Jenny Farrell (Katherine Heigl) is getting married. But how will her straight-laced family react when they find out that the woman they thought was their daughter’s roommate is actually her fiancée? As the old-fashioned Farrells attempt to come to terms with the prospect of a surprise daughter-in-law, they face a difficult choice: either adapt with the times or risk being left behind. Alexis Bledel and Academy Award nominee Tom Wilkinson co-star in this wise, warm, and witty comedy.

i saw the movie about  two years ago, was really excited about the movie , but was  disappointed after seeing it.  great script but wack acting.  the connectedness and aura that's usually exhibited/seen in same sex relationship was lacking deeply, they seemed more like distanced  friends than lovers. I'm not sure they shared a kissed at all, I think its was only during the dance scene,they Pecked. The  movie was just boring, if i am to rate it, on a scale of one to ten,  I'd give a 4. don't get me wrong  katharine heigl is a great actress I'm a huge fan of hers, but pertaining this particular movie, she flopped horribly. 

i think she should stick with the traditional/regular type of movie.

They did, that's how jenny's sister found out about her sexuality (saw them kissing). The acting could have been better but I definitely enjoyed the movie and the message it conveyed.

I have watched and forgotten how the movie is sef,  I think I prefer ALTO to this movie talking about same sex connectivity, family and friends pressure and so.

Okay, I get your reservation about the movie not portraying that same sex "aura and connectedness" 🙂🙂like you said, but I love to think that the movie was trying to shed more light on family and society acceptance on same sex relationship, which I believe was beautifully scripted and excellently portrayed.

This movie is boring imo. Suffered through it. Took me over a week to finish it. Only saw it through because i kept hoping and hoping for something that eventually didn't come.

Gonna score it 4 and only because i love Heigl.

Yeah, you need to set your expectations for this movie. I rated it a 7/10 because it was about her family's reaction and not about her relationship. Did a review here a few years ago

This is funny...just saw the movie this night and I liked it. I think the film was centred on her struggles not just in convincing her family but herself. It was only later in the movie that she had a form resolve to go on with the wedding irrespective of what her parents had to say.:597f82538c2cb_tw_confounded1: Can totally relate to that struggle.
