first of all, you know you are in for a terrible movie whenever it has kate hudson in the cast, right? well, the wife wanted to watch it and i got suckered into it. at least the rest of the cast is pretty likable- its got ginnifer goodwin (from 'once upon a time'), john krasinski (from 'the office'), and steve howey (who i loved from 'reba'). though it has the huge strike against it of having kate hudson in it, it kind of worked because she is supposed to be someone you dont like. well then, perfect casting! the story follows two friends who fall for the same guy, the problem is that one of the friends keeps quite about it for six years while the other dates him and is now about to marry him. well, wouldnt you know it, its time for the silent girl to finally speak up! the whole thing is pretty predictable, but i do give it credit for having an ending that is somewhat realistic when it comes to the aftermath of the climax. one of my big problems with it, though, is the casting. sure, its filled with some pretty good actors, but for some reason the decide to have krasinski as the best friend, not as the romantic lead. what? they had two actors that are a ton of fun to watch every time they are on screen: krasinki as the best friend, and howey as the ex. what a waste! instead they fill that role with a charisma-free random guy who kinda looks like jared leto. okay... as an audience member i kept wondering why these two girls care about the boring guy when they have two other guys who are infinitely more interesting and funny! ugh.
