    NOT A CHICK FLICK!!! Decided to go for Valentine's Day cus my girlfriend said she wanted to see it thinking it was a romantic love story, but I walked out hating my life, feeling sorry for everyone in the movie, and wondering what the heck god was mad at. Great movie, just don't expect what I did.
