• Concentrating on the fine-tuned trivia that fuels so much television comedy, it also creates two bright, appealing heroines and watches them face life's little insults with fresh, disarming humor.

• Rarely does a first film depict characters who seem so comfortably familiar, and even less frequently are these characters three-dimensional women.

• It's a downright refreshing experience to be presented with people you can identify with, recognize yourself in them, without being asked to like them.

• Only once dipping into huggy sentimentality, we are happily spared the run-of-the-mill best mates saga the premise threatens. Instead this is a deeper and wonderfully engrossing picture with characters easy to sympathise with

• One thing I like about the film is the way it teasingly introduces elements that, in other films, would lead to big dramatic formulas, and then sidesteps them.
