- The biggest flaw: why Ellen Pompeo's character would ever touch Luke Wilson's character, who spills a drink on her dress at the wedding after twenty years apart, is confronted on their date by a high-schooler in an Oakwood High jacket apologizing about her dad, breaks up her relationship with Mark, and has a kid to be stepfather to; the counterpoint is that she dated the scumbag Mark for two years, so her taste in men is terrible and she was barely fleshed out.
- Why Vince Vaughn's character would not be a cheater: they had to zip that up so he stays within normal behavior, otherwise he is Satan; the scene where the girl kisses him and he pulls back is one of the best and weirdly well acted.
