I feel like I have to apologize that I went to see that movie. But it was raining like crazy and I decided to wait it out and see a movie before facing the floods in the roads. I have not seen a movie with Jennifer Aniston, Julia Roberts and Kate Hudson and I was surprised how ordinary all of them looked. There are plenty of more beautiful and interesting looking women everywhere I go. So the casting person did the right thing when they gave Kate Hudson rather ordinary parents and an Indian doctor as a husband who did not look very Bollywood. Roberts' wig did nothing for her and the daughter she acquired in that movie looked like somebody else's child. I never liked Pretty Woman and the new combination of Roberts and the director Marshall was even worse. So I have seen Roberts in a movie before... The second surprise was that one of the so-called funny moments in the movie was a very tired scene where a candy bar got stuck in a vending machine. The same thing was used in another movie I recently saw where the whole movie revolved around the stuck candy bar: Demolition. Screenwriters must be on an unhealthy diet ........ And so must be the character Jennifer Aniston played, she acted like a nut case. The movie was filled with one stupid cliché after the other. Divorced husband going for younger woman, parents not accepting partner with different skin color or gender, successful business woman giving up child for adoption, lonely widower not wanting to date.
None of the characters felt real or relatable. It certainly was no feel-good movie , no mother should be subjected to this soap opera. I may have been the target audience and for once they got me, usually my built-in chick-flick detector prevents me to see these kind of movies.
