It was on tonight, I saw bits of it, both enough and not enough. I saw the end. Sarah ends up with Luke? and Claire Daines ends up w/Dermont? had there been a prior relationship (tween Claire and Dermont) and what was Diane Keaton ‘secret’? thanks ---

Yes Sarah ended up with Luke; Clare Danes ended up with McDermott. Keaton’s character was dying, of cancer probably, and wasn’t there for the next Christmas. Did you like this movie? I thought it was a waste of a lot of good talent, but to each their own. ---

Thanks (and for corrections of names)- no. I hated it but wondered about those points- enough to post and ask, not enough to spend the buck and 2 hours to rent/watch it. thanks! ---

It was a whole family of assholes, being assholish to their son’s asshole girlfriend, because she wasn’t the same kind of asshole they were. ---

Great summary, Batsinma! Have you seen the new Will Smith movie? Maybe you can sum up that one for me ---

I can’t really argue with that, and yet I liked it for some reason; against my will, almost. Maybe just because it made my girlfriend laugh, and I like to see her happy.
