Nothing original in this movie and some characters act like total idiots, but some others are endearing.

I loved it when it came out, I had the DVD & saw it several times. I just rewatched for the 1st time in many years, it’s still just as good.

One of my favourite films, it may be because of the cast or the story, but it's, definitely, worth watching.

Don't expect too much, but you get what you need from rom coms.

Such a cozy, comfort movie. Love how chaotic it is.

If you’re looking for a feel good film, this is it. If you’re looking for a stellar performance and story, look elsewhere.

The main line is good, but nothing special

I’ll try anything with Mandy Moore in it. Nice casting of her family, but overall this story about an overbearing mom is fairly forgettable.

A cute mother-daughter story but not much more than that. Good for a movie night with friends, I guess.
