Good movie, particularly if your just married or are planning to get married. It suffers from lack of character development however, typical of a lot of these writer-director made movies; not enough feedback in the writing process. It would have been a much better movie if it was a 1/2 hour longer. There are some inconsistencies, also. Jake is a writer and you would expect that a writer would be a deeper thinker than his character, Jake only comes to a reconciliation of himself after events happen to him, rather than before. The movie would have been much better if Kristies character had been more developed. Adding some scenes between her and a close girlfriend to develop her character better would be the way to do that. She comes across in the movie as somewhat of a bitch, since none of her motivations for doing anything are explained - what attracted her to Jake wasn't even explained in the movie, which is pretty strange considering they are newlyweds.
