I'm a guy, who happens to love "chick flicks." This one was more enjoyable than most, as the characters are well developed and, for the most part, likable. While Kerry Russell is both convincing and gorgeous throughout the movie, Adrienne Shelly's handling of her character's "five minute date" is what brought plenty of chuckles to the audience. Applause also goes to Andy Griffith, in a role as the grumpy old man, who is also very wise.

Liked this movie immensely. Well-written and well-acted, thought-provoking, empowering to women. Shows us that while some people are exactly as they appear on the surface, some people are not and we may have to dig a little deeper to find out what's really going on and be rewarded for doing so. Also shows that the things we're dreading the most can be the most rewarding. While it's not a silly blockbuster, I'm not sure it's a guy movie but, I still like to support independent films and I highly recommend it.

This was more than just a funny movie. It showed the transformation of an already fascinating character into the person she always wanted to be. Keri Russell was phenomenal. I would absolutely watch this movie again.

This movie boasts a great cast, particularly the 3 waitresses Kerri Russell (Jenna, the protagonist), Cheryl Hines as a tarty overbleached aging waitress and the late Adrienne Shelley as Dawn (she was also writer & director). The dialogue is funny and frank, the southern accents and charmy are never too syrupy for this Northerner and the desolution in Jenna's voice, manner and spirit to her unfortunate lot in life rings realistic and true. The tryst with the OB is presented in an usually hilarious way and you know that part of Jenna's allure to the good doctor is definitely her pies which are baked with passion and named according to her particular emotion that day (Damn Baby is going to Ruin My Plan to Leave Earl pie is one). The pregnancy complicates Jenna's plan to leave her insecure abusive wad of a husband Earl but it's what fuels a lot of the story. Andy Griffith is excellent as a curmugdeonly old man who only Jenna knows how to handle and Adrienne's Dawn is sweet & awkward.

I loved this movie. It is hilarious and heartwarming. Keri Russell portrays a pregnant woman who's struggling as a waitress to try and make enough money to get out of an abusive relationship. This movie is a can't-miss. Great to see with family, on a date, or a girl's night out.
