I just returned from it, I thought it was very well done, but I am a bit bias because they filmed it a mile from my house (West Chester, Pa.)

About 50/50 on RT. I like Jennifer Anniston, but I hate Owen Wilson more than that. So no.

This. Usually a movie or similiar has a bunch of plot holes or changes made compared to the book.

*spoiler*
Also IIRC, in the book the dog dies. Have no idea if it does in the movie.

that's true most of the time. there are 1 or 2 movies that the movies = books in terms of quality.

It's a date movie, ya dope.

Conan and Leno really loved it for some reason. Maybe it has some NBC tie in.

I heard the movie was a downer, and I hate downer movies. I go to see movies to be happy/uplifted. Probably wouldn't of seen it anyways.

PS anyone wanna hear my owen wilson impression? It's not too shabby. I got kind of a crappy mic.

It's really only in america that every movie is required to have a happy ending...many other countries don't want to see happy endings.

However, any of you that are confused should google it..it is a true story.

Hardly any movies in America have happy endings. Everyone wants to make the biggest downer to try and win an Oscar.
