This was delightful. I enjoy a good romantic comedy and it was nice to see Jennifer Lopez in this kind of role again. It's quite funny and crowd-pleasing and there was a twist I didn't see coming about 40 minutes in. Kudos to the ads for not ruining it. I hope it has staying power at the Box Office.

8/10 (B+)

It was cute. The plot was rather stupid and predictable, but it's a harmless watch. Jennifer Lopez is lovely here. I found her friends insufferable though, every time they were onscreen the movie ground to a halt.

I saw this in a screening a few months back and enjoyed it more than I thought I would. I might have to check it out again on DVD to see if they made any significant changes.

I'd give it a B overall though. I remember Charlene Yi being a highlight in this.
