One of the most overrated movies ever

Rating: 3/10 (1 March 2002)

SPOILERS I love dark comedy. I love satire. I love serious, intellectually-stimulating movies. And this movie did nothing for me.
Everything about it was typical and predictable. There have got to be at least 25 movies that deal with a male mid-life crisis in a smarter, more emotionally real way (Michael Ritchie's SMILE, for example).
Wow: the girl who seems like a slut is actually a virgin! And the guy who hates homosexuals is actually gay! How earth-shattering! Who hasn't seen these twists on stereotypes a zillion times? And who didn't see them coming a mile away?
What a disappointing film.
