Dex (Donal Logue) is an underachieving guy who LIKES to be an underachiever. He works part-time...just enough to meet his basic needs. And what are his basic needs? Scoring with women, smoking pot and eating....and that's about all there is to him. Some guys would find him pretty funny....I just felt like he was shallow and pitiful--especially considering his age. Through the course of the film, he has rather anonymous physical relations with lots of women (if I use the common three letter word for this, IMDB flags the review!). and one is a married one and so he isn't the sort of fellow you would normally admire. But, oddly, his completely selfish view of life is challenged and he finds himself wanting to be more for a particularly woman.If you can look past how unlikable Dex can be or if you find him funny, you'll enjoy the film a lot more than others will find it. As for me, I enjoyed some of the acting but felt the change in Dex through the course of the film seemed too abrupt AND I just didn't care much about him. Mildly interesting but probably NOT a good date film.

Dex (Donal Logue) is a chubby aimless kindergarten teacher in his 30s. Yet he gets lots of women with his philosophy, and Buddhism & Taoism. He shows no desire for the women which tricks them to desire him more. He falls for Syd (Greer Goodman) at his 10 year college reunion. Only none of his tricks work on her. She challenges him to be better.Donal Logue convinces me of this ladies man character. He is charming, delightful, and even sexy. Syd calling him up on his stuff is brilliant. I do wish that the movie has a bigger actress to play Syd. In the end, it is the performance of Donal Logue which wins me over like the countless women he sleeps with.

Like it or hate it - there is so much truth about dating in this film that it's painful. It's nice to see a movie that takes these games, exploits them and slaps them in the face of everybody who sees this - with a really easy to watch, comical twist. He lays out the rules of dating in a unique, preposterous way. He states what really is the obvious... but nobody wants to admit it. Even the prude, uptight square sociopaths should find enjoyment in this movie and see that there is a huge charade in our society called Dating. It does not matter what a guy looks like... it's all about presentation and Donal Logue nails it! I have even used some of the Tao's rules and guess what... THEY WORK!

A little too simple. But, funny. Steve is great. I like what he says. Unfortunately, a lot of the film lags. Especially the love story. Ididn't really care what happened. It 's like a bowl of chili that looksappetizing but after a few bites you're like "This is kind of nasty."
