[SPOILER ALERT - I give away some things in this review.] This wasn't so great, mostly because Sarah Jessica Parker is so G.D. annoying. Sure, she's supposed to be annoying, but she really went overboard. And another thing, she gets drunk one time, lets her hair down, and her personality changes completely? Give me a break. She doesn't deserve the ending she gets, and neither does her fiancé. Luke Wilson is good, as always, but he is overshadowed by a so-so story. - T

I enjoyed this movie, except for Sarah Jessica Parker, who I find irritating and unattractive. The other characters were good, and I liked the interaction among the family members. Despite the intended upheaval and strife of the circumstances and events depicted in the film, there was no escaping the too-perfect conclusion. - A
