I think I could write a thesis on the love-hate relationship with this movie. I hate how horrible Diane Keaton and Rachel Mcadams character are to Sarah Jessica Parker. Yet SJPs character is so annoying she practically asks for it. Claire Danes coming to the house is just weird. The sibling swap is awful. Then there is the Dermot Mulrooney hotness all over the place. The pretty snowy scenes. The cute chick flick moments. Then we get the ending that makes me sob. And yet when it's on, I always watch it.

I feel like the cancer was an unnecessary plot device that took away from the actual point of the movie. But I thought that dinner scene with the whole family was very well-acted by everyone.
I dislike SJP as an actress so much anymore. Her old school stuff doesn't bother me, but I feel like she overacts and tries too hard now. Kind of like Jennifer Aniston. I just never find their characters believable. I watch this movie if it's on but I wouldn't seek it out- I think it's just so overwrought

I feel this way too. I posted quite a bit about it at Christmas time, when I was watching entirely way too many holiday movies, LOL.
