pretty much every time she got in a car, she said herself she'd been drinking the whole time. :rolleyes:

and when she offered to give Buddy a ride home when she'd drunk just as much and the wife went along with the suggestion WTF?!
I know this is what really frustrated me!!![spoiler]Even when she went around the first time to their house, her coldness towards the baby came across and surely did the mother not notice it? And then she went bragging about how she wore Buddy's t-shirt implying the hot passionate sex they had so many nights and again it didn't seem to bother her at all. And after all that, she was okay with her giving Buddy a ride home even though her friends had picked up on her behaviour. And surely she must have known the girl had just as much to drink as Buddy. She seemed quite ditsy.[/spoiler]

I mean, seriously???? f**king hell, if my Celini ever b*ght an ex home who behaved like that, I'd have ripped their tongue out.

I think a_p sums up the problem on why this film is no Juno or Up in the Air, the main character is just played in a quite unlikeable way with few redeeming qualities

Yeh she was. She was a psycho in that one if I remember correctly. Took poor Alex Karev for a ride.

She was also in the Good Wife. She was Will's girlfriend / bit on the side.

Mmmmmm KFC. Must have one tomorrow though I was so close to taking a detour back home.
Thought it was BK tomorrow? :confused:
As Yinster wrote earlier we were seated together and struggled at times to stay awake!
I think there was some merit in the story of the girl who went to the big city and became a success [spoiler]but was really the failure as she was so unhappy and yearned for good relationships.[/spoiler] The character was not an appealing one and she got what she deserved! I agree with others who have added this to the list of poor films for the start of 2012. Comedy? Definitely not! They should be sued under the Trades Description Law!
Score 3/10

that'd be quite boring if we all had the same taste/ideas, don't you think?
