Warning: Spoilers
What's really tragic is that this movie had so much potential to be great. I loved the psychic and destiny angle in the great traditions of only you ( R.D.J/Tomei and classic 3 coins in a fountain) The main actress has a lot of charisma and could carry the movie well. As soon as there is a scene of a threesome of two guys with the girl they had just insulted a few minutes earlier and one of the guys is married, I thought 1) that would never happen, and 2) this was written by a guy. Later in the movie they learned to do yoga so they could reach their penises. ::sigh:: there are great male writers such as Cameron Crowe in fast times, that even though there were sex scenes, they had a purpose, there were consequences and the movie had heart. I didn't care about any of the characters here. I wanted to like the main actress but couldn't understand how she could be a lawyer yet allow herself to be treated horribly by her fiancée. He dumps her for another woman & 2 weeks later, he changes his mind, and she's like "ok I'll take you back?!" What?! The two guy friends were very annoying and not funny at all. One is married with children, but takes viagra so he can have sex with girls at a frat party?! The women friends start out fine but then it turns out they hate each other. It doesn't work like that when you're an adult. You don't have to hang out in a group like in high school. You have a friend, you can meet them individually for a coffee or dinner or go to their place. It saddens me that movies are written this way these days. Especially when this movie could've been wonderful and instead illustrates the decline of...what we used to love about movies.
