I didn't read the summary or watch the trailer beforehand, so when the supernatural stuff started happening, I had to double check to make sure I started the right movie.

I had fun watching this because a lot of the dialogue is funny, especially Lisa Kudrow and Parker Posey. I could take or leave the actual plot, but I can appreciate that they did something different with the couple-introduces-their-parents-before-getting-engaged set up.
