Nadia is too good for Jim


He left a 10/10 (Nadia) for some lame looking chick (-10/10) - Michelle.

Although not a bad movie overall, they messed it up as a sequel with his "choice".

I like the first part much more.

Nadia is Jim's fantasy and rarely do fantasies live up to our expectations when we get to experience them. Jim and Michelle have more in common with each other and develope a friendship. Jim and Nadia have the worst possible foundation for a relationship, they only desire each other physically.

As far as movies are concerned, you can't compare the original to the sequel; they are separate styles. The original was a homage to the classic teen comedies of the 70s and 80s. The second is a romantic comedy, much closer to the style of teen movie that came out in the 90s and were inspired by John Hughes.

Jim is a comedic hero, he's flawed and bumbling but over the course of the three films, Jim slowly learns to overcome himself and achieves his "Helen."

Both movies are great, but I respect that you find the first film superior. But remember, in the first film Jim chooses Michelle for the same reason he chooses her in the second movie. When faced with the possibility of being with Nadia, Jim isn't up to the task and is forced to be someone he's not. Michelle allows him to be who he is.

Nadia does like Jim's nerd/geek personality

Is this point coming from a sociopath who just does not get it? If that's the lense you look thru at pife, there's no lengthy response that would get thru to you and makes you understand.

This is a pretty shallow point of view. I did in the past turned down hotter chicks who were crazy ladies and went with lesser hot ones just because they had a way better personality. Anyway seeing you writing this tells me that you are an ignorant virgin anyway.
