Is it just me or did anybody notice? the action stunts were great... but Nicholas with the girl was way too cheesy. Unexpected ending. -_-

None of them agrees to change the date and they become enemies, trying to sabotage the wedding party of the rival.


Enjoyed the whole movie! I absolutely love the soundtracks!!!! :)

Nice lines I enjoyed: "Ipods are for lonely people who can't stand to be alone with themselves."

"I like your hair. You're really like this tall, hot Smurf." awwww. so sweet!

"It was quite a wedding and as I stood there watching I realized something I'd forgotten a long time ago. Sometimes in life there really are bonds formed that can never be broken. Sometimes you really can find that one person who will stand by you no matter what. Maybe you will find it in a spouse and celebrate it with your dream wedding. But there's also the chance that the one person you can count on for a lifetime, the one person who knows you sometimes better than you know yourself is the same person who's been standing beside you all along.
