LOL! I also think this is one of the rare occasions where Cameron Diaz doesn't play Cameron Diaz. Every character she plays always feels the same to me, except this one. I think there is a happy ending as everyone ends up with the right person. A prime example of going with what works for the story, not what goes against it. Can't wait to get my hands on this book!

Though it is rather the anti-romcom, as Evangeline states. Obviously the heroine in GOTH gets her HEA with the right guy for her, once she gives up pursuing the wrong one.

And what a great inspiration for your GOTH! Although I must say, my favorite modern day romantic comedy is The Wedding Date (although it has a far more tradition plot.)

But it's enjoyable nonetheless as a movie about realizing that wanting something doesn't mean you deserve to have it and learning to be happy with and by yourself.

That scene is such a classic; it cracks me up every single time. I think what made that movie so enjoyable for me was that there were so many unexpected twists (like the fiancee being such a sweetheart that Julia Roberts' character couldn't hate her even though she really wanted to) and the dialogue was just fabulous.
