Surprisingly funny!

Rating: 8/10 (9 July 2005)

I avoided this movie when it hit the theaters because the critics panned it. I shouldn't have listened to them. Okay, maybe the story line was a bit of a stereotype--the love doctor helps others fall in love but he doesn't take his own advice. But overlook that, and you'll enjoy a great romantic comedy. It wasn't Will Smith that was so hilarious--although he had a few moments--it was his co-stars who who were so funny. Especially his "large" client/friend (I didn't get his name) nearly stole the movie in every scene he was in! It's worth renting just to watch him! There were some scenes I was laughing so much that I had go back and rewatch to hear the dialogue. The ending was a bit overlong but overall, the movie is definitely worth a rental, and it's a great date movie too.
