This will move you
This was one of those movies, which had everything in it. Drama, tears, outstanding humor, you name it.
I almost didn't watch it after everyone I spoke with, labeled it as a "chick-flick". Forget about it.
This is a grand movie. Probably one of the best from the 90s. If you enjoy movies that are made from the heart, you'll love it.
I've seen some great movies like Somewhere in Time, Love Story and this one easily falls in the same league, at least for me.
The guy with the British accent gave a great performance and did his humor outstandingly. Julia Roberts acted superb.
Cameron Diaz, who I'd never see act before fulfilled her part decently.
I can't digest a rating of 6.3 on IMDB. Leads me to believe how biased IMDB's ratings can be sometime.
Forget about what any one says. If you like great movies with a message,
Then see this one today!!

P.S. By the way, I agree with the person above. "Here to f**k me" line was abolutely not required and should not have been there. Too bad the movie is still too good. But ahh.

Am I the only one to think this dialog was out of line?
I enjoyed this movie except for a line of dialogue that seems totally out of place.

Julia Robert's character tries to explain Rupert Everett's character's presence as "here to f*** me."

Not only does this line seem way out of place in the movie, but I pictured someone watching this with a child of 13 (it's rated PG13) and having to explain what this line means.

Hollywood's view of what's proper language for "PG13" productions and mine once again part company.

Just be aware of this line in the movie before you watch it with others.


Whoa to the chick flick genre
This movie made me so angry I can't even begin to sum it up. Starring the cutest, sweetie pie bad actress of all time, Julia Roberts, in the cutest, sweetie pie backdrop ever, who turns it into a semi screwball comedy (the one saving grace) and an all out fest of shrewish behavior and jealousy.

Julia Roberts plays her every woman self who is fretting over the arrival of her friend, Dylan McDermott, into her native Chicago. The two former flames have agreed that if they do not find someone to love by the age of 28 they will marry each other. The witching hour is approaching and she confides to her sassy gay man friend that she doesn't want to go through with it. Imagine her surprise when she hears that McDermott has met the woman of his dreams, Cameron Diaz, and although it's sudden has decided that she is in fact The One. And then what happens? Is Julia Roberts relieved that she doesn't have to join in this dreaded union? Is she happy that McDermott is happy? Of course not. In typical irrational female mentality, she becomes jealous and furious that he is not catering to her needs.

The rest of this movie is a series of plots that Julia is attempting to put the kabosh on the wedding, which are mean spirited and self centered but are hidden thinly under some screwball comedy and hijinx. I was chanting "Kill the bitch!" halfway into it.

And that scene where she and McDermott are under the shadow of the bridge?! Where he's talking about moments that you miss and things right in front of you, then when they come out from under the shadow of the bridge and he turns away. Was that supposed to be sentimental?! While everyone in the theater was in tears I was also because we were on the verge of two people actually making some kind of connection in this movie and we missed it! Whoa to the chick flick genre.

The one saving grace was Rupert Everett, the sassy gay friend. He was a gem and continues to be, even if it was a now somewhat typical role as the gay man companion to a lone strait woman. He was by far the funniest, and displayed the most talent. Cameron Diaz isn't bad either now that I think of it.

The ending made me want to puke. After she reviels that she had been behind all the sabbatage, both Cameron and McDermott forgive her? That's just ridiculous. I'd be too ashamed to look at myself in the mirror let alone at anyone else if I were behind all that. This was confirming the notion for women that it's ok to be irrational, jealous and self centered.
