A fine movie, well acted with extraordinary attention to detail. The scoring by Hans Zimmer merits special mention. It's an intricate story so be sure to get your popcorn before the movie starts. This is not a flick I would have run out to see; it was my husband's turn to choose and it was a good pick.
As an unabashed fan of Nancy Meyer's movies, I always look forward to a new release from her. Once again, she does not disappoint - of course, when you throw in Meryl, Alec and Steve, it's hard to go wrong. Unquestionably, It is a chick flick, although my husband (who prefers to think that he isn't a fan of the genre) did admit that he enjoyed it. I don't give it a 5 star rating because, although it is funny and clever, it is short of brilliant.
