I Laughed from Start to Finish!


This movie hit me right in the funny bone! Paul Rudd is adorable and he's just perfect in this role. Jennifer Anniston had some really great moments too. I enjoyed the story and all the supporting actors were hilarious.

Great, simple premise and script. It's the kind of movie I can watch over and over.

Just got the DVD. One of my favorites!

We just watched it the other night and thought that the movie was well cast and there was some good, be careful what you wish for sort of irony, mixed in with the off the wall comedy that made it entertaining.

I don't recall ever hearing of this film opening in theaters, but given the pedigree of those involved, decided to watch the TV version. Despite the usual obvious and awkward dubbed swear words, I enjoyed it. There were plenty of laughs along the way. I wasn't expecting much from yet another spin on the usual rom-com formula, but had a great time.

Agreed it became one of my favorites, my husband on the other hand did not like it at all.

I was never interested in this movie before because of the negative reviews, but I didn’t know what else to watch on Netflix, so I put this on not sure if I’d commit to it, and I too laughed from beginning to end. This movie had me laughing out loud often. I really didn’t expect to like it this much and I immediately ordered the blu-ray as the credits were rolling.

This, like Bridesmaids, is something I had low expectations for, 2 movies I never thought I’d watch but ended up finding hilarious. Though Bridesmaids had been getting good reviews, I just didn’t think I’d find it funny, but they’re both hilarious. I’m glad I decided to watch this one.

I thought this was funnier than We’re The Millers to be honest, which I also enjoyed, but this was better IMO.

A lot of funny people and a lot of funny scenes -- a big success. An example of the satire in the movie, at a commune, after Rudd's character swats a fly:
"I cannot even look at you right now."
"I'm sorry, I'm trying to learn all the rules."
"There are no rules here, George."
"Except 'no swatting flies.'"
"That's not a rule. It's just a way of thinking about stuff. You did something wrong and you're a little embarrassed about it. It's okay."
