I'm sorry, but I really didn't like this film. I thought it was horribly sophomoric and contrived. I know the director wanted to be 'extreme' with the stereotypes, but I feel that in doing so he really set his standards too low. Put another way: going with old, obvious stereotypes is too easy. Why not make a smarter, wittier comedy that really says something about our society and its 'need' to get married too quickly. Instead of just listing a slew of in-your-face cliches, why not try to raise the bar?

Anyhow, the film was flashy and technically speaking, it was quite nice. But I was looking for substance over visuals - art over craft.

I think that filmmakers should maybe take a step back from all this postmodern-one-foot-out-the-door-once-removed-ironic filmmaking. Instead of falling back on the "it's just a joke, don't take it seriously" excuse, why not be serious? That's not to say that people should not be making comedies. But when they do - and they should - how about taking more time and putting a little more effort into it?

I found myself really wanting to laugh with this film. It has an interesting premise and infinite possibilities as to where it can go. I also found myself cringing at where the filmmaker chose to stop trying.
