I loved it!

Rating: 10/10 (10 November 2012)

I have watched this movie at least five times because I laugh so much each time I watch it. The plot was written well and the storyline seems reasonable. Having the characters with Brett Farve as himself works in this movie though this can be hard to pull off.
The cast shines beginning with Cameron Diaz who exudes attractiveness and charm. Thus we can easily understand all her "suitors" and why they are infatuated with her. Ben Stiller's self effacing and not confident character works well with Diaz' character.
The rest of the cast especially Matt Dillon, provide solid support for Stiller and Diaz. Most of the scenes are crazy funny. For example, we learn that when Magda's dog meets Mary's date for the first time they know he is a bad guy if the dog reacts negatively to him. So to get the dog in a crazy mood Matt Dillon (Pat Healy) and Lee Evans (Tucker) toss some dog treats laced with speed through the window and Magda and her dog ingest the speed. When Mary brings Ted over to her home for the first time, Magda is vacuuming like crazy and even lifts the couch with one hand. You can here the dog growling from the bathroom. Mary goes to talk to Magda and find out what's wrong and she asks Ted to get the dog. Ted gets nervous and asks about the breed and she says the breed and that the dog is like Benji. So Ted opens the door and sweetly tells the dog to come to him and the dog leaps onto him in full attack mode. That scene of physical humor ends with the dog leaping out of the window. My daughter and I laughed big belly laughs all during that scene.
This movie reminds me why I love watching movies. When you find one like this one you really get to appreciate all the artistic and creative efforts that came together to make such an entertaining comedy.
