Yep, that's it. Cold and hard. You can call this film 'sweet'. You can try to justify its existence through every possible way known to man. You can even claim that it's romantic, rather than dated, derivative and 'been there, done that'. Nothing will change the fact that this film simply is not funny. The humor is just not there. The chemistry between the cast is non-existent. The film reeks of 'could have been'. There's nothing funny about it. While I watched, I tried come up with things less amusing than this film; I couldn't think of a thing. Within the first thirty minutes or so, there's an ethnic wedding. Somehow, I felt that it was supposed to be funny, that I should laugh, but nothing about it was even remotely humorous. Early on, there's a scene where Aniston's character's boss tells her she needs to spend more money than she has if she wants a promotion. I couldn't help but be disgusted at this; in a country where a few people have almost all of the money and so many people have nothing at all, someone actually looks down who doesn't spend more than they need to. Worse even, this is passed off as humor. I felt like turning off the TV at that point, but due to my strong curiosity, in other words, my desire to find out if this garbage got any worse forced me to keep watching. Fortunately, it didn't, but I still couldn't muster up the effort to watch attentively after that first half hour. The plot is so stupid and far-fetched that it's almost a waste of space to put it in writing here, but I feel that I must warn others, deter them from watching this utter mess. Aniston, as just mentioned, can't get a promotion if she doesn't start spending more money. Her friend knows this, so she does what any sensible person would do for their best friend... she uses a big, fat lie to get her the promotion. She tells the boss that Aniston is engaged to be wed. Apparently, this also makes her attractive to a guy she's in love with... like I said, I didn't pay much attention to it. Not much else to say... the acting is fair. Jay Mohr(who I am a fairly big fan of, and because of whom I watched the film at all) does very good, as usual. The film isn't really worth watching, for any reason at all. I recommend this only to huge fans of one of the leads and girls who sob over even the most ridiculous love story. No one else should bother. 1/10
