Product Description
A MAN WHO MAKES HIS LIVING CONVINCING WOMEN TO RUN BACK INTO THE ARMS OF THE MEN THEY HAVE RECENTLY DUMPED IS HIRED BY HIS BEST FRIEND TO TAKE OUT THE BEAUTY HE LONGS TO WIN BACK.
Amazon.com
Smart, beautiful and headstrong, Alexis is the girl of Dustin's dreams. But after only five weeks of dating, the love-struck Dustin is coming on so strong that Alexis is forced to slow things down permanently. Devastated and desperate to get her back, Dustin turns to his best friend, Tank, the rebound specialist. A master at seducing – and offending women, Tank gets hired by freshly dumped guys to take their ex-girlfriends out on the worst date of their lives, an experience so horrible it sends them running gratefully back to their beaus. But when Tank works his magic on Alexis, he ends up meeting the challenge of a lifetime. Alexis is the first girl who knows how to call his bluff, and Tank soon finds himself torn between his loyalty to Dustin and a strange new attraction to his best friend's girl.

such a good tale of a guy who wants to help out a friend but ends out finding himself. i usually dont like tales that end in a guy finding his love but this one was one i just couldnt pass up.
i did not like baldwin in this movie though, i think they could have found a more suited actor.
 One of the worst movies that we've seen June 12, 2009
Heather Ann Brooks (USA)
This movie was really horrible, but thankfully we only rented it and did not purchase it. It was at a moment of weakness, when we couldn't find any other movies to rent. The acting was sub par and the characters did not even seem to be connected, especially the two main characters. I was especially disappointed in Kate Hudson, who seemed to play a great role in Fool's Gold. Her acting in this movie, however, left a lot to be desired.
Besides bad acting, the movie was obscene in all the worst ways and not even funny. I suppose it could have been a decent movie if the acting was better and they added some comedy to it. Obviously, everyone has a different opinion. But if you prefer more intelligent movies, don't try this one :)
outrageously funny June 8, 2009
Mark Mason (Seattle, WA USA)
Yes, the movie is foul-mouthed but it is incredibly funny.
Dane Cook is at his best form and Kate Hudson is beautiful and
hot and funny (and she curses more than Cook). Suffer through
the dork Jason Biggs and just enjoy the big laughs.

I should have known after only managing to watch half of Dane Cook's other superbly 'crude' movie "Good Luck Chuck" that this would be on the same level. I have an average tolerance for lewdness as I can stand to watch Sex and the City but this is probably on the level of a real bloke's lewdness. The vulgar language was also something to be grasped. May be all of that was part of the supposed charm of the movie but I was not convinced - all the comedic drama I can manage but the vulgarity of it all made me think - was that reaaaally necessary to the story? Not really. I had to 'chunk' the movie into manageable bits and watch a little bit at a time - as that was all I can manage - but I did survive the movie to finish it (unlike Good Luck Chuck...Bleh!!!) If you can manage to sift through all the vulgarity, there is a sweet story behind it all. Dane Cook plays a professional jerk who helps blokes get their girls back but ends up falling in love with one of'em. He also tries to do the right thing which was also a sweet touch. Kate Hudson is a force to be reckoned with as she is beautiful. But I think the terrible-ness of everything else kills the sweet story line. I must warn the ladies - this is NOT your conventional sweet romantic comedy. But I will say if you liked movies like "Good Luck Chuck" may be you'll enjoy this one.

I happened to enjoy this film. Dane Cook has done a fantastic job in his character. I haven't seen much of him but he truly is the heart and the soul of the film if I'm being honest. Just like his character's relevance there is something about his on screen presence and attitude that will keep you intrigued.
I'm not the biggest Kate Hudson fan and despite her choosing many mindless films in the recent past, I must admit I liked her quite a bit in the film. This is You, Me and Dupree minus the apologetic, cheesy, wind blown humor. I must admit she's sexy in her own way, not that mentioning that will add poignancy for all readers.
Jason Biggs. He's come of age. His character's way of dealing with woman and the inherent shyness and direct head-to-mouth dialogues reminded me of myself. Not for one second did I feel he's overacting.
I know this is not an action film but I couldn't help but notice just how well all accidents happen in the film. How J.B falls, the slapping looks so real and the sound is just perfect. There were about two/three songs in the film that I truly liked. Namely, Separate Ways by Teddy Thompson and Best friend's Girl by The Cars.
Anybody who enjoyed 2005's Waiting will enjoy this film. If you're looking to give a comedy film a try, you might as well rent this dvd. IMDB has a criminally low rating for this film but imdb, just sometimes, a little more especially with comedies, is never quite right.
Alec Baldwin - Well it's good to have him play a short role in the film but I wasn't impressed at all.
Do comment. Cheerio.
