this film have good intention i guess and but it do not really come off that way to me . this film be about a woman who be about to marry a nice guy politician from new york but have to go home and divorce her ex husband who refuse to sign the paper . the films general message be that success and be rich in life aren not important and have baby and cooking and get drunk and potter about do not much be what life about . i be not so arrogant a to say it a wrong message and i be a lazy person and it agree with me . but the problem start with the fact you be suppose to love this up herself girl who come back and insult her former friend and you just do not find that happen . this film try to twist and surprise you which it doesn not do and you find her transition and jumpy and force and instead of a steadily realisation she just seem to wake up or click instantly into this next stage of realisation ( after punch a woman in the face . hmmm . our heroine suddenly develop a very strong south american accent and this quick transition come across a purely ridiculous . you find yourself majorly worry by the immoral ( inevitable ) walk out on a really nice guy at the altar and who be just suppose to accept that because of witherspoon nice smile ( which he do oh my heart break i think i be ok with you leave bye ) . classic old school romantic comedy at least have the decency to make the other man a git and or at least plot or not want to marry her themselves . i would comment on the blatant racist north america south america overtone but i do not really know enough about this to comment . not bad act performance from all the cast despite the script and plot . life be short but not so short you should avoid watch this film and after all it a feel good film .
