This movie was alright, but a bit too long. I like the idea behind the story - finding out the secrets Jennifer Garner's fiancee kept from her, after he dies pre-wedding.

The acting was good. I love Jennefire Garner. Kevin Smith shoed range, and Juliette Lewis was everything she should have been and more (Someone give this girl more work!). Timothy Olyphant, whom I usually like, didn't seem to fit in here. I think he was miscast. In fact, I forgot he was in it - I had to look up the lead male actor as I wrote this. I don't  think he had any chemistry with Garner, either.

So, if you like romantic comedies, adilt dramas, or any of the cast members, see this movie. I am not a chick flick fan, but I rented this because of the good critical reviews. Mildly disappointing.
