In the final scene of the film Danny points to Brian; as he plays the bass guitar, his beard (as Danny mentioned early on in the movie) supposedly wiggles - the string used to make this happen is clearly visible.

User Reviews

Hmmmm....Okay.....

I put this on mainly for my girlfriend to watch and wasn't expecting very much. The opening scene explaining the wedding ring made me laugh more than a few times. The acting wasn't amazing and the story was okay but I found myself laughing at quite a lot of this movie. Jennifer Aniston was her usual character but I didn't dislike her and actually found myself thinking 'Hmm, I'd like to wake up next to her..' You can tell what is going to happen almost as soon as the movie starts but I found it quite watchable. Apart from Nicole Kidman. She annoyed me in this movie.

Overall this isn't going to be in your top 100 movies of the year and it certainly isn't going to win any awards but it is a harmless movie that will make you laugh (Unless you have no sense of humour).

I suggest buying it when its £3 in Asda then giving it to your sister/aunt/mum/daughter for Christmas after you've watched it. ;)
