Pluskylang Great Film overall

Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

la la The first half of the movie feels so rushed. Not just the single scenes that try to tell you want the movie is about and how close the two siblings are, but also the first half of the story feels just like a means to an end. The whole need to find love and the wedding after one week, just to build on to the second half, the coming out story, which seems like it was supposed to be the 'main' story, but falls short too, because the movie isn't that long, and doesn't seem to have enough time to tell everything it wants to.The story itself could have been really good. Because its more about the coming out, and doesn't end with the two girls having their happy end at some beach in Barcelona. But I think it should have started with her falling in love with her brothers wife and skip the whole part where she finds a woman for him. The closeness between Grey and Sam and how Sam and Charlie got together isn't even that important later on in the movie. And the saved time from the beginning of the movie, could have been added to the second half. To make it the main part and make it better. So in the end, the movie was funny enough to watch, but not really believable or compelling for the viewer and therefore not that great.

sirfire It is important not to be insulted by lack of logic or common sense and those who have any "gray matters" will agree that this movie just doesn't work.The problems lay in the direction, cast selections and lack of depth in the character building. The word comedy was very hard thing to say when i expect to laugh when these words are used. Let's look at the problems in direction/script.Brother and sister both in their mid 30's seem to be well adjusted. They meet a complete stranger at a park and Heather Graham character walks up to her and asks the most intimate questions that even half sane person would be running the other way or at least scream for a police officer. He then awkwardly walks over and makes some stupid statements and she falls for him. Then after ONE date were they all go out together he falls in love with her and decides to get married in Vegas in a week's time???? Hello does anyone feel stupid yet? He goes out with thousands of women and he meets this one person who says about 10 words that WE see on the screen and he wants to marry her. Not only was there no chemistry it just doesn't make sense. Sure it's a romantic comedy and I want to believe it could, but the direction made it completely flat.Now Heather falls head over heels with her too and when Heather Graham and Bridget Moynahan (very shallow character) kiss or more to the point it was sloppiest kiss ever that chemistry MIGHT be there. I found it unromantic and unfunny and while many say Heather cannot act i think the reality is Heather was clearly the wrong person for this role. This was Sue Kramer debut as a director and to me it was just too much for her to chew. It would take a lot of craft to make this movie work and IMHO it could be done with better writers and casting and direction.

acorn74 I wish I'd known more about this movie when I rented it. I'd put it in my queue on the basis of Heather Graham and her strong cred as an actress (IMHO). While parts of the movie were charming, much of the movie felt contrived, undeveloped, or otherwise just boring or predictable. Not to mention the ICK factor of so many people thinking the sibs were a couple... I don't care how big a part of the story line that is, it still felt a bit, um, gross. And Charlie, for a zoologist, she certainly doesn't seem to be very attuned to signals from other Homo sapiens. What was it about her (besides her hotness and some common interests) that made Gray fall for her? The story could have been so much more interesting with a little more depth. High points - Molly Shannon (although I do agree with the reviewer who found her annoying on occasion), the cabbie in drag, and the dance sequences (if Sam & Gray were such great dancers, I wish we'd seen more of that, as the bits we were shown were indeed better than most of the rest of the movie). Could have been better.

TxMike Heather Graham is Gray and Thomas Cavanagh is Sam. The movie opens with them dancing together, clearly enjoying themselves. Then we see them at their apartment, a cute couple. But an odd couple, they are sister and brother, maybe even twins, we are never told. All we know is when Sam answers someone that they had known each other for 30 years.Bridget Moynahan is Charlie who becomes a romantic interest. I didn't particularly like Molly Shannon as co-worker Carrie, but I just don't like Molly Shannon. I really enjoyed Alan Cumming as the Scottish cab driver Gordy who falls for Gray. And, in a small role Sissy Spacek was effective as a therapist who holds her sessions in unusual places with Gray, a rock-climbing wall, for example.A cute movie for the actors but the story isn't particularly great.MAJOR SPOILERS are contained in the rest of my comments. When Sam meets Charlie they quickly fall in love, and plan to get married that weekend in LV, much to the horror of Gray. But forced to go along, Gray and Charlie have a night out, with much alcohol, and Gray and Charlie end up kissing passionately. Gray finds herself attracted to her brother's bride, and in the process fully realizes why she has not had a relationship with a guy -- she is gay! All this causes a falling out between Sam and Gray, but in the end they mend everything. Because, to Sam and Charlie, Gray matters!
