I can't really say I enjoyed the film much, though I wanted to see Sarah Jessica Parker as I am a fan of her Carrie Bradshaw in Sex and the City. However, I'm not sure if it was the film itself, or my lack of knowledge about Ray and Manhattan (the former I didn't even know existed). Though you may just need to know "Manhattan is a big rich town, and Ray is a small poor town". Another thing enticing me to see the film was the bear thing in the trailer... but don't worry, in this case, the funny part isn't just in the trailer... there's more bears where this comes from. This is my type of film, and it's a little different from most fish-out-of-water comedies because this time, they're not only dealing with a new lifestyle, they were already in trouble and have even more on their mind. Nonetheless, I can't really say how much I liked this film due to lack of knowledge of the subject matter.
The film got a PG-13 rating, but nothing really dominates in this film. As mentioned before, Vincent wields a gun and almost shoots Meryl, and they get stalked by bears in Wyoming, though Meryl accidentally sprays Paul with the bear repellent... in the eyes. Meryl mentions she slept with the man she cheated on Paul with. There's a bit of drinking, and some mild profanity (2 s-words).
I say just make it a rental unless you are a devoted fan of SJP or Hugh Grant, or have a wider knowledge of the subject matter than I do. Also, there's some audio after the credits, so stay tuned.
