how could anyone like this movie . i avoid this movie because i think it would be merely fluff and but a girlfriend bring it over for movie night and so i decide to give it a try . while i generally love reese witherspoon in many movie ( election and freeway be awesome ) neither she nor the other good actor could rescue the bad story and two dimensional character and poor writing in this trite movie . c amon gal and do woman really act like this . would you treat good people who love you like that . no way . why do male screenwriter decide to portray u like this anyway . at the end of the movie i say out loud and this must have be write by a man . sure enough represent ( story by and screenplay by and direct by ) all men . spoiler additionally and i be get sick and tire of the leave them at the alter but we can still be friend . overused storyline . why be it consider romantic to treat another good person who love you in such a cruel manner . it seem that disregard for kindness and decency and public humiliation be the best romantic story in today vapid hollywood boardroom . this woman be rude and cruel to good people . she say and treat people horribly and we be suppose to believe that if she say i be sorry yall or get a little weepy that this be good enough for 100 % redemption . a a viewer and this be a hard pill to swallow . she lie to the man she love in both case while run away when time be tough ( for good time and bad and til death do u part yeah right ) while publicly humiliate her friend ( several time ) while betrays confidence that in the deep south could mean life or death give me a break . i believe that you should be able to empathize with the protagonist and but i find that i hat her and the story . why do we choose to be spoon feed this insipid crap . i think that a moviegoer pay good money that we need to be a little more critical when a bad story and bad dialog and unbelievable situation arise in movie .
