I usually don't care for chick flicks and avoid them but this one I actually enjoyed. Sure it doesn't exactly make for pleasurable viewing when the subject matter is a bit too close for home but I'm still glad I watched it. To be honest I wouldn't have even bothered if it hadn't of been on tv in the first place.
I thought it would be something quite cheesy and stupid like a lot of hollywood chick flicks but unlike a lot of them this isn't about some love story between a pathetic couple to roll your eyes at (another reason why I watched it).
The acting wasn't that bad, the story line was pretty good, there was character growth (not depth, growth) and the cheese factor was pretty low. All in all I think the makings for a good chick flick.
