I stumbled into this interminably dull piece of tripe last night. Dennis Quaid wears a really fake looking gut, Sarah Jessica Parker expects the audience to believe she pull off a character who's supposed to be 31 or 32, Christine Lahti wanders in and out a couple times but serves no purpose for an actress of her stature, and Juno was Juno. Avoid at all costs!

I enjoyed it. The 3rd act plot "twist" to unite people who have no business together for longer than 36 hours is a ghastly, low-blow contrivance, and the resolution strains credibility, but before that, I was genuinely engaged and bought most of it.
But ... oh whatever, it's not the sort of material to debate. It's not a spoonful of nasty cynicism or yet another story of 29 year old chubby adolescent boys obsessing on bong, unscorable babes and old toy collections, and it wasn't written by a committee, so I was just glad to be there.
I still want to see it.

I wasn't drawn to this at all - but this statement alone might get me to rent the DVD.

Well more power to anyone who enjoyed it, but I thought it was ghastly.
It's this year's FRIENDS WITH MONEY, the mid-Spring film with an indie feel for grown-ups.
