Not!

Rating: Null/10 (12 June 2004)

I'd heard such wonderful things about this film-and now I'm relieved that I didn't even pay for the DVD rental (a friend lent it to me). Maybe you just have to see it in the theater close to Christmas. But I don't think so.
The movie has a wonderful, star-filled cast. The problem is none of them are used enough. There are just too many stars and stories and not enough depth. Consequently, not only viewers sometimes confused, they don't care enough about any of these "people."
Another problem is the time period; in five weeks all these people recover from betrayal, death, etc. and find (new) love?! This aspect might have worked had there been, as said above, few story lines. This many people-whose lives all intersect (isn't that just so cool?)-finding true love? No, way.
The few humorous moments don't make up for the drudgery. Don't bother with this movie.
