Unfortunately, it doesn't pack a strong punch. This movie isn't dreadful or anything but it does not hold your interest-I read two thick magazines front to back during the coarse of the movie.
The problems are:this whole concept has been done before and just been done in a wittier way. I am not a major fan of Betsy's wedding(not exactly the same concept but they both have that "wedding about to go wrong" thing) BUT that movie did have a certain sweetness to it-it was cute. This is basically a movie about two people about to get married who become convinced married life will bring them down-each has friends telling them how awful married life will be and all the bad surprises they might expect once the deed is completed. It's not at all funny though, the movie limps along as the couple in question get more and more depressed....I'm not sure what exactly went arong but the word that comes to mind is "bland" Not a terrible movie, not unwatchable just-bland and also somewhat forced.
The two leads had no chemistry anyway and the "friends" and their advice-which may have been meant to be funny-was yawn provoking. I'd say this movie is about a 5 because I did at least get through it without completely hating it or anything but....not high on my list of see agains.
