymore. What's the problem? I don't cry and overanaylze everything from this day forth in my constant need to find love and companionship. And, this movie, while at times an accurate look at life, makes me upset that people are actually like this. My advice, go rent "Love Actually." It's the better version of this movie.

Don't get fooled by this movie's cool title. It is truly incredibly boring. Go talk to your neighbor instead.

Very cute romantic comedy. I wanted to own this DVD, rather than rent it, so that my teenage daughters and I can watch it again and again. Great for "Chick Flick Night"!

This is a cute movie. Watched it once before I bought it. I just had to own it. It makes so much sense for women to see. LOL
