Adding to the poignance is the terrific, natural chemistry between Aniston and Rudd.

The shift in focus defuses what might have been fresh in the story.

Director paces movie too languidly and dulls most of the emotional punches with the result being a film bordering too often on blandness when its strength is its risk taking.

The film effectively drives home the point that, when forced to choose, most people - even nice ones - will chase their own dreams instead of fulfilling someone else's.
