So I watched this last night and I was less than impressed. The trailer had me assuming it was going to get an MA15+ rating for frequent coarse language, drug use and sex scenes, but as it turns out it only got an M. The most offensive thing in there was the "I want to sit on his face" line. The trailer also made it seem as though it had the potential to be hilarious, and it did have that potential, it just didn't quite make it.
Yet another trashy Hollywood rom-com where the lead characters get everything they wanted and live happily every after. Not that inspiring and not really that funny. There were some great one-liners between Cameron Diaz and Jason Segel, but sadly that's about it's only saving grace. There are plenty of those awkward moments where you think "oh they're not going to do that are they" and then sure enough there it is. Most of the laughter came from those moments, where the only thing you could do was laugh.
They just haven't quite got the BRIDESMAIDS and HANGOVER formula right, but you can tell they really have tried. I wouldn't be rushing out to see this one. 2 out of 5.
