The ORB's take: Should have remained a book and only a book.

Movie Review:
Based on a line of bestselling books that were featured in an episode of "Sex and the City" with the same title, this should have been an indication of how bad this movie was going to be. The movie provides a notable cast with Drew Barrymore, Jennifer Aniston, Jennifer Connelly, Scarlett Johansson and Ben Affleck, which you would have thought that this movie would have given you at least a couple of laughs or even be a slight bit entertaining, but what you get is just the opposite. Justin Long (that nerd from the Mac vs. PC commercials) stars in this movie as well; to give you an example of how NOT funny this movie was, I was actually hoping that in some point in this film that the "PC Guy" would have jumped out and said some pointless commercial comment to humor me (and we can all agree that the commercial is not funny). This movie could have ran the closing credits after 5 minutes and you would have seen everything there was to see in this flick and would have been happy that you didn't waste 2 hours of your time watching it. I expected more from the director of a successful funny show "The Office" but I received an equivilant to an ABC After School Special. To all you ladies out there wondering if it just because I am a guy that I thought this movie was horrible, the comment "That movie was stupid!" came from my wife seconds after the movie was over and she loves these types of movies. When this comes out on video, rent something you have already seen, before you rent this movie.

What to Watch For: The end credits!
