Quotes

Courtney: Fifty percent of what people say when they are joking is true, which means, you do wanna go to this wedding but you are too afraid to admit it. So, by making some sort of joke about it, you get to say what you really want without being vulnerable.

I Disagree w/ the Above Comment
19 October 2005 | by (Las Vegas) – See all my reviews

This movie was not terrible! Obviously, if you're looking to watch something deep and profound, don't rent this movie. This is just a lighthearted, and yes, over-the-top spoof of sorts. I love it. I thought it was hilarious. Cameron Diaz and Applegate made a wonderful team, though I think they could have gotten someone then Selma Blair to play the third girl, Blair always has that sour-puss look on her face like she just sucked a lemon, but overall the result was funny. I laughed out loud throughout the entire film and have turned at least ten people on to it, and they thought it was funny and cute too. Not a brainy film by any means, but it wasn't trying to be.
