So here we go again, another Rom Com with an inevitable ending and a script written by a group of 'last year Drama students'.
I must admit when my wife picked this film up I thought I would have to endure the usual trivial dross as with other films of the same genre.
However within the first 20 minutes I found myself drawn to the two leading characters in a way I normally wouldn't for this type of film. In fact, this is far from a light hearted and cuddly comedy we have all come to expect. The film carries a serious yet subtle undertone throughout about two people and the measure of their loyalty to themselves and their friends.
There are some laugh out loud moments and even a few tear jerkers. Don't get me wrong this film is not flawless but if it is a quiet night in with a bottle of wine they don't come much better than this.
A plausible script with strong performances from Heigl and Duhamel.
