User Review
Finally a romantic comedy for all
Rating: 9/10
My girlfriend got invited to a screening of this movie and though I
tried to wiggle my way out of it, I was trapped into going. Walking
into the theater with the worst possible predisposition, I have to
admit I left smiling.
Men will immediately sympathize with the Chris Evans character:
Slacker/musician/womanizer. Not the classic perfect catch man of these
type of movies, which is breath of fresh air. I am not particularly
fond of Farris, but she was another pleasant surprise. She makes her
character very likable and though pursuing a completely ridiculous task
she is absolutely relatable. Excellent character development by both,
we see them grow and change and their on screen chemistry is just
right. The reason I think the movie is perfect for all is that it has
the right amount of romantic elements, mixed with a fair amount of
raunchy and naked butts to keep everyone laughing. Not once during this
movie did I feel it was falling into a sappy whole, and trust me I am
the first one to stick two fingers down his throat when that happens
(sorry for the image).
This movie definitely brakes the mold of Romantic Comedy, hopefully
this is the direction they will take in the future. Let's make one
thing clear: If you go see "What's your number?" be ready to laugh, be
entertained and have a fun time. Don't expect "The Godfather", cause it
ain't.
I'm not much of a review writer but there's something bugging me and I
want to get it out. As a person who works in the film industry, I am
particularly offended by the comment left below. You can like or
dislike a movie for many reasons, obviously nobody has the definite
truth. However, these folks create, develop, and put their names out
there just to entertain you. You chose to stay behind your computer
screen and criticize their work (poorly, I might add). Guess who's the
coward?
