The breakdown:  A girl's best friend sleeps with her fiance when she's a bit drunk on her birthday.  Based on a book by Emily Giffin.

From the reviews I saw on Rottentomatoes.com I wasn't expecting anything good of this movie.  It turns out, I don't agree with the critics this time.  I didn't love it, but it was good.
Basically there's these two girlfriends who have been friends for their whole lives.  One is a responsible brunette and goes off to law school to become a lawyer, the other one is a blonde self-centered girl and doesn't seem to do anything for a living, but she has money.
The brunette meets a great guy that she totally adores in law school, but she thinks he doesn't like her, when it's totally obvious he does.  She introduces him to her girlfriend, and the blonde tries to get him to ask her friend out first, but the brunette kinda' says well, we are just friends, so you go after him, when that's the last thing she really wants.  Anyway, he asks her if it's ok with her for him to pursue someone else, especially her best friend and she says yes, even though, she wants him for herself.  He ends up dating the blonde and proposing.  The brunette is now the maid of honor. 
On the brunette's birthday, a chance happening puts her and the guy alone and she spills her feelings to him, kinda' on a whim.  He responds by kissing her passionately and then they end up having sex at her place.
The characters are flawed, but so are we all in real life.  The storyline is a messy one, but so can real life plots be.  I thought it was realistic and not everyone will like the ending, but I think it's a realistic portrayal of flawed people making decisions that affect lots of people in good and bad ways.

3 and 1/2 out of 5 for a story that I ended up enjoying.
