Plot Outline
After the sudden death of her fiancé, Gray Wheeler (Jennifer Garner) finds comfort in the company of his friends: lighthearted and comic Sam (Kevin Smith), hyper-responsible Dennis (Sam Jaeger), and, oddly enough, his old childhood buddy Fritz (Timothy Olyphant), an irresponsible playboy whom she’d previously pegged as one of the least reliable people in the world.

As secrets about her supposedly perfect fiancé emerge, Gray comes to see new sides of the man she thought she knew, and at the same time, finds herself drawn to the last man she ever expected to fall for.

Overall Impressions:
Nothing new is offered in the content of this film. As I suggested in my Namastey London post, this isn't necessarily a bad thing, however though it starts off well & keeps you gripped for about half of it, past this point, I felt the only thing keeping me going were the moments with Kevin Smith present.

As the comic relief he's the shining star of this one. I mean all-round the performances are pretty great, but when the characters aren't doing all that much, I find yourself checking my watch every 5 or 10 minutes and this is certainly bad, it's only the comedy that got me to the end, the more sentimental parts were too subtle, too bland in my opinion.

Just about held together by the performances rather than the content. (5 .5 out of 10)
