SnoopyStyle Paul (Jason Lee) had a bachelor party at the Hula Lounge, and he wakes up next morning with Hula girl Becky (Julia Stiles) in his bed. He quickly shoves her out the door before his girlfriend Karen (Selma Blair) comes knocking. Becky seems to be out of his life, but she keeps popping up. The worst is yet to come.It starts off bad. Are we suppose to empathize with a guy who cheated? The problem is that Selma Blair is not an obvious bad match to Jason Lee. This just compounds the problem of the cheating. Julia Stiles have some cute expressions. If Selma Blair could be made to look much worst, I might even root for Jason Lee and Julia Stiles to get together.Most of the movie just isn't funny for the above mentioned reason. But there is one surprising funny scene. When Selma Blair finally discovers the panties, she makes a phone call that truly surprised me.
stephcosmos This is so incredibly bad. Poor actors. You can tell they're trying really hard to polish a turd, but we all know you can't. The writing is so obvious and facile, it's sad watching them try to sell it. The humor and pacing are so labored, it's hard to believe any of these good actors signed on for this.That said, it's so awful that we're having a hard time looking away from the screen. We just have to know where this trainwreck goes. But that's only because we caught it on TV. If we had actually PAID for this, we'd be disgusted. So it gets 2 stars for being at least amusingly/fascinatingly bad. And the incidental music (as opposed to the trying-too-hard indie soundtrack) is laughably reminiscent of an episode of Scooby-Doo... but not as good.
moritztiedje I think this movie got a low rating because it got judged by it's worst moments. There is a diarrhea joke and an embarrassing nut-scratching scene, but apart from that there are actually quite a few moments that made me laugh out loud. Jason Lee is performing some wonderfully subtle comedy in this movie and Julia Stiles manages to be pretty damn funny herself. Apart from that this movie behaves like most romantic comedies, after about 40 minutes into it you know how it is going to end. (Which is better than most of them, where you already know after +/- 5 minutes). Anyway, better movies to watch but definitely not the worst pick...Cheers
elshikh4 Let's try to write about a movie after months of watching it. I've had such a wonderful time while it. I believe watching a romantic comedy from the 2000s became such a risky matter, you don't know what would happen or be shown of horrible images since (There's Something about Mary) or (American Pie) which are the romantic comedy's mentors of the era! But this movie was a nice surprise, and nothing like what I feared of initially (hidden dirty meaning in its title!). I believe this is one script to honor. It utilized some colorful characters and fancy ironies, using many smart techniques (the continuous reveries for instance). There is a creative spirit behind every scene, a smart detail with every moment (the singing course at the end), and a real droll situations (the Odyssey of losing the photos). Save the easy ending, this is without a doubt a confirmation that (Greg Glienna) is enjoyable screenwriter, as his other works (Meet the Parents) and (Meet the Fockers) were nothing but "Meet the Pain" for me. Actually it's hard to believe that the 3 got one writer, and it's just an insult to say that this movie is far and away better than those 2 sins because it's far and away to compare it to them in the first place. The whole characters, even the little roles, were blessed by good people with performance that hit the mark right ; (Julie Hagerty) from the 1980s' (Airplane) movies is one high memorable point in here as the nice mom, and this movie got me to love (James Brolin) finally in something; it's a miracle ! He was that pompous idiot all along. The pace was fast, and the directing is fine yet as a TV work, it wasn't as crazy as the events sometimes and lacked some emotional feel as well, though the climax was perfect. (Jason Lee) is the best example if you want to summarize the cleverness and the loveliness of this movie. I only hated, and I mean HATED!, (Julia Stiles), she unlike the movie was so cold and frigid, let alone being anything but a comedienne or an effective part in a comedy, so how about being the lead's love interest?, in fact she was totally uninteresting !. I believe the romantic comedy lives a poor age at the 2000s, but small movies like this with low budget and not very famous names managed to outclass anything bigger (or accurately looks bigger !). So, (A Guy Thing - 2003) along with a few ones like (Get Well Soon - 2001), (Just Friends - 2005); with (Julie Hagerty) as the good light-hearted mom also, represented the best of what the American cinema could make at that genre lately. Thank god there wasn't one fart joke in it!
