Not really a comedy

Rating: 6/10 (28 August 2007)

...but humorous, with some pretty dramatic scenes. Certainly made me a laugh a couple of times, and was thought provoking.
The movie had a couple of pretty major flaws, unfortunately.
First, I really don't believe there's a bunch of guys anywhere in the world who behave like Ben and his mates; these really are a 'movie only' type of people. I don't mind the gross out humour, but it's *vital* not to try too hard when portraying it, and this movie tries far too hard.
Second, we never believe that a woman like Alison would actually give the time of day to Ben, and this problem extends from their first meeting in the nightclub to the final scenes.
I thought my wife might like it more than me because of the chick flick elements, but she rated it a five.
