The movie stars Missi Pyle (As Good as it Gets, Galexy Quest), Josh Hopkins (Cougar Town tv, Brothers and Sisters tv), Melissa McCarthy (Mike & Molly tv, The Nines), Jack Noseworthy (Surrogates, Mojave Moon), Octavia Spencer (The Nines, Being John Malcovich) Larry Sullivan, Phil Lewis (The Suite Life of Zack and Cody).
The plot of the movie is Pyle invites her best friends from college to go on a hike with her to finish loosing a lot of weight (the friends think she is dying). It is shooting for something like what I remember The Big Chill as being.
I rate this movie as a D. Pyle gets her friends there on a shady premise, a lie. And when the friends gets there all they do is bitch. It is hard for me to see them as friends. They come across as hating each other. It just did not work for me. They did not come across as friends at all. I supose the flip side is the ability to be honest with friends and tell them the truth. For me they came across as people who have grown so far apart that I cant see them as friends at all.
My advice is go out and stream The Big Chill. Even though I have not seen any part of the Big Chill in at least 20 years I feel safe in saying its a better movie.
