Going to see "One for the Money" at the theater later. I can't believe it's only getting 2 stars. I'm still excited to see how they filmed the Burg! Anyone see the movie? What did you think

Goodreads provides friend recommendations, so I always click "add friend." I love reading everyone's recommendations and comments on the books. Do you choose friends based on number of books in common or number of friends in common or just randomly? I want to see recommendations from people who have a LOT of books in common with me (shared interest) AND people who I don't have books in common with (something new!) How do you add friends?
