Eight different plotlines in this story merge together to create a feel-good film, but the fact that there’s too many stories to follow results in a movie that’s more of a people-pleaser rather than creating a nice aura. The star-studded cast must have cost a fortune to film, and with Bon Jovi performing I can only think that it was an actual live concert with free tickets passed out to everyone in part payment for the picture. Some might have even just passed by and got roped in. The secretary story was a bit pathetic and it would have been nice to have seen a backstory to understand her character. There’s a sense of goodwill as everything turns out just right for everyone and there’s no losers which is just what we want in a Tinseltown film, but there’s no serious conflict and not a lot of originality here.
