lalligood 9Funny. Refreshingly funny. Really damn funny. Funny-because-they-didn't-spoil-the-movie-by-giving-away-all-the-good-jokes-in-the-trailer funny. I cannot recall ever seeing a film that carefully balanced being a comedy yet have a caring "chick flick"-esque story. Vaughn & Wilson balance each other out as well.
flashyrhetoric 6Too funny for it's own good.
madmitch 8Fantastically funny! There is enough wacky in this film to keep it going right up to the end. Very enjoyable, recommeded!
crazy 8Vince Vaughn is hilarious.
connie 8terrific movie with the right combo of comedy and romance that's believable.
dack 4Holy cow, what a disappointment. There are a few modest laughs in the first 30 minutes, but the painful remaining rom-com 1:30 makes you completely forget them. The script is so chock full of cliches it seems like it was written by a high-schooler; possibly junior college (the gay thing with the painter and Vince Vaughn is fully abhorrent). On the plus side, Rachel McAdams is lovely and charming and radiant *sigh*. Vaughn oozes charisma, but looks like he's been eating nothing but Krispy Kremes since Old School. Dude, mix in a salad! He's got to be panicked about the receeding hairline, too. With such an lousy script even his talents are almost completely wasted. For once, Roger Ebert is dead on.
samalz 3I didn't even SEE this movie and I know it sucks out loud. Typically I think that is an ignorant thing to say, but I read enough of the reviews to know I would hate it. Too often today foulness = funny. That's just plain stupid.
mgschatz 0Wow - everyone said that at least the 1st half-hour was funny and worth it, but they are wrong. The first half hour is a slew of predictable jokes that elicited exactly one chuckle each from my wife and I. We turned it off after 27:42. Maybe we were spoiled by the 40 Year Old Virgin the week before, which actually was funny. This is only the 3rd movie in my live that I have not made it all of the way through, and certainly the one I turned off the quickest. Thank god for free rental codes for Red Box so I didn't feel like I even wasted a buck on this crap!
scrappy 7Funny but not great. Overall much more entertaining than the 40 year old virgin.
wynns 4A potentially funny movie ruined by a focus group that wanted the rom-com added in. Way too long.
Oracle 5Not necessarily a good film --in fact, not a good film at all-- but what hold this piece of bawdy crap is the good acting. I must say I feel for it.
This movie is available on DVD/Video
