This ensemble romantic comedy doesn’t explore any new territory but it’s quite engaging and a notch above most of the standard run of the mill romcoms. Sort of a
LA RONDE re-imagined with 20 somethings, the story is lucky to be populated by five of the most likeable young actresses working today: Jennifer Aniston, Drew Barrymore, Jennifer Connelly, Scarlett Johansson, Ginnifer Goodwin plus the likeable Kevin Connelly as it twists and turns as everyone plays romantic musical chairs and the occasional nugget of truth emerges amongst the romcom clichés. Alas, Johansson has her two best scenes cut from the film (including one with Theresa Russell as her mother) which is unfortunate as they give us a little more insight into her character. Ben Affleck, Kris Kristofferson and Justin Long co-star.
