A self-centred family drama with some genuinely comic elements, but mostly occurring through the supporting cast. The main story about the thwarting of a wedding is routine leading to mawkish. It's an entertaining enough film, however, in its depiction of the social and romantic aspects of Upper East Side New Yorkers, as well as the broken relationships of the affluent elite.

Chronically Boring!
Slow, plodding, boring, and depressing. I stopped watching half way through, just couldn't take any more "I'm sorry" every other scene.
Instead, go empty the trash and clip your toe nails, at least you'll get something done.
Chronically Metropolitan
Well the title fits the film. Chronically self absorbed wealthy New Yorkers. It's hard to really care about a young published author from a wealthy family when NYC is so full of unpublished poor authors. It's also hard to tell the difference between the cute young blondes in the movie. This movie is basically about "white peoples problems." I also suspect the tobacco industry paid a lot for product placements. There is a lot of gratuitous smoking in the film for no other apparent reason.
