Being a fervent supporter of romance comedy, naturally this will not escape my eyes. In fact, if you would do to google the reviews of this movie, it does not get pass the notch of a "C" grade movie. However, in my eyes there is never a bad or a good movie. Clearly based on perception. In this movie, we do learn a few things here and there about life as a general rule. No lies, no deception to people for it will get back to us.

Paula (Sarah Jessica Parker) has a rather unusual career. Her job is to get sons to shift out of their parents' house with a given deadline. However, till she met Tripp (Matthew McConaughey) when things starts to turn around.

Tripp's parents engaged Paula to rid their son off their house. Tripp is clearly very financial sufficient as a shipping agent however he just enjoys the comfort of his parents around mothering and fathering him. Whenever he wants to break off with his girlfriends, he would bring his dates home to break off with them for in the Western culture it is highly abnormal for adults especially working adults to still be staying with their parents and leeching off them which is a clear sign to women the man is a mummy's boy and not capable of commitment.

Paula eventually fell in love with Tripp. One unlucky day, while she was seeing a client in a cafe, she accidentally met a friend of Tripp's and the truth was finally revealed to Tripp on her intention to get him to move out from his parents' house but she has never been serious with him.

Conclusion:
As such we could see honesty at every level in relationships be it wil your love ones or family is therefore so important for it may backfire on us when we least expects it.
