This was a really good movie. I usually avoid "chick flicks" but this was really good, not sappy or gooey. Yes, it made me get all sniffly and teary-eyed, but I still enjoyed it. Not preachy, the leads don't jump into bed, and no vomiting!
It was great seeing Martin Sheen as the father-in-law. He is great as always. Aaron Eckhart and Jennifer Anniston were well matched. Dan Fogler did a great job as the sidekick/best friend of Burke (Aaron). He was occasionally annoying but it consistent with his character. Judy Greer as Marty, Eloise's (Jennifer) friend/employee, was funny and quirky without being irritating or overdone.
The acting was solid all the way around. Humor, sadness, facing the loss of a loved one, getting on with your life - very touching, but not overdone in my opinion. I really felt for Walter played wonderfully by John Carroll Lynch.
I had one small nitpick moment with a scene with the bird, but I won't say more than that. Other than that one bit, completely enjoyable movie. I recommend it whole-heartedly.
