While most chick flicks follow a hapless heroine on her quest for love, this one digs deeper, leaving men on the sidelines and instead exploring the bond shared by two very different sisters. I’m not familiar with the book it was based on, but the characters in the film (superbly played by Toni Collette and Cameron Diaz) are much more richly drawn than your average chick lit heroines. Definitely one of the most rewarding girly films I’ve seen in a while, and yes, I called my sister as soon as I got out of the theater.
