This was cute, maybe not as good as all the hype, but very cute. I love Reese Witherspoon - she was very cute in it.

It was predictable but cute.

Missy2, in a word-YES- he gets better with age. I can't believe this is the same dork from the 80's. Life is so unfair. Men age so well and women just age.

I know I was watching him on a Will and Grace episode the other day and I'm thinking oh my goodness he is a gorgeous!!! He was so goofy in the 80's!!

Was anyone else a little, err, conflicted about the ending?! I mean why was the other guy so happy to give up? And I thought she loved him, so it seemed a bit sad to then let him go. Getting back together with her husband was sweet and all, but maybe a bit too fairytale for me.

Liked the movie though!

Umm Kitt, you didn't just give away the ending did you? :(

Ooops, sorry, I guess I did. To be honest though, the ending's kind of expected from quite early on (the trailers even!), so hopefully I haven't spoilt it too much for you. Maybe a moderator wants to come in and delete or edit my last post.

Just rented this movie. Does anyone know what the character Andrew (patrick dempsey) meant near the end when he said 'so this is how that feels' to Melanie (reese witherspoon) at the wedding?

Yeah- when they originally got married he ended up drunk and they were never able to have their wedding dance- I imagine their first wedding was nothing real serious/romantic. That's also why he kept saying he owed her a dance-- they never danced on their original wedding years before.

******SPOILER*******

Maybe I named the wrong character, but I meant when her fiancee said 'so this is how that feels' to her at the wedding when she tells him that she can't marry him. I wasn't surprised that he let her go so easy because I felt he knew that she still had feelings for Jake. But I didn't get that comment of his. Anyone know?

He's this high-flyin' JFK type. Good looking, his mother is the mayor, he's pretty much the prince of New York and used to getting whatever he wants whenever he wants. How many people can close down Tiffany's for a private showing?

So at the end, when he said "this is how it feels" I think he was commenting on the fact that this is how it feels to not have things turn out the way he wanted. I don't think he had been rejected before, he was probably the one doing the rejecting all the time, and now this little Alabama girl was the one rejecting him. I think it was a real eye-opener for him.

WOW crazydog that was a perfect explanation! I totally get it now. So, okay did you happen to see 'Hart's War' with Bruce Willis? There are alot of things I could use explained in that movie LOL

I didn't like this movie because I didn't believe her character would have done what she did at the end but who am I?

About Patrick Dempsey giving up so easily- this happened alot in old movies. The gentlemanly thing to do was to step aside for her happiness. We just don't see alot of that anymore.

LOL Curious. Hart's War - avoided it like the plague.

I saw this movie in the theater so I didn't rent the DVD. What's the alternate ending that they advertise on the box?
