I liked the cast overall - who doesn't love a British romcom? The main characters were absolute prats, though, and deserved each other (and I don't mean that in a good way!).
They both toy with each other and other people in their lives until they - predictably - end up together, but not before hurting just one more person.
I mean, Carrie knew what she was doing when she came to his wedding, and told him ON HIS WEDDING MORNING that she was separated. She knew he loved her, and now that she was alone (without her gold mine husband), she didn't want to lose him, but of course, his wedding day was the perfect time to tell him she was available... roll eyes SMH for that. She also cheated on her fiancé with him... and he went along with it!
What's more, he stood up his bride to be on the wedding day AT THE ALTAR just because Carrie shows up! Seriously.
Overall, they come across as really shallow people who don't care if/how they hurt others in their own pursuit of happiness. No regard for anyone else (including each other!)
I did love his group of friends though - what an interesting bunch! They are the only reason I'm giving this movie 6/10!
Also, not much chemistry between Andie M. and Hugh G. ... and he played the hapless character he always plays.
