iariaI enjoyed it. It was very fun.
+ I loved everything about Stephanie/Emily. I love how twisted and complicated they ended up being. I love that there were genuine feeling between them. Stephanie checking in that they really were best friends while Emily had a gun on her was great. The scene at the graveyard was excellent.
+ I really want to know how things could have gone differently if when Stephanie opened up about her husband and brothers deaths and her guilt it had lead to Emily opening up to Stephanie about her past.
+ I'm glad that Stephanie vs Emily didn't come down to a fight over Sean. That it was always about their relationship.
+ Blake Lively was so freaking hot in this movie. She's always gorgeous of course but Emily's costuming was amazing.
+ I enjoyed Stephanie's search for the truth and how she played Emily in the end. I loved her secret vlog message aimed at Emily.
+ Events seemed to happen way too quickly, though the exact timeline was a little obscured, and that didn't entirely work for me. I mean how long was it after Emily's funeral that Stephanie and Sean were exchanging 'i love yous'? I did not buy it and I think the movie shows it for how false/shallow it was. I guess all the mistrust and uncertainty between the three of them would be less likely if the relationships themselves were deeper.
+ Darren running to Stephanie's rescue at the end was great and I loved that the other 'moms' weren't the bitchy judgmental clique I would have expected. But him hitting Emily with his car like that felt a bit too much over the edge into slapstick comedy.
