This is your typical ‘chick flick’ but the comedic aspects in this romcom (romantic comedy) will keep the boy friend quiet (along with the hot dogs and popcorn you promised to buy him) if all the eye candy in the shape of Sofia Vergara, Jessica Biel and Katherine Heigl doesn't work. Don't worry ladies, there's plenty of guy candy thrown in their too in the fine forms of Zac Efron, Ashton Kutcher, Josh Duhamel and hip hop rapper Common.
Now this is the festive season so do expect some cheese on your board with this film, a particular lift experience being the cheddar Around Christmas people eat cheese boards, tried to make a joke, never mind lol. There are also some heart warming, emotional moments and even a little twist in the end for those (like me) who think they can suss out a films plot and guess the end.
Out of all the story lines the biggest let down is the one containing Sarah Jessica Parker and her renegade teen, SJP is far too relaxed about her daughter's happenings and must there always be a slo-mo shot of her in a "gorgeous" dress?? I mean come on! Every film?
It's not the greatest film but who would expect as much from a movie with so many famous faces? There are even celebs I didn't expect to see, which is a pleasant surprise. The slight 80s reference when Matthew Broderick makes a small appearance as MR BUELLERTON was cool and there is even a few musical numbers which comes as no surprise as that chick from Glee and Jon Bon Jovi are in it.
If you want an all star cast, glitz, glamour and beautiful people set in a beautiful city then this is for you.
