In the year’s first romantic comedy, Gray Wheeler (Jennifer Garner) was expecting to be on her wedding day and instead found herself at her fiancée’s funeral. But she’s got her best friends Sam (Kevin Smith) and Dennis (Sam Jaeger) to cushion the blow. She’s also got Fritz (Timothy Olyphant) who’s not so supportive. At least not on the surface, until the days following the funeral soon unravel that she’s not just stuck with unopened blenders and waffle irons, but also her late fiancée’s cell phone, hidden bank accounts and other secrets, including Maureen (Juliette Lewis). While this is not your typical, sappy, chic-flick attempting to reach beyond the Cinderella-happy-ending, it instead suffocates in a bad batch of pouting, whining and indecisive behavior. Kevin Smith however is the movie’s lone exception as the ideal funny man. Two tiaras.
