Mila!

Rating: 6/10 (19 March 2012)

Lightweight romantic comedy about a guy who goes to Hawaii to forget his ex-girlfriend, a self-absorbed TV actress who has taken up with a raunchy rock star. Unfortunately, the ex and her new beau show up in the very same place the schmo has flown to. No matter what he does, he can't seem to get away from her or the new boyfriend. But he does meet a nice girl working at his hotel, and romance soon blossoms. Meanwhile, the rock star dumps the ex. Guess where all of this is going, folks! Formulaic, occasionally funny, an easy film to watch on a slow Saturday night. Kristen Bell is the TV actress and Mila Kunis is the hotel worker. In all honesty, I think I would have switched their roles. Russel Brand as the obnoxious singer has a truly funny, if vulgar, bit performing his hit song, "I'm Inside Of You," with pelvic thrusts that would make Elvis blush. Really, this one is for the girls. Guys, beware. Although I must say Kunis would be sexy simply reading the phone book. Jason Segal as the schmo gets the role Ben Miller would have played about 10 years before.
