For those of you who don’t know the title of the movie came from a Sex and the City episode.Greg Behrendt wrote a book using the title and had a bestseller. He also ended up getting a talk show for a brief period and he also has a cameo in the movie as a priest. Talk about seizing the day.
The movie starts out with the worst advice a mother can give to a daughter. It continues with poor advice from friends who seem to know it all but do not have their stuff together in their own relationship. It was somewhat interesting to see familiar actors deal with lust and the ramifications of giving in to it. However the performances are dull with the exception of Scarlett Johansson who acts the same way she did in Vicky Christina Barcelona, sexy vamp. Lead character Ginnifer Goodwin as Gigi, from HBO’s Big Love, is the only bright spot in the movie.
The film drags and it seems like it will never end. No need to run and see it. You are not going to learn anything that you don’t already know and it is very predictable. The only thing I learned was that one of my favorite actors has never been married and he is allegedly very happy.
Verdict: It’s just OK.
