Fantastic.

Overall good script with an awful ending.

jolie makes this movie.

#, hype, casting

Flawed and a little cheesy at times, but overall quite entertaining.

Reminded me a lot of Love Actually (big ensemble, feelgood, love is central, mildly connected stories, etc), except it wasn't as good. The thing is though, Love Actually isn't really all THAT good either, which makes this less than good, which makes it borderline bad. Not terrible mind you, but certainly not good. I was really only interested in a couple of the stories, and even then, I feel like it was more because I liked the actors/actresses in those stories, not the stories themselves.

Cheesy and certainly has it's problems but it's got enough to push it above the average awful romantic comedy.

The big thing i hate here is that three of the main characters are busy dying of something or other, which is a cheap way to create emotional scenes. I'm a bit distracted by the telling lots of stories at once format, but the end brings it all together so nicely its forgivable. Everyone is charming & looks great.
