Just saw that it's at a movie house about a half-hour from where I work. I'm a little wary of checking this one out because the last time I saw a romance/culture clash comedy based on enthusiastic word-of-mouth, it was the somewhat overated (imho) 'My Big Fat Greek Wedding' which merely made me nostalgic for old 'Northern Exposure' episodes.

BILB is getting great critical reviews too though (not that I pay that much attenion to critics :) ) so I'm tempted to give it a chance.

I've seen it, but it was quite a while ago (it's been out in the UK for at least a year) so I don't remember it that well. I think all the buzz about it is a little too much, it was good, but perhaps a bit cliched? Nice though. From what I remember it was nowhere near as good as MBFGWedding, and is intended to be more touching/interesting than funny.

We are taking the girls to see it this weekend and I hope it lives up to the hype. It's geared towards teenagers though, isn't it? I always keep the target group in mind when watching a film, or I would be loco by now (referring to years of such gems as: Pokemon, Pokemom 2.....Pokemon 6143). LOL

I liked it alot. I didn't laugh out loud but it was funny and touching. At times the main character was unlikeable because of her selfishness but that all gets taken care of in the end. I would recommend it.

I saw it. I don't think it deserved its hype/praise. Nothing wrong with the movie but nothing that great about it either.

I thought it a very entertaining movie.

Caught it this weekend during a video binge. It was a very sweet story.

I watched it this weekend also. I thought it was great. The lead girl was gorgeous and even though I knew it would have an ending all tied up in a neat bow, I still loved it.
