21 March 2008. It's the performance and presence of Frances McDormand that not saves the day, it also saves the movie. This light hearted drama offers up traditional romantic stereotypes where Amy Adams is cast in a Nicole Kidman-like character who seems to be in the middle of a juggling act between three men. In this juggling act, comes Frances McDormand's character whose screen presence and unfortunate series of events thrust her into this predictable, but entertaining role whose responsibility is to present calamity from happening. All of the characters seem to get their due and this predictable movie ends up with the usual sense of contentment that McDormand does save the day. Seven out of Ten Stars.
