I am not sure how I missed this movie from the early 2000's, especially since Chris Klein is in it and I love him in the American Pie movies. This movie is a silly/dumb comedy ,but really had me laughing. It reminds me of Joe Dirt. Overall good acting and many laughs from me. I am not sure how it has such a low score. Good soundtrack in it too!There are many goofy and predictable parts in this movie, but fits in very well with comedies from the 2000's. I am a 30-year-old female, so I feel as if this movie can be a good choice for a variety of ages and male or female. If you are looking for a light hearted, slightly inappropriate comedy , than look no further and give this one a chance. It's a must see and deserves a higher score.

On the board posts, there's somebody who nicely summed it up the way I've titled my entry. I absolutely loved Heather Graham in COMMITTED and feel that this movie is just way, way below her dignity, why did she bother? Gross-out gags a la American PIE which doesn't further the script but just makes the movie a jumbled mess. And they're unfunny. Another entry on the board posts says 'embarrassed to be watching this movie alone' and yeah, I know exactly what you mean. I wouldn't say I'm proud of my choice. I bought the movie as part of a bundle promotion, select any 5 at a giveaway price, and scrolled down a list of about 900. Had never heard of this one before, though I have done considerable research on Heather Graham on both IMDb and Wikipedia, but I suppose the bland title made me skip on further investigation.Now don't get me wrong. I got good value for my (little) money. Nice Heather (and to all you Americans out there, Graham is pronounced Greym, not Gramn ****sakes!) and very nice leggy goddess picture of her on the back of the box, but this movie needs a bit more of a disciplined approach, like toss out the ****awful gross-out gags immediately, dump them, set fire to them, pretend they never existed!

Gilly Noble (Chris Klein) is an orphan and an animal catcher in Shelbyville, Indiana. He starts dating bad hairdresser Jo Wingfield (Heather Graham) after she cut off part of his ear. She had returned home to live with mother Valdine (Sally Field) and take care of paralyzed father Walter (Richard Jenkins). After six months, Gilly's search for a mother lands on Valdine. He becomes an outcast and a town joke. Jo runs away to start again in Oregon. She is set to marry Jack Mitchelson who is secretly a powerful drug lord. Then Leon Pitofsky comes with proof of being the actual boy that Valdine gave up for adoption. The Wingfields throw Gilly out. Gilly tries to get Jo back despite the world still thinking that they're siblings. Valdine works to stop him with Jack's help to spread news of his sick sibling sexual relationship.The Farrelly brothers produced this. Despite not being the directors, this one still has their trademark shock humor. However, none of it is funny to me. Some of the stuff is awkward. Everybody and everything is quirky. Comedy is very subjective and I didn't laugh at all. I don't think Chris Klein is a top rank comedian. His blank dumb face works on a narrow comedic path. He needs others to compliment him. The start is rushed with a lot of story to cram in. Farrelly fans may find the inappropriate subject hilarious but I need more than shock value for it to actually be funny.

Don't be scared off by the user rating on this film. Sit down and expect talented actor's to bring you a comedy that won't disappoint.Basic plot: "Say It Isn't So" puts a comically depraved spin on a classic love story: Boy (Chris Klein) meets girl (Heather Graham); Boy falls in love (and has wild, non-stop sex) with girl; Boy loses girl ... when they learn they are brother and sister! Or are they? When the young man learns the truth, he must race across the country to stop her from marrying another man.All that I can say is that this movie makes me laugh every time I watch it, and that's all that matters! "Damn Jimmy!"
