Jackson Booth-Millard The title was an easy indication that this film was a rom-com, I mainly noticed it because of a couple of the stars in it, it may have had a low rating, but I was up for trying a most likely cheesy and possibly full of vulgarity or predictable material, from director Howard Deutch (The Whole Ten Yards). Basically Sherman 'Tank' Turner (Dane Cook) has a job as a help line operator, but he also has a hobby and a near second job, as he sometimes gets paid for it, to help a guy who has split with their girl, and he takes the girl out on a bad date, mostly acting like an asshole so that she will feel the need to go back to her man. His step cousin Dustin (Jason Biggs) who he shares an apartment with is the latest guy to need his help, he fell for his work colleague Alexis (Razzie nominated Kate Hudson) and took her on many dates, but he told her she loved him and she replies that she feels they are more friends, so she leaves him. Tank offers his help but Dustin does not agree to him and his services, but then he sees another co-worker and her flirting, so then he begs Tank take her out and do his thing, he bumps into her and arranges the date, and obviously he acts moronic, but she is too drunk to take notice and sees that he is doing it deliberately. Alexis asks Dustin to meet her, but she does not want to be with him, she explains that having a bad date has encouraged her to go out with other men in the hope she will find the right man, so Dustin sends some flowers and a poem with Tank's name on to set up another date for them. Instead of going on a date however Tank and Alexis have sex together, and this becomes a frequent activity, and while this is going on Dustin is trying everything he can think of to convince her that he does just want to be friends, maybe more. Of course as they spend more time together Tank realises he is gaining true feelings for his best friend's girl, he consults with his father Professor Turner (Alec Baldwin), a womaniser himself, but the old man doubts he can be with her and have a serious relationship. He next attends the wedding of Rachel (Diora Baird), Alexis' sister, and he realises one of his previous bad dates was with her, and the groom Josh (Taran Killam) wants his help to keep the bride on good terms, but worse for him is when he overhears Alexis admitting her love for him to Rachel. Feeling guilty for his manipulation Tank sabotages any relationship with her by deliberately causing, and he calls Dustin, who caught them together, telling him that he is sorry, but he is at the reception as well to reveal what the bad date stuff as a hobby, and all Tank can do is point out the numerous clients he recognises, before being punched and thrown out. Tank realises he truly does love Alexis, Dustin and his father understand and encourage him to find her and make things better, he does find her while jogging and all she does is engage in a little conversation while continuing to run, he keeps up as long as he can while she is unmoved by his explaining. Three months pass, and Alexis catches Tank on a date with her roommate Ami (Lizzy Caplan), she throws wine in his face and his date walks away, they have a bit of an argument in front of the restaurant customers, this lightens down as they realise they love each other, and they embrace with a true love kiss, and with Tank's father guidance Dustin finds himself a girlfriend with Ami. Cook is the absolute right decision to play the intentional dickhead but who actually has a heart, Hudson is likable sometimes but overall a bit dull and just good for her looks, and Biggs does his usual awkward character trying to get somewhere with the girl but failing miserably. The film is predictable in the sense of the guy finds the girl, screws it up, but gets with her in the end premise, but the being a tosser on purpose part to help someone else get the girl is a relatively new and alternative plot, obviously though it makes for some terribly droll moments, but some of it did genuinely make me laugh, so overall it was not such a disappointing romantic comedy. Adequate!

danail_1131 Please, somebody tell to miss Hudson read screenplay, before acting in movies. Please, somebody tell to Mr. Cook - go back to bar, and never again try to by a movie actor. Please, somebody tell to Jason Biggs - back to last job, before you start your carrier. Please, Mr. Doitch - stop directing a movies, you are not for this job. Please, somebody tell a screenwriter - before you write something new - read a some books, or better - never again write. Hollywood lose your sense fora a good rom-com. If you, folks, need a good rom-com white black satiric humor, please search a from something different place - maybe a British movies, or from another European country. Escuse my bad English - just this not my birth language.

Desiree This was so great! Loved it. So very funny. Though I did love it, I had a few problems with it…surprise right? I'm picky, I know.First of all, it had way too many, overdone cliché moments. A few examples: Girl in the sunlight, guy doing best friend a favor then falls for girl, big scene towards the end where everything comes out in the open. They had this public outing of all the events and confusion more than once! Once is definitely more than enough. It's too corny for my taste. I hate the public fight and make up scenes.Though hilarious, it was too predictable. I feel like I have seen the same movie 100 times.Example of very similar films: Failure to Launch, Wedding Crashers, Good Luck Chuck If you liked this film you will like all of the above that I mentioned. They all have the same humor and light feel. I liked them all, they are all just too similar.I love Dane Cook but he always plays the same character. He needs to expand out of his type cast.Kate Hudson was great and beautiful, as always.I couldn't really feel bad for the Jason Biggs character. He was the best friend that got screwed over but he was so annoying. It was difficult to like him.Lizzy Caplan was awesome. Her character was one of the best ones in the film.Is Alec Baldwin ever going to play a likable character???

Paul Celano (chelano) OK a lot of Dane Cook's dialog in this film was like his stand up. At first it is pretty funny and you get some laughs, but then it just goes too far and gets kind of boring. I mean don't get me wrong, there were a few parts that really had me laughing from what he said. But then it would go over the top to the point of not funny. Jason Biggs was not that funny at all. I think there was one part that really made me laugh with him. Since the American Pies, I think his career just died. Kate Hudson was fine. She is always a joy to watch and seems to do a great to decent job whenever she acts. The one side actor that threw me off was Alec Baldwin. Recently, or more like in the past four years, Baldwin has set himself as one character from the show 30 Rock. In this film he was a little like that character, but at points just acted really bad. It was just not the type of movie for him. Other than that, the story line was pretty weak and they tried to make a big ending and failed at that also.
