DQGladstone This is a movie that is trying too hard to appeal to everyone but it does one thing very well: It explains why the divorce rate is so high.The plot device of this film is that the couple breaks up but the girl will never explain why. Stupid yet believable. If a male did that, we'd think he was insane but the writers expect us to accept it as normal behavior from a female. Which is it's own statement.In the breakup conversation that we never see but later hear about , the girl apparently communicates as if someone asks her to recite the alphabet and she starts with the letter "Z". In other words, instead of saying "You seem a bit uncertain lately, is everything alright?" she says "I think we should cancel the wedding. What do you think?" Typically, 90 minutes later film-time, she makes it sound like his fault that she started at "Z" and blames him for not making up for her communication shortcomings. He agrees that it's all his fault and begs for her forgiveness.Wow, what a recipe for success! "Why didn't you STOP me" she cries, self-righteously. Patent pending.She even emphasizes that HE cancelled the wedding during her explanation when she clearly bought the tickets, he only agreed to go for the ride.The writer must have done some serious juggling to make this female-friendly but we are now accustomed as viewers to having the man agree to any stupid thing the woman says. (Marketing Film To Female Audience: 101) Help us, dear Jesus.If they do get married, they're doomed to divorce as they are both cute but immature idiots.This movie is worth watching only as an education on 1) why people shouldn't get married until they're at least ! 30 and 2) for a reasonable facsimile of what passes for communication in the female mind because that is, unfortunately, captured here.Moral: Immature women play a lot of stupid games then the man gets blamed when everyone loses. Cupid, release thy bow unto my yearning heart.Yes, he was stupid but she was MORE stupid for expecting the stupid guy to make up for her more stupid behavior. They should sign a contract promising not to breed.My apologies to the 214 women out there who AREn't gameplaying idiots.The dialogue and acting in this film seemed forced. The actors all seem talented but they were frequently overplaying it.HEY, another stupid scene where a stupid girl knees a guy in the balls. In this stupid film, he literally takes it lying down. What message is that sending? "Women, attack a man and they won't smack you back, they'll make JOKES about it."The recipe for domestic violence, yours for the price of admission.

funkmonkay Jeff Anderson's debut feature is very much a grown up romantic comedy. Admittedly I was expecting a Randal Graves style of humor that wasn't delivered but that didn't stop my enjoyment of the flick. I was pleasantly surprised at the sincerity of the characters and the believability of the dialogue. I'm certain that a lot of the more serious scenes would have been crude and sentimental in lesser hands. The Gil and Biscuit scenes give it just enough humor to counter the central storyline. There are of course certain issues with both Andersons direction and his own limited acting abilities, but in their own way they're sort of charming. In short, the film is very enjoyable and Jeff shows a lot of potential as a Writer-Director.

buzkill All I have to say is that I saw this movie two years ago (at Kevin Smith's Vulgarthon) and for some reason I've found myself thinking about it and wondering if it ever made it to DVD. If that doesn't speak well of a film, I don't know what does. OK, I am required to say more....the movie was funny, had a likable cast, and best of all was written in a way that was not predictable, stereotypical, bitter, or unrealistic. I'll admit that it did have some minor continuity issues. Yet, I'll also admit that I have the unfortunate ability of easily being able to pick those things out. That trait has ruined lesser movies for me. This film was very entertaining. I really liked it and hope that I get an opportunity to not only see this movie again, but also additional work by the multi-talented Jeff Anderson.

CBikle I liked this movie a lot and it's been in the back of my mind since I saw it two days ago. The characters are eerily familiar to people I know (maybe that's because the movie takes place in NJ , which is where I live)and even though the two landscapers are over the top , it works and helps balance out the more serious elements of the movie.I don't normally see movies twice , but I'll probably see it again with friends on Dec. 13 and see what they think.
