I am shamelessly intrigued. So what!? ....

I will watch this just because of the cast. If this had Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock I would pass in an instant.

Slightly over done premise but with that cast I see potential

Adam Scott though gives me a creeper vibe though

Was Chris O'Dowd trying to do an american accent? Because it wasn't working.

I wonder how this movie will end!?!

I think.......theyre going to end up together.......Yeah, something tells me their going to end up together.

Saw this already. And I enjoyed it immensely. Adam scotts really does a fantastic preformance and is suprisngly emotinal at times contrary to his more for lack of a better word dead-pan delivery and facial expressions (Which isn't a bad thing it's just the way he usally comes across on the screen for me). Also Hamm is also a highlight bring kind a modern Don Draper to the tabel. Anyway it's funny, entertaining, kinda heartwarming too and well acted for the most part on all fronts. Worth watching despite a really lackluster trailer which other than showing off the cast doesn't represent the feel of the movie that well.

tl:dr. Movie is good. 4/5.

Looks like a cute, sweet film that I'll probably love! (: has an awesome cast, I love seeing Megan Fox! I have missed her <3

@FelixCulpa: I've seen it as well, though I feel very differently to you. Considering the people involved I just didn't find it all that funny, save a few brief moments. It never felt like it was going anywhere but to it's inevitable, rom-com conclusion, and Wiig and Hamm's appearances are so brief that I found it impossible to feel any emotional resonance with their characters and their situation. It has it's moments, and Adam Scott is pretty good, but besides from that I found is rather lacklustre and unfunny; which is criminal given the talent on show. I guess that's why it's taken so long for it to even appear on the radar.

Looks like the 2012 movie that both my lady friend and I can enjoy. It was Bridesmaids last year, and if this continues the tradition, I'm good with that.

@ElectricBoogaloo: Yeah I might have focused on the positive feelings in my comment since I felt the trailer made the movie seem rather poor. There were certainly problems to be found but I was positively surprised by it. Just kinda saw it on a whim because of the cast. However I can't deny I found it funny and I think it managed to stay away from most rom-com cliches.

I know, right. Surely in a movie like this, where the character's nationality really doesn't matter, everyone could just use their own accents. I really like him, and I'm actually interested in this movie, but I think I'd be distracted the whole time listening to hear O'Dowd's Irish accent come through.

On another note this looks like it'll be really contrived and with what seems like an obvious conclusion....but hey it could have some funny moments with that cast.

Jon Hamm, Kristen Wiig, Ben Schwartz, Maya Rudolph and others? This will be great.

Jennifer Westfeldt not casting Jon Hamm as her on-screen love interest is a missed opportunity.

MISSED OPPORTUNITY

I've been waiting for Megan Fox to reborn again as an actress. She's too pretty, it would be such a waste.

One step at a time, Ms. Fox.

AssInAsson Jan. 21, 2012 at 5:02 a.m.

This just screams gimmicky romcom. I'd rather watch Away We Go if I want a comedy drama about a couple about to have kids.

excited about jon hamm, not so much about megan fox...
