Collette, as the dependable career girl at a crossroads, is wonderful as usual. Diaz, as the party girl, does what she does best, looking cute in a variety of skimpy outfits. Shirley MacLaine is pretty much Shirley MacLaine and doesn’t have too much interesting to do. Disappointing work from director Curtis Hanson though it did fit the bill, helping me kill a couple of hours while I knit a scarf. [*** out of 5
2 Things @ Once 
I don’t understand. It sounds like you really did not care for this movie and yet you give it 3 stars. If I were to guess your star rating after reading the review I would have guess 2 stars at the most.
Yeah, I thought of that as I was writing it. I enjoyed Toni Colette’s performance enough to warrent 3-stars, but as time went on the overall effect of the film diminished.
