Dir.: Tony Goldwyn
ScPl: Paul Haggis ("Million Dollar Baby', "Crash")
This is about the fear of commitment, of a sense of finality about settling down to a life of responsibilities, of cessation of pleasures of freedom associated with bachelorhood, etc. The couple who are about to marry after three years of love must face up to these fears and must realize that they really care for each other.
Memorable Scene: At the end of the movie, the contrite Michael desperately sleeps on the steps of his own house for two days and two nights in an effort to win back Jenna's love. He braves the cold, starves himself for the duration and is completely unmindful of public embarrassment and humiliation of self-abasement he is reaping in the act.
Screenplay being by Paul Haggis (famous for two Oscar winners) does deliver on the promise in certain moments of the film.
