This generic sex comedy--about a guy who can't decide whether or not to marry his girlfriend because he's still obsessed with a girl he saw in an airport when he was a teenager--really has only one thing to recommend it: Ryan Reynolds (Coming Soon, Van Wilder). Reynolds plays the main character's horndog friend who becomes convinced he's gay, and while much of his material is of dubious taste and quality, Reynolds has a mixture of ironic detachment and actor commitment that makes the most of his role. Everyone else--Jerry O'Connell (as the obsessed guy), Bridgette L. Wilson (as his understandably frustrated girlfriend), Ron Livingston, Bill Bellamy, and Alyssa Milano--have their moments, but the script doesn't offer them much to work with. When it isn't drowning in clichés about men and women, it's trying way too hard to be "over the top." --Bret Fetzer

 Better than expected March 21, 2009
Vin B (USA)
Yes it falls into the fairly predictable romantic comedy genre; but if that's the genre you like, this is one of the best.
Stupid fun and has a positive message to boot! February 27, 2009
B. M Sullivan (New York, NY United States)
This movie is unoriginal, mindless, and completely stupid. Now that we have that out of the way, run out and watch this movie now! I'm serious, if you can get over the "bad" movie factor and just relax for five minutes you will enjoy this film. It is truly one of the great "bad" movies out there, perfect for a Sunday afternoon.
Have a beer, get over the cliches, the stereotypes, and sexist attitudes. At the end of the day, this movie has a truly positive message. Through all the BS that the sexes go through and put each other through, we all really are desperately seeking "true love." A chance to find that special someone that for some unknown reason just feels right in all possible ways. Sure, the movie's completely unrealistic, but there are plenty of laughs along the way and it at least reassures us that there really is true love out there, even if the movie is just a hollywood cliche.

this is a good screwball type of movie to watch. great actor's and actresses alike. especially the COW !
Ryan Renyolds' BARE BOTTOM FUN September 21, 2008
Cornelius G. Kelly (Albuquerque)
Yes, you do see Ryan's bottom but that's not the only reason to buy this DVD. He is also the funniest character and at one point confesses to himself in a mirror that he's gay. A light hearted romp with Reynolds.
milk it for all it's worth! June 18, 2008
Angel (L.A.)
I rent alot of movies...and I get disappointed alot too. I wasn't expecting much when I found this movie and rented it...but I found a gem! Just the cast alone is worth getting this movie - I thought they were all great and fit their roles. Everyone of them made me laugh at some point...but Ryan Reynold's was hysterical to me! He rocked! Even if the plot wasn't the greatest...Ryan's role in the film alone is worth watching. I am a hopeless romantic, though, so I liked the whole story and it's definately going in my dvd collection. I was surprised I had never heard of it...but am so glad I found it. I told all my friends about it and would recommend it to anyone! It's not meant to change the world or win an oscar - but it made me feel good and I laughed more than I have in a while...it will do the same for you.
