I don't rate movies but I use IMDb a lot before deciding to watch a movie. This is my first review because the injustice here was too much for me to bear. I like movies, so will give anything with a 6 or higher a shot. For the most part, the ratings on here are pretty good, not always (I triangulate with a few other sites before committing to a movie). Well this one was WAY OFF. I am glad I did not let the ratings and reviews dissuade me, because this is a great movie.If you like Paul Rudd (I am a big fan), don't mind Reese (I like her even more now), like Owen Wilson (yep), love Jack (who doesn't?) and loved Terms of Endearment and As Good as it Gets, you will NOT REGRET watching this movie. Enjoy.

Just a quick note simply because this movie has such a low rating. I watched it because Reese is in it expecting something rather lame according to IMDb but I give it a 9 out of 10 easily. It's an excellent film with great pace, even for such a long film, excellent acting and intelligent script. It's slightly predictable but what love story isn't?I totally do not understand the low rank on IMDb. Reese is super cute, even with her dorky smile with top jaw pulling out like an alien. ha ha. Will watch this again in the future. Hope this review helps someone make a small adjustment to making their afternoon matinée work. he he

Everyone has times when things gets tough and they need to toughen up but life keeps moving on and we have to keep up with other stuff in life. So that's what this movie is about, in a funny way. So do watch it. Everyone has their own ideas of what a romantic comedy should be like. I am a practical, logical girl and i despise romantic comedies with too much gooey stuff. This movie was just the right amount of everything. Honestly the phrases used have so much deeper meaning, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Paul Rudd is so honest in his role, and Owen Wilson is such a cutie as always!! I really enjoyed the movie, and don't look so much into the movie, its light and funny!

How Do You Know (2010): Dir: James L. Brooks / Cast: Reese Witherspoon, Paul Rudd, Owen Wilson, Jack Nicholson, Kathryn Hahn: Here is a two part film about fate that involves Reese Witherspoon and two men in her life. She was just let go as a soft ball coach and struggles to maintain her composure. Paul Rudd plays a date whom she learns is up on legal charges within his business although he claims innocence. Owen Wilson plays her athletic boyfriend who is so use to picking up women that he fails to grasp the concept of a real relationship. Directed by James L. Brooks who helmed such classics as Terms of Endearment and Broadcast News. His films often study the struggle of relationships verses profession. The subplots are divided within either male Witherspoon happens to be in sequence with. She is weighing her options and despite both males having good points, only one can win her over. Rudd comes off as stressed yet finds relief in Witherspoon. His job is a pressure under circumstances he is unable to make clear, but she provides temporary release. Wilson brings the most humour in his constant screwing up. Witherspoon moves in with him but his emotional understanding is questionable at best. Jack Nicholson plays Rudd's father in a limited yet scene stealing role where Rudd is forced to make a crucial decision. Kathryn Hahn plays a pregnant secretary who gives inside information to Rudd that could save him from going to prison. Romantic fluff done with intelligence and with a theme of fate and our veering into the the unknown. Score: 7 / 10
