This was less of a comedy than I thought it would be. It was actually quite melancholy. The characters were real. The whole giving the photos to the deceased woman's daughter after befriending her was slightly odd in the movie. Maybe I missed something. Maybe it was there so that Emily Blunt's character could release her pain of her mother's suicidal death when she was a young child. This was a really sad movie. I really liked it, it had its moments. The characters sometimes lacked honesty when there should have been the truth told. I really liked the guy with the missing arm. The last thing I would ever want to do is try to impress people from high school that I'm not a loser, but have made something of myself some 10 years later. They can suck it for all I care. What people think of you, especially the people who really talk shit about you behind your back are not worth the time. Maybe it's a small town thing. Who knows. I would prefer not running into people I graduated with. Amy Adams' is beginning to be typecasted for some doe-eyed thing that is naive to something or other. I would love to see her play something edgier or fierce. It's about time she does something new.
