Soft comedy with no more than a handful of funny scenes. It often continues to worry with Jason Biggs and Kate Hudson's film career has actually been at a dead end from the start (with the exception of Almost Famous, 2000), that doesn't help dear mother (Goldie Hawn) .

“You people are sinners!”

Nothin'. I usually like Dane Cook in these kinds of films, and here too he is the main reason that the film is still somewhat entertaining. It just could have been a bit sharper and there is far too little humor in the film. Or the humor didn't work for me, that's also possible.

I had the feeling that the balance between hard humor/romantic drama was a bit off. Fortunately, that is finally made up for with the "ten step scene" at the wedding. I found Hudson and especially Biggs very mediocre. Baldwin would have liked a little more. Anyone can draw the ending.

Not really a great film that doesn't excel in any area. What the film has done well is the good choice of the cast. Biggs and Hudson are 2 faces that I always like to see in movies, but unfortunately they are not hilarious.

Cook often has to provide a comic relief, but this doesn't always work. Towards the end it gets a bit more comical, but in a pretty lame way. Fortunately, it did feel refreshing at the time, and the film scores a number of points on that.

I can't say it was smooth, but you can get through it. A story that is ok to follow, good acting but it lacks the real chemistry and humor a bit. For the rest it can go on.
