Movie with bad message!

Rating: 2/10 (12 September 2013)

Ugh...I absolutely detest movies that give the message - "It's okay to be a slacker as long as you're a nice person ultimately things will be all fine and dandy". Most romcoms cater to the female fantasy where a man with the killer combination of looks, smarts and riches falls for the girl next door damsel in distress and sweeps her off her feet. This is a romcom catering to men, where a hot, successful woman falls for an ugly, good-for-nothing slacker. Not only am I not in the target audience (I am a woman), but the realization that the movie attempts to manipulate the viewer into liking it (through aforementioned pandering to base male fantasies) makes me hate the movie even more. The jokes are terrible (and I am saying this as someone who can handle crude humor pretty well), acting lame and the plot absolutely unbelievable, except that this movie isn't pitched as a fantasy. I give it 2/10, and I am being generous.
