Funny, I didn't know Ed Burns was attached to this when I put it in my Netflix Queue. Now that I looked that up, it makes sense. This definitely had the feel of Burns creation in that it wanted to be really good, but it just couldn't make it there. I am unsure if it is due to weak dialogue or bad acting because the actors involved are seasoned enough to be good or very good. Maybe it was the editing as the timing of some of the scenes seeemed rushed;especially when Selma Blair's character and her awful, misshapen, and mean chef husband appeared. OH MY GOD, Donal Logue played the chef husband from Tao of Steve! So funny, I didn't recognize him because of the glasses and his thick accent.. maybe Donal is a good actor after all! Hear that Hollywood, cast Donal Logue! The story centers around 2 pairs of best friends from college who remain that way, 2 women, 2 men. They all dated in the past and run into one another one eve in NYC and become interested in each other's lives again. Not original, but Edward Burnesque. SOME of the dialogue was funny, some not. Debra Messing wasn't used to her capacity, and Selma Blair was the lead, both interesting choices.
I give it a 2 out of 10. (the only element that interested me was that 2 of the characters were writers, but they weren't compelling characters in the least, again, bad dialogue, no depth)
