So-so sort-of comedy with the occasional titter

Rating: 6/10 (29 March 2008)

It just proves that the standard of movies is dropping all the time that this film was given good reviews when it was released in the UK. As I prefer not to share my film-going experience with the popcorn and Coke crowd these days, I rented it on DVD. I at least expected something tat would cheer me up, but this was just too infuriating for that. I'm used to suspending disbelief in order to enjoy science fantasy films, but I find it very hard to suspend disbelief when it comes to films that are supposedly situated in real life.
Katherine Heigl's character would never, NEVER, **NEVER** sleep with this guy - even if she was drunk. Having done the impossible deed, it is even more unlikely that she would actually grow to like the idiot afterwards - let alone love him.
I think I got 4 or 5 vague laughs out of it, so it wasn't all bad, but the basic premise that this gorgeous, successful woman would hook up with a sad, tubby loser with even worse loser friends is just too hard to accept.
