This is described as a "chick flick" but I went with DH and we both enjoyed it for its relationships between characters. Just enough humor, sadness, life's realties. Not a fluff piece but not a really, really indepth movie. Just very nice and enjoyable. The actors do a great job. Cameron Diaz plays her part just right as does Toni Collette. Shirley McClain (whom I don't usually care for) was good too, as were the elderly actors in her retirement community. I would recommend this movie. Fun, well done and entertaining.

Jennifer Weiner's books are "chick lit" but VERY high level chick lit I'd say. I just bought her fourth book. And Chick Lit isn't my thing usually. Glad to hear they did a good job on the movie.

The first hour was torture for me...didn't care for the characters and didn't know quite where this was going...I had been told that it was about sisters finding their grandmother. But, after that first hour, I was hooked. It does have depth as well as some nice light moments. I would not relegate this movie to the chick flick category. Now, I may have to read Jennifer Weiner's work.

I went to see this with my ex, aunt and dd (who really was a bit too young and I had to cover her eyes a few times) We all loved it though. I thought the Ex was going to be furious that we dragged him to a chick flick during our visit to SF to see his aunt, but he not only liked the film-he even recommended it to one of his buddies! Woah!
