Life Partner

I don't know why I saw this movie. Possibly because it was a Sunday afternoon and I the best I could find on TV was this movie.
There is a divorce lawyer who does not believe in marriages. He runs his business by trying to get couples apart and then grant them divorce by fighting their cases. There are two couples his friends.
One Tusshar Kapoor and Prachi Desai. An arranged-love marriage. Tusshar cannot stand up to his father's baseless rules and regulations and a girl of modern ideas Prachi cannot fight against her father in law single handed. Finally she leaves him and our lawyer 'friend' Govinda gets them a divorce.
Second couple is Fardeen who falls in love with Genelia who is a rich spoilt brat. She cannot even operate a washing machine because she thinks that is the work of a servant. Issues between these two after marriage escalate and again our lawyer 'friend' comes to their rescue and gets them a divorce.
But, the twist in the story is that now Govinda falls in love with Amrita Rao. Now he suddenly begins to believe in love and the institution of marriage. So much so that he devises a plan and gets the other broken couples to realise their mistakes and get back together.
Wow! what an impressive plot right?
Performances are too artificial. You cannot take in for a moment what each character is trying to enact. The only actor who has done what she is paid for i.e. has acted is Prachi.
I'll say, maybe I shouldn't even write a review for a movie like this, but then I'll save you people the torture of sitting through the movie.
