With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Aimed squarely at people who love relationship stories and anyone in the mood for a love story. Relationships are put under a microscope, for better or worse. Shelve it next to Father of the Bride or Funny Girl.
- The mood
- Funny with heart, romantic.
- The pace
- Character-first and patient, at 1 hr 50 min.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1945: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.
Susan is about to be married, but the wedding may get called off after her fiancé summons three former beaus. Each reveals a different portrait of Susan: one describes her as a naive country girl who reluctantly becomes an actress, another paints a picture of a gay party girl and and the third describes a serious intellectual.
