Comment: Enjoyable, but the ending is predictable and leaves you with a big so what. I cannot stand Sarah Jessica Parker, so her performance meant nothing to me and fortunately other cast members had better roles. The ending also makes one wonder why the movie began with the focus on the new couple the way it had, because the movie changed shape so much by the end. Which makes one feel like scenes were cut for theatrical release, and would therefore hopefully make a better DVD rental.

Comment: This was actually not all that bad. Funny in an unexpected way, and was actually ok.

Comment: If you liked Pulp Fiction...or even the wannabe films Go, and Snatch...then you should see this mashing of five stories...it is really good. Aside from a few possibly sick/gross scenes, this is relatively easier to watch than those previously mentioned.
