A comedy that is not funny at all, but touches the heart everywhere

At first, I opened the DVD of this movie with the mentality of watching a comedy, but I didn't find it funny from the beginning to the end. Instead, I was deeply attracted by the plot and watched the ending with full attention.

I like this film very much. Although it is a typical Hollywood commercial comedy, the screenwriter's human brilliance and life wisdom are always flashing in the film, and many places are very touching.

I really liked a few episodes in the play:

Liv learned that Emma was engaged, and couldn't wait to go to Daniel's office to "propose" in the rain. Although Liv is a very strong woman, she is very loyal to herself and is not at all vague :)

Emma and Liv went to the wedding planner to set the wedding hotel and date, and the first thing she said to them was "A Wedding marks" the first day of the rest of your life. You have been dead until now."

Emma accompanied Liv to choose a wedding dress and saw a wedding dress that she liked very much, but she still insisted on wearing her mother's wedding dress. Liv said your mother's wedding dress is beautiful, but is it your dream or hers? Just buy her a box of chocolates on Mother's Day, but pick your own wedding dress. Emma said she didn't want to disappoint her mother. But on the wedding day, when my mother saw her wearing her own wedding dress, she was not particularly surprised. She said to Emma, ​​as long as you wear what you like, I will be happy, not necessarily my wedding dress. At this time, in Emma's eyes, she saw a little disappointment. ——Actually, what Liv said was right.

My favorite episode is when Liv goes to work with blue hair, gets embarrassed in the conference room, and finally breaks down. "Yes, My hair... my hair is blue. My hair is blue. My wedding's in a week, and I'm paying my maid of honor....And, yes, maybe my best firend in the world forever hates me!" Liv, who has always been a successful person, has finally begun to admit her failures in life after this experience, and her cuteness and honesty have left a very deep impression on people.

Liv and Daniel are a better pair than Emma and Fletcher. Because when Liv was "insanity" with blue hair, lying on the bed with a sad face, talking about how failed he was. Daniel can empathize with her, and they can communicate calmly during these high-stress times. Loved their dialogue:
Daniel: "You'll fix it. And if you can't, I love it. I do. You're like this very tall, very hot Smurf."
Liv: "It's not just about the hair. I'm mad because maybe she's right. And it's exhausting having to try to be perfect all the time. That's how I held it together ever since I was a kid. I figured nothing—nothing bad would happen again if I was just ...
Daniel: "Life isn't perfect, hon. It's messy."

Although I went to see this movie for Anne Hathaway. But I like Liv more than Emma before. Although Emma is more empathetic and considerate of others, she is too nervous to be true to her own feelings. Although Liv is a strong person and doesn't know how to advance or retreat, he can take the initiative to deal with his own feelings more truthfully. In the end, when Emma was finally able to brave her and Fletcher's awkward state and resolve it, she too, gained success from the marriage battle.

I really like the scene where Liv is chasing Emma in the park in the middle of the street in New York. I think the park is very beautiful and the background music is also very suitable.
