I had an absolute BLAST!! It was great - more than the "chick flick" that I originally thought it was. I was laughing and cheering at the characters antics! It was a comedy, a love story, a story of revenge and a story of courage all wrapped up in one movie! I had a lot of fun, and I'm so glad I went - this one is going into my Blueray collection for sure! My husband rates this movie as an 8, I give it a 9, so girlfriends, it's not just for you, take your guys to it too!

This was a very funny movie. There was one particular scene which I found unnecessary, and though I was not offended by it, I found it didn't really fit with the tone of the rest of the movie. It was nice to watch two perfect strangers become so closely bonded in a short amount of time. Definitely a movie that will appeal more to women than men, but even the men in the audience had some big laughs.

Overall the movie was very funny. The editing was very choppy, especially during scenes where more than one person needed a close up (many too many stars?). We were informed that this was a pre-screening and wasn't the final cut so the editing might be cleaned up in the final release. Two Thumbs Up!!

The movie is a typical chick flick comedy, and with that in mind along with lowered expectations (okay zero expectations), it was unexpectedly enjoyable. It is definitely a movie catered to the female audience (the outfits were gorgeous) despite efforts to elicit male audience with the casting of Minaj and Upton, whose characters lacked complete depth that it is difficult to fault their acting debuts. There are most certainly implausible scenes throughout the movie that reminds you of the zero expectations you pledged before walking in and to just go with it. Without a doubt, the movie is carried by Leslie Mann’s acting who makes the character unpredictably likeable and surprisingly funny.
