TDFFFreak Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Saw this last night and I give it a big . It's not too over the top, yet not overly sentimental. It's just very funny and has some nice eye candy to look at (Mila ). In the Apatow film world it's a notch below 40 Year Old Virgin (still my favorite), on par with the very funny Superbad (but a different movie all together), better than the good-but-overrated Knocked Up. Check this one out with your buddies or wife/girlfriend/boyfriend. This is one all should be able to enjoy. I give it a B+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabuffbills Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Went to see it over the weekend and about an hour into the movie, the screen went black and it took them a half hour to fix the movie. I had already left and gotten a refund. From what I saw in the first hour or so, it had some funny parts but i didn't think it was hilarious.

DMD Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Saw this on Monday. It was a different kind of movie to me because overall I thought it was very funny without ever having a LOL moment - just a constant string of chuckles I guess. And while I usually hate movies that have guys and girls in very awkward/uncomfortable situations like this one had, it carried it off all really well. I enjoyed it quite a bit as did my wife. It wasn't at all slapstick physical comedy really. It was mostly just funny things that people said. Pretty much constantly. Stuff like the shirts she bought and the guy's attitude/relationship to the british guy was just always pretty funny if only in an understated way. Note - it has full frontal male nudity more than once which was never really reciporcated so that loses a point. And while maybe not that graphic in actual nudity, it had plenty of highly suggestive scenes. If you are trying to date one of those women from the cult in West Texas, she would probably not enjoy the movie. I think it would be a great date movie for a couple that had been together for a while. Two thumbs up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yo mama Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 If you are trying to date one of those women from the cult in West Texas, she would probably not enjoy the movie. Well, they probably wouldn't be old enough to get into the movie in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would be a great date movie for a couple that had been together for a while. Two thumbs up. Exactly! I think this is why I really enjoyed it. They weren't playing characters who fit a certain type, there was a gray area saying that most people aren't good or bad. ***SPOLIER*** The British rocker guy who was Sarah's new boyfriend would normally be a total prick. In this movie he was strange and had some douchebag moments, but for the most part he was rather likable. Jason Segel's character even admits to liking the guy at one point. ***END SPOILER*** This is not a movie for people who want to laugh hard and loud throughout a movie, but rather a film that you constantly chuckle at. It's the little things that people do in real life that are most humorous. Edited April 24, 2008 by TDFFFreak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detlef Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Got it on Netflix and thought it was freaking great. Numerous LOL moments. I liked the details, right up to the trailers for "Animal Instinct" that ran after the movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushwacked Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 You sound like you're from London! That was a LOL moment for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Square Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 It's a good date night movie. If you can get your girl talked into thinking this is a chick flick, you'll get to pick the movie next time while seeing a solid flick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked the details, right up to the trailers for "Animal Instinct" that ran after the movie. +1 Many, many good parts all the way through the movie (unlike some that are good only in first half or second half). And Ku Nu(sp?) the surfer dude (played by Paul Rudd) was hysterical! Two thumbs way up. Edited December 31, 2009 by millerx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delicious_bass Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Kunis' and Bell's hotness is trumped by entirely too many scenes with crank Not nearly as funny as advertised, IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
