Once again, I listened to the (mostly male) reviewers and almost didn't go to this movie. I expected it to be horrible, but since it was Valentine's Day and I wanted to see a "chick flick," this seemed to be the best bet, since the rest of the choices got even worse reviews.
I never read the book on which the movie is based, but I was mildly interested. I may now read it, since I enjoyed the movie. The intertwined stories were not as predictable as you might think, and not everyone gets a happy ending. The ending, however, is satisfying. I loved all the leads in their roles, but particularly enjoyed Ginnifer Goodwin and Justin Long (made me nostalgic for the days when I watched "Ed" and enjoyed them on that show). It's about time Justin Long got to play an adult!! Jennifer Aniston and Ben Affleck were also excellent, and Scarlet Johansen and Jennifer Connolly were great as well.
I am glad that I chose to see this movie, and I recommend it.
