From From the Onion’s AV Club “Not since Gigli has the real-life chemistry between two stars ignited the screen (and burned it to cinders) like this Vince Vaughn-Jennifer Aniston romantic comedy.”

“While adults of all ages have endured the economic and social changes brought by post-industrialization, today’s young adults are the first to experience its full weight as they try to start their adult lives. But the challenges facing young adults also reflect the failure of public policy to address the changing realities of building a life in the 21st century. Government no longer has our back. As young adults today are working to get into the middle class, they’re being hit by a one-two punch: The economy no longer generates widespread opportunity, and our public policies haven’t picked up any of the slack.”
