rom com.

Warning: Spoilers
spoiler. it's a rom-com, so you know the ending. however, we do have to get from "a" to "z". and the road is not your usual stereotypical stuff. we have a seeming successful doctor, with a loving family and an empty life. she fills the void with alcohol, sadly. would drugs have been better? anyway, she needs a date for a wedding, and voila, there's your movie. an ex boyfriend shows up, natch, and problems ensue. her date, a saint, God help us, is a man of straight up good character and good things like that. of course, the ex is, well, catnip. we do get to "z", but not how you might figure. the dynamic is really well defined and the family dialogue is not bad. there is a late scene between the sister and brother-in=law which is quite lovely. he explains love and marriage. it's probably a chick flick, but I think the date could get through it. not bad, really.
