Jennifer Garner stars in romcom about a woman who discovers her late fiance may not have been as perfect as she thought.
It's hard to recommend an 'OK' film, but here's my reasoning. Kevin Smith delivers one of his rare non-View Askew performances and easily walks away with the film, primarily just by eating things.
I love Jennifer Garner too - being a big fan of Alias (proudly) and also of 13 Going On 30 (more quiet about that one..), Garner has an 'everygirl' quality about her that is hard to define but always watchable - you root for her whatever her situation.
However, it's just this 'everygirl' quality that makes it hard for Garner to carry a film on her own (hence the sturdy support from Smith). And here she is lumbered with a bad script, the purpose of which seems to be to endorse being an arse, as even when you are found out, your loved ones will cherish their (now false) memory of you!
I'm a big fan of the three J's (Garner, Biel and Alba) and whilst it is good to see the latter two J's getting films to dig their teeth into lately, someone please give Mrs Affleck something a bit more worthy to do soon...
Reasonably watchable, quickly forgotten.

Romantic comedy starring Jennifer Garner. Grey (Jennifer Garner) is devastated when the man of her dreams, Grady, dies only a few days before they were to be married. With her wedding turned into an impromptu funeral, Grey is emotionally devastated but has to deal with the practicalities of her new life alone, including moving out of the house she shared with Grady. Short on cash and in need of emotional support, Grey moves in with two longtime friends, sloppy but philosophical Sam (Kevin Smith) and well-meaning but tightly wound Dennis (Sam Jaeger). As time passes, Grey discovers that Grady had a secret life he never shared with her and as she tries to come to terms with the past of her former fiancé, she struggles to put her life back on track.
