Good For What It Is.

Rating: 6/10 (22 April 2008)

You can say that this is another romantic comedy; and yes it is true that we have already seen this story more than a thousand times, it is also very predictable and stupid at time but I guess that what we actually expected from the movie that from the guys of Saturday Night Live.
This movie is funny to the certain extent (not the LOL kind, but more giggle kind), consider the source of the gags the SNL team, the jokes is absolutely random, funny, stupid, and embarrassing from time to time. You will never know what joke is coming next. So I guess that what draw us all to watch this movie, oh and of-course Isla Fisher.
It is story about the guy name Rod, a wannabe stuntman, his biggest adventure set in when he find out he need to raise fifty thousand dollars to save his dying step dad. Yeah that what I’m talking about the predictable part, the unpredictable parts involve a whole lot of wacky scenarios.
This movie have the character of its own, but more on the line of Napoleon Dynamite, something that look really lame and yet fill with characters. Enough with those non-scenes, the movie consist of the soundtrack made almost entirely from Europe’s songs. Now that what I called character.
Now the casting, it was awesome!!! They all fit like jigsaw, except for Isla – she is too pretty for this kind of movie. And they all gave a pretty convincing good-for-this-type of movie.
Though as entertaining as it is, it was mildly humorous, no bursting into laugh. I must say not the type of movie that everyone will like, but most likely enjoy. And an absolute no-no to the serious movie watcher that tried to crack-code in the movie. What ever it is the movie did have a pretty location setting, very well editing and good direction.
Recommendation: Rent It First, Might Not Suit Everyone Taste.
Reason to Watch: Isla Fisher, Unpredictable Joke.
Reason Not To: Predictable Storyline.
