I lost track at how many times I laughed. I think I pulled a stomach muscle. What a good movie. Awesome writing! Feels good, like watching a John Hughes film.

Admittedly, just tuning in to find this perfect 10 on the screen held my attention. And then listening to the weedy Kirk played by Jay Baruchel made me like him a lot.Maybe my own experiences of having a perfect 10 (OK, 9+) made me want to see how the film ended, but there were some real laugh out loud moments too.And, of course, you knew there had to be a happy ending - which there was in more ways than one.Checking on IMDb to see what the rating was, I was surprised to see it was so low. I think at least 7.5 or 8 is about right. At least you'll feel good after watching it.So, enjoy this film. It is sweet and so is Alice Eve. Wow!

For as much as I can admit this is a relatively formulaic romantic comedy that kinda tells you most of the story in the title, I must say I enjoyed this one quite a bit more than the average rom-com, and not just because of Alice Eve's lingerie scene (though, WHOA...). Proclaimed on the cover as "The funniest comedy since 'The Hangover' " (again?), I found it significantly funnier and not worthy of the comparison. Besides the main story, there's a hilarious sub-plot about they guy's ex-girlfriend basically being adopted by his family and he has to endure not just her presence at every gathering, but her new boyfriend's as well. Plus there's that underwear scene. Lots of humor in the uncomfortable parts (and Jay Baruchel is uncomfortable pretty much all the time), the couple is believable for being worlds apart on the attractiveness scale, and the ancillary characters are enjoyable. There's a bit of raunchiness, but it is an R-rated comedy. And did I mention Alice Eve in her skivvies? 7/10

This movie sends bad messages. The first is that good-looking women are to be worshiped, placed on a pedestal and desired by everyone.Secondly, it then turns around and claims they are achievable by any old loser. It's not just that she's more good looking than him. Jay Baruchel is actually handsome when he's not mugging like an idiot. It's that she's superior to him in every possible way. I don't mind a guy dating up, but he has to bring something, anything to the table. The movie features an inactive protagonist and makes the poor woman who would have no interest in him in real-life do all the work. It's a terrible message to sell to anyone, but especially men.Lastly, we'll never see the gender roles inverted in this scenario.
