Joel C.

The language in this movie was terrible especially since it was rated PG-13. The explicit language took away for the enjoyment of the movie and was not necessary.

Burns is again showing his talent for capturing the angst and understanding of his generation (30 somethings!). Don't expect high drama here, or a tear jerking conclusion, as this is a subtle peeling of an onion taking place on screen. All of the characters are understandable for their personal anxieties and determination. Burns doesn't need a script for his part here as he's played this guy in several films; meaning and attitude tumble out naturally. Blair suprised me with her sophisticated exigencies and it's nice to see her mature into a part like this. Messing is, as always, on her game and I loved the scene when Burns is yelling at her to hurry up. She and Burns, surprisingly, just stumble into a new relationship that seems a lot like an old, comfortable marriage!

This was very slow, and for most part a downer with all the character's problems. Getting to the romance was a very slow process.

Love story, typical! When we were young, we did a lot things which can let us feel regret in the rest of life. Fortunately, LIFE give you second chance to make up. Someone can catch the chance; but someone would not pay attention on this chance and miss it again; However, there is someone who can see the chance but can not seize it. Well, I think everyone has regret about their first, premature love. Hope next time, when you meet again, if you still owe her/him an apology or even a word, plz speak out; and if you still have feeling on her/him, plz dont be shy, speak out too, I WANNA BE TOGETHER!
