You Stupid Man = When Harry Met Sally


finally i was able to watch the movie yesterday, as it was release on DVD after several years.
i've really liked the movie, and Milla is fantastic as always, showing she can act.
But i think the movie is so very "When Harry Met Sally". Don't get me wrong, WHMS... is one of my all time favourites, but this movie is kind of a ripp off.
Even a line or two are taken from Rob Reiner's movie.
In overall, i would give You Stupid Man an 8 out of 10, mostly for Milla and the clever idea of showing what the characters think at the same time the dialogues goes. That was cool.
What do you think?

I did see a hint of "When Harry Met Sally" while watching the movie, but it was just because they didn't like each other in the beginning and then Nadine ended up being Owen's 'inside' to how women think. I thinks thats about it. It was a cute movie all the same.

I totally agree, I thought several times while watching it that it stole rather blatantly from WHMS. But there are worse movies to copy. Plus, there can't be only one movie set in NY with two people who are friends for a long time even though they're obviously meant for each other. Both movies are adorable and I hope lots of people see You Stupid Man.

obviously, i agree with you.
besides, i love You Stupid Man. My comments towards YSM being similar to WHMS is a compliment, in fact :)

It is _verry_ WHMS(great movie), that plus that it is not realy belivible brings down my vote to a 7. I mean the whole thing that he don't notice that she likes him and that he newer tries anything with her. The movie don't realy follow any particular person, from nowhere comes the that he had been on a date! Also I hate the "run and convince scene" in the end to. Should be a 6 actually but it is a verry feel good movie.
