Six Degrees

Hollywood is fast becoming an insider playground, as evidenced by the number of people in this movie who have shown up together in others.

Kevin Smith and Jennifer Garner were also both in Daredevil. Kevin Smith and Timothy Oliphant were also in Die Hard 4.0.

Anyway, the main plot of this movie is that Garner's fiance dies days before their wedding, and then he finds out about his secret life, supporting a woman and child in another state. Not really original. There's also something taken for granted about their living arrangement, she living in a house with his two best friends after the funeral, and a third guy who works in that other state, and knows about the secret life.

By the way, that dead fiance is never shown, not even in pictures, a running 'gag' throughout the movie.

One bright spot here is that Kevin Smith finally spews himself some of the witty banter he puts in other people's mouths in his other films.
