Oh Dear!...Chick-Flick?. ..More Like Crap-Flick

This movie is a disaster.
I have no problem with so called "chick-flicks", presuming the likes of Bridget Jones's Diary or The Holiday fall into this catagory.
I really liked Toni Collette in films such as Muriels Wedding, About A Boy, and Little Miss Sunshine.
I also liked Cameron Diaz in There's Something About Mary.

I lasted until Shirley MacLaine made her appearance, then had to eject.
Was that whole set-up with the other oldies supposed to be funny? poignant? revealing?
It was total rubbish, as was every scene that came before it.
Did they think that saying the word "vagina" twenty times in a restaurant is funny?
Cameron Diaz played a drunk as an actress playing a drunk, not as a drunk.
The acting was poor, and the script absolute dross.


How many more movies do we have to endure with the same cliched "messages"?

Mabye some of your US contributors could enlighten me.

Is there some sort of formulatic book that washed-up scriptwriters seem to gravitate to when they suffer a mental block.

I've nothing against feel-good movies when they're done properly, but when they're not, they can be dire.

This reminds me of that other touchy-feely piece of rubbish, Dan In Real Life.
Let's all discover our inner beauty, hug a couple of trees, and the world will be a better place!

Toni Collette, I'm surprised at you.
You're capable of so much more.
Don't settle for the dross of lazy directors and script-writers.

And somebody actually awarded this ten stars????
What planet did they beam down from?
What an insult to all the good and the great movies, from the silent era to today.
What an insult to the great directors and script-writers of the last 100 years.

Did this film bomb at the box office?
If it did, then mabye my faith in human nature has been restored!
