The first time I saw this film when it first came out, I loved it. It made me laugh, I loved the romance, despite the negative reviews, I thought it was a good film.
However throughout the years, the more I've watched it, the more I dislike the characters.
If Dex and Darcy had been dating and engaged for a couple of years, that would be one thing and more understandable. But they've been together for SIX years and Rachel hasn't only found anyone else to date, ever, but Dex and Darcy have spent many years together and now they're about to get married and buy a house. And Rachel and Dex have finally been honest about their feelings for each other all these years and they finally get to make love and all that Jazz.
I looked over the cheating part when I first watched it, thinking they deserved to be with each other and how Darcy wasn't that great if a person. But rewatching it, they're all not that great of people. The only logical, decent person is Ethan. And he's completely right when he tells Rachel that Dex is being a douche, just leading her on, and she's acting like a pathetic, no self-esteem girl.
The ending is fitting, but I think Dex needs to be single for a bit. He jumps from a six year engagement straight into a relationship with Rachel. I think if there was a sequel, he would act scared and dip out before their wedding as well.
But if you're looking for a corny chick flick with John Krasinki, give it a go. Just know, he's the only decent fella in the movie.
