Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

With almost no lasting buzz and a lukewarm 48% audience score, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Aimed squarely at anyone who's survived a family wedding and anyone in the mood for a love story. Relationships are put under a microscope, for better or worse. Same wavelength as Bridesmaids.
The mood
Light and funny, romantic.
The pace
Quick and easy-going, at 1 hr 28 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • Rated R: expect sex.
  • Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.

A commitment-averse man frantically hits the dating scene after his girlfriend starts pressuring him to pop the question.
