I saw this in a pre-screening with a few girlfriends. I thought it was predictable and they pushed the limits with the swearing just a little, to the point of it being distracting from the film itself, almost like they were just trying to push the envelope of PG-13 . So that's mostly the negative.
On the positive - there were some very funny parts that had us all laughing as a group and Rachel McAdams is always fun to watch - I adore her! The cast line up was great - I think Harrison Ford and Diane Keaton are a great pair, especially with their relationship in this film.
It was a great Girl's Night film, some guys may even enjoy it. I would say it was better than Maid of Honor or Failure to Launch, perhaps on a par with First Kiss or 27 Dresses...It's very typical and alike all the others of it's genre, so it's entertaining if you're into it. And ultimately it comes down to personal preference.
One goof I noticed a lot - and it's just who I am to notice. There were a few scenes that I could TELL had been spliced together over a few takes - strictly because Rachels hair was different in each one...like her bangs were swept to the side and pinned better in one shot than another, but then it would come back around to her and they'd be loose again...or her hair was up higher and then lower and then back up higher again...that sort of thing. Not a huge deal, didn't detract for me or anything, but I rather enjoy spotting those types of things. It wasn't anything like in Conspiracy Theory where he has the hat on, then off, then on again on the bus...or anything...just a hair difference.
