This is a movie that’s hard to love or hate. It’s a lot like one of those genre parody movies like “Scary Movie”, or “Not Another Teen Movie.” It basically has a little bit from every successful romantic comedy released in the last 10 years. That’s what Hollywood is all about, though: Recycling the same thing over and over again.

The second problem with the movie is that has a really obnoxious love story with Owen Wilson. Just fast foward through those parts. You won’t miss anything. It’s just cliched filler. The difference between this any a GOOD movie is that one of them doesn’t have to use the old “she’s already got a boyfriend BUT he’s a jerk” plot. Can you guess which is the good one and which is the bad one? Maybe once we can have a girl who has a nice boyfriend and she’s just a piece of garbage and cheats on him. If you don’t roll your eyes during the scene where her boyfriend is on the phone talking to his friends about how he cheats on his girlfriend then you don’t deserve to watch movies.

So that’s the bad, but what about the good? The real surprise of the movie is Vince Vaughn. I did not like his work in Dodgeball, and now I’m confident that it was just awful writing, because he’s fantastic in The Wedding Crashers. He’s back to playing that wonderfully shallow womanizer from Old School and it’s definately his niche. Keep casting him in these rolls.

The movie is quite funny from start to finish. There’s a great unexpected cameo (at least I didn’t see it coming) in the last 20 minutes of the movie that will definately please viewers of this film. If you don’t like it then what business do you have watching a comedy?

I say this movie is worth consuming for the laughs alone. It is a very funny movie at times when it’s not trying to steal from some of Ben Stiller’s better comedies.
