Rupert Everett was the only remotely interesting and convincing thing in this tedious romcom which I found neither very rom nor particularly com. I found the protagonists unlikeable from the start, but in contrast to many films I did not grow to like them as the action went on. Cameron Diaz was out of character and Julia Roberts' hair and lips annoyed the hell out of me - but then they always do. I found the male lead a complete pain and their "friendship" unreal. However, one good thing was that I couldn't guess the ending until it happened - so credit where it's due. The plot was really thin and spun out to the nth degree - a half-hour sitcom would be nearer the mark - or possibly two episodes as in Friends where Ross marries Emily. Don't bother unless you really like Julia Roberts.
