I picked this movie because I wanted a girls' night out and I knew the only kind of movie my group would agree on was something like this. So I swallowed my disinterest, because I'm not a girly-girl that does melodramatic, predictable, romantic-comedies or self-help books of the variety which this movie came from.
Nevertheless, I was pleasantly surprised. It was good comedy. Not slap-stick dumb-### comedy, and it was blunt. Of course, there were predictable, girly moments but there were enough cute real-life moments to overshadow Hollywood's love of the usual. There was racial honesty & comedy as well as romantic and it wasn't a self-help movie, if you didn't know it came from a book you might've thought it was a relationship movie produced by a group suggesting a new/matured approach to love.
I don't know what else to say really. It was really good. Lots of cute guys but not a chick-flick. I suggest you go see it.
