This was a very good movie and the leads (Jennifer Aniston and Paul Rudd) have very good chemistry. The problem was the script, which at times becomes so predictable, you could doze off for 10 or 15 minutes and still would have not missed anything.
It really was a very unique and interesting idea for a plot, but most of the time it just taps on the surface of emotions of the characters. Situations are dealt with in a simplistic and unrealistic way. Granted it is suppose to be a comedy, but it really never reaches a comedic level. This one would have been better as a light drama and went deeper into the frustrations of finding that perfect someone, but instead it turns out to be unrequited love.
Again, the performances here are very good, including Alan Alda as the step-brother-in-law. For a light comedy, without much thought and depth, it does better than most. Above average 6 out of 10.
