OK comedy but character development would have went a long way.

Rating: 5/10 (30 September 2007)

I just finished viewing this from a rental..
I found it entertaining, but a lot of things seem to be left out of the film as far as character background etc..such as
1.Why did Ben come here from Canada?. 2.How did 14,000 he got in a settlement last living in California? It should have been about a month, and that is if he had the full amount, and was that $14k in Canadian or US dollars? Which would be less here. 3.And if none of these guys had a job how did they pay rent, and other bills? 4.When he got responsible how did he land a job here in the US if he was here illegally? Did he have fake papers, social security number? None of that was explained.
5.Did Alison ever have a boyfriend recently that went bad? Bad Experiences with guys before overall? Just to busy with a career to date? and really would she have just went with a guy she had zero in common with just for the baby?
A lot seemed to be left out of the film as far as the characters and why they were what they were, I know this was a comedy, but it had to be somewhat believable, even if you go past how two people such exact opposites would get together or even sleep together, even way drunk, also if he remembered nothing, as he stated before in the film, how did he remember later not getting the condom on, and what she said? How did he know it just didn't break? OK enough with the huhs.
It had it's funny moments, but even for a comedy it just seemed to go along without any substance or explanation as if the movie said, here is what you have, believe it, don't look for reason, just go with it..I for one like a little bit of plot development then just people thrown into a situation and here it is, a little character background would have went a long way in explaining how they would have wound up loving each other at the end.
