Cute flick
Why the terrible buzz? So it's not an Oscar contender, it's not supposed to be.
This is a cute, romantic romp. Sure, I could see some "plot twists" coming for miles, but so what? I didn't want to see ghosts, murders, car crashes or giant blue people. I went to a light, feel-good movie with an actual script & clever plot, amusing characters and dialog about human interaction. It delivered.
The movie gives you a look at the love stories of people of all ages from many directions. I liked seeing the numerous stories woven together, how everyone impacted on everyone else.
Some stories were more dominant, some barely existed. I wanted to see more of some stories than others, more of some actors than others. But it fits together nicely.
If you only like computer generated stuff blowing up, monsters flying thru the air & marauding knife wielders, you will find this movie boring. If you like to smile, giggle & be happy, give this movie a chance and make up your own mind.
