S_Dawg Because I thought this movie was barely better than an unfortunate train wreck. The plot was ridiculous, the characters were lame, and I couldn't believe that actors I admire so much were attached to such a piece of garbage. Bill Murray and Catherine O'Hara were basically the only two characters in the entire film I cared about, and even that is stretching it. I actually usually enjoy Jay Mohr's comedy, but I just wanted to punch him in this. I've never been one for "chick-flicks", but I don't even think this qualifies as one. In all honesty, I have trouble figuring out exactly what the target audience would be. If you happen to catch it on TV and there's absolutely NOTHING else on...read a book.
Jeroen Besseling I don't know exactly what went wrong with this movie, Bill Murray can do comedy, Jay Mohr was funny in Mafia, but I think it was the script that has messed this movie up big time. I know it's hard to make up good jokes, and all the good stuff has already been used in other movies, but is that really a reason to resort to sh***y sexual jokes? I mean, you can make BIG sexual jokes, that are almost revolting (the sperm gel used by cameron diaz in there is something about mary) but will freak people out and make them laugh, or you can do the other jokes.. and sadly they have chosen for the save path. These jokes are weak, I have the idea that the writer is a bit afraid of sex himself, and tries to write the trauma away with this dreadful story.But enough about the story what about the cast? lot of semi-great names, but no real big names, that is not a shame, I think the actors did pretty good considering the script that was given them. None of them are truly great, Lara Boyle is candy for the eye as usual, but nothing more. The characters are just flat, no crazy persons (a good comedy must have a weird or crazy person in my opinion) they are all at the same level. Even a veteran like Bill Murray delivers a meagre performance. Almost like the director said "people! don't try to be too funny" they seem to be held back by something. And last, but not least, the directing. I think the director did a good job I like the short flashback thing were he let's the picture slide into the screen. Also the "private eye and victim woman" telephone conversation with 2 other people was brought very good. The director did his best and made a movie what was a 4 out of 10 into a 5 out of ten.. so 5/10, maybe nice for the die hard Murray fans. But not very funny.
Stealth2000 From reading squinty4567's comment, I was expecting a laugh-out-loud comedy. Unfortunately I didn't think this movie was that funny. I'm not saying it was a bad movie, it's fairly good and worth watching, but not really funny. I don't think I so much as snickered during this movie.
Shocka It seems this sex-related film was made specifically for teenage-adults who aren't too bright. As it goes, a married couple who can't even speak to each other end up in a bunch of horrible events after the guy can't get an erection - of course, when they go to a marriage counceller, no one is even mature or sane enough to say "erection" or "penis" because their combined intellect matches the amount of poor people who have suffered through this garbage (11). I've seen a better plot in Sesame Street, and more chemistry between a Kermit the Frog and a lunchbox. Speaking of a lunchbox, the acting is AWFUL. The leading lady is so incredibly awful I wanted to hit her with a shovel - her only claim to fame in this film is that she doesn't bare her breasts, though poor Lara Flynn Boyle (of this month's horrendous Men in Black II) does, in what seems to be her pre-implant days; in other words, they're proverbial mosquito bites. Nothing about this movie is watchable or good at all. Avoid at all costs.
