Overall Review: 2 out of 5

Plot:
Michael (Zach Braff) and Jenna (Jacinda Barrett) have been together for three years and have been thinking about getting married and starting a family. Jenna is already 10 weeks pregnant while Michael is worried that his life and youth as he knows them are over for good. At a wedding of a friend, he meets a free-spirited college co-ed, named Kim (Rachel Bilson), who opens his eyes and tempts him.

Memorable Quote:
"What you feel only matters to you. It's what you do to the people you say you love, that's what matters. It's the only thing that counts."

My Thoughts:
Skip it. Seriously, the only reason I got this movie is because past Zach Braff movies were pretty good and the back of the DVD cover said this was a "hilarious, irresistibly genuine comedy". I don't know who wrote the cover but he was probably watching another movie.

This film was all about heartache, betrayal, anxiety and the art of hurting the ones you care for. It was full of cliches and not even trying to hide them. The characters are all taken out of standard overused situations and have no originality. The whole premise that Kim (the college co-ed) is attracted to Michael and is basically whoring it up is baseless and makes their relationship without any credibility.

The only highlight of the movie was the above mentioned quote. It a shame, really, because the movie had lots of potential. I guess the only people who will appreciate it are the true Zach Braff fanatics:
