A L @Alee377 Jun 4 What did I just watch? This was a terrible movie. Really hard to follow and made absolutely no sense. See more Jill P @Donotcare19 Feb 15 Felt strongly enough to create an account to review whatever this was. Let me say I adore Katie Holmes and Malin Ackerman but I actually have no words to describe how bad this movie was. So predictable and so hard to follow at the same time, I fast forward through most of it and couldn’t even make it to the end! Completely pointless! The Anna paquin scenes were excruciating, she couldn’t even pretend to act. For such an amazing cast, it should have been a million times better! Cannot believe they even agreed to star in this! I’m sorry Katie & Malin, you’re amazing…but terrible choice!

I thought it was hilarious, esp. the ending. When Tom was saying his "vows" I was cracking up. Amazing performances by Katie Holmes, Anna Paquin, and Josh Duhamel. Yes, they were psychos, but that's why it was a comedy. I guess most people didn't get it. It was a little slow at times, but the overall effect was good.

I had first seen it back around 2014 and there was something about the movie that made me want to give it another shot — perhaps I'm interested in the "incestuous group of friends" trope. The abysmal RT (14/21) scores were surprising and I second guessed whether at only 95 mins it would still be a complete waste of time. Although a group of friends who calls themselves "The Romantics" because of a shared fondness of the romantic era is particularly pretentious — and the setting is a WASPy, water front dreamland — I still find the movie to be charming, even if none of the characters hold that trait themselves. I don't feel like listing all of the characters, but the film does have quite the cast for 2010. The best scene was the rehearsal dinner montage of awkward, funny, drunk, lame, etc. toasts. "We need to talk" right before the wedding was an eye-roll. Laura (Katie Holmes) and Tom's (Josh Duhamel) climactic convo also didn't possess the gravitas it thought it did. (I might be convincing myself of lowering my score as I write this.) The ending was abrupt and unsatisfying. If it had 30 more mins, this probably would've been a good movie — that's a big "if" however. It did introduce me to the band Bedouin Soundclash back in 2014, so maybe that has something to do with it? Whatever. I kinda like it. See more andrea c @Charst 03/06/2021 Terribile. Tutto viene riassunto in una frase di Katie Holmes durante la cena iniziale, " alla fine siamo un gruppo di amici incestuosi". E così fu, tutto viene apparecchiato per permettere ai personaggi di tradirsi a vicenda con le peggiori pugnalate. Monologhi privi di senso e scambi di coppia da brividi. Tutto riassunto in un finale da mani nei capelli per la disperazione e il fastidio. See more Read all reviews
