Quirky Rom. Com.
1 July 2014
Warning: Spoilers
The beginning shows several friends from the prestigious NYU before, during, and post their graduation during 2001 and the beginning credits. After that ends, it shows all of those friends, within other people during that friendship, or alone, after that graduation. Ashely and Daniel, two in the group are to be married in Georgia on Ashley's grandfather's plantation. The friends all rally around them and decide to go. The movie has multiple story lines all going on at once which is confusing but quite fun at the same time.

Howard and Billy were best friends, and Billy is seriously dating Victoria. Victoria and Howard have history, and Billy actually basically "stole her away" from Howard in his eyes. Billy wants to marry Victoria, but he wants Howard's approval before proposing to her. The tension between them is bitter to the point where there is no talking between the two guys. Billy has a company he is seeking investors for, and you see him fumble for these investors during the entire weekend.

Author Sarah, known as Doogs, is a sweet, Southern children's book author who is still a virgin and plans on saving herself for marriage. However, when running into classmate Joey, known as Fudge, she has second thoughts on her initial plan. The two go all around the little town around the plantation, and you see their relationship bloom.

Sam, an old friend who fell of the grid for traveling, shows up to the wedding unexpectedly. Sam sees an old lover of sorts, Amy, and finds out that she is married to Ryan, a quiet guy that's very protective. Throughout, you see the two pick up, fall down, and see Ryan get involved.

Cute, is the word I would use for this movie. It is just a nice rom. com. and I enjoyed it a lot. Totally recommend, and a great girls night movie, if put into a sub-category.
