User Review
Enjoyable comedy without the usual Hollywood overkill
Rating: 6/10
I was in fear of going to see this movie.The reviews were appalling. At
the last minute I relented and went expecting the worst. I was
pleasantly surprised after 10 minutes my fears were dispelled and I
actually started to enjoy the film. The basis of the film was
predictable but the way the 2 central characters draw you in surprised
me. They worked very well together and played off each other very well.
Yes there are 1 or 2 silly scenes but it was still funny.
I think the best thing about this comedy was that it left it up to the
audience to draw their own conclusions on the characters of the central
characters without laying (on as Hollywood usually does)it on heavy
with the romantic or schmuty character embellishment.
Just a funny story with 2 ( 4 including the supporting friends) very
good comic actors. Give yourself a break its not overly typical
Hollywood flick and I found it funny anyway ! PS I am not a teenager !
