This has been playing for quite some time, received good buzz, and has brought in over $80 Million at the WWBO.

I see why on all accounts, although this is probably more of a black comedy chick flick than the way it was originally marketed as some sort of dark thriller.

Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick are both excellent here.  The level of thought in the story is strong.  The twists and turns will keep you guessing, and eve when it's all said and done, you may still have some questions about character motivations and just who's good and who's bad.

I don't want to spoil anything, so I'll simply leave it at this...

This is a good movie and should appeal to a wide range of movie goers.  Go in as blind as you still can, and I think you'll be impressed.

This was fun!

Paul Feig knows how to get the most out of his actors. I found the twist teetered on being a little too ludicrous, but I think it still worked for the world it created.

I imagine this film would have been a lot more of a thrill had Gone Girl not existed. Then again, this movie probably would never have been made had it not been for Gone Girl.

All in all, it's undeniably entertaining and it caters to it's target audience well.
