Quotes

Gail: Your aunt had to bring up Lumpy.
Kristin: Mom, someone died. People are gonna talk about it.
Gail: But that's all they talk about. Oh, your best man got drunk and died at the wedding. Do you know that he hit on your cousin Lindsay?
Kristin: She's fourteen. They were just dancing.
Gail: I think it's inappropriate. I don't like it.
[pause]
Gail: Well, don't tell me you don't wish that it didn't happen on your wedding night?
Kristin: Actually... I just wish that it didn't happen.

User Reviews

absolute delight

this is my first review and i cannot be more happier to write it... the movie is astonishingly simple and beautiful.don't know why its 6.5,it should be up with 9s and 8s. well after seeing this movie i just kind of felt happy and wished we all be like these people portrayed in this movie.watched it when i was nothing to do and it took me by surprise... really sad that everybody waste money in making action packed cinema (hollywood)and shitty love stories (bollywood)while they should concentrate more on these kind of movies. really really love the movie and the theme too.

one of the very best movies i have ever watched. the best.
