Critics Consensus

This coming-of-age film's young, attractive cast helps to mitigate the stultifying dialogue and uninspired direction.

The Swiss-quartz comic timing of the film's ensemble cast makes its neurotic characters more compelling than your average cinematic slackers.

This is a hit and miss romantic comedy with a few solid laughs and some pretty smart dialogue.

2.5/4

I continue to enjoy Van Der Beek's willingness to play obnoxiously against type -- it turns out as a big-headed hero, he's boring, but as a big-headed ***, he's a funny guy.

3/4

...a progressively endearing effort that boasts several superb performances and a brisk, downright fun sensibility.

3/4

An independent, dialogue-heavy film that from the looks of it was made more with fun and passion than money.

Well I was expecting a James Vanderbeek lead movie but instead he was more of a cameo. Still his character along with Ethan embrays were the funniest. A very funny movie about college friends reuniting for a wedding. This movie should've been 2 hours long. I wanted to get to know all the characters better. Still worthy of a watch. Tim Treakle

Filme mais ou menos, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são mais ou menos, o elenco é bacaninha, mas ninguém ajudou a melhorar o filme, a história é fraca, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e mais relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom.

A decent effort that didn't turn out as well as it should have. it has it's moments, some humor, some drama. The ending kinda makes up for a lot. I'd probably watch it again.
