Beautiful, moving film.
There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
I hated everything about this film. The casting was awful and the characters deserved to be hated. Thats not something I say lightly. Alexis is a total bi**h. She treats Dustin like crap and somehow its OK but when he treats her like anything less than perfectly shes outraged and make the traditional romantic drama "victim woman".Then there is the ending where Dustin is pawned off with Alexis' roommate Ami. Now I don't know about you but I would never hook up with someone who could be friends with a girl who treated me like sh*t. I have to say that I hated this film worse than "How to lose a Guy in 10 days" which was pretty bad.
An above average comedy starring Dane Cook, Kate Hudson, Jason Biggs, and slightly more than a cameo from Alec Baldwin. All in all not to bad, I did like all the raunchy humor though so it was entirely a girly girl mush fest. When guys get dumped by their girlfriend's they hire Tank , a egotistical man to say the least with no manners , bad judgment and just you're all around total jerk,, then he takes these girls on a date that will surely be the worst date of their entire lives ensuring them to see the error of their ways and drive them back to their ex-boyfriend,, right,, well for the most part yes,, but when Tank meets his next victim, something happens ,, they both start to fall for each other, not a bad little movie,, not gonna win any Oscars mind you , but above average.
This film is insulting to anyone's intelligence. Its gross, crass humor was not funny because it was completely unbelievable. Here are but a few examples. -I don't know whether or not the Jewish guys that run Hollywood have a secret hatred against Christians that comes out in their movies, but it's one explanation for the Jesus-bashing that is recurrent in many comedies. If they had done the same to Allah, they would no doubt put their lives in jeopardy. At one point, Tank and a girl go to a pizzeria called "Cheezus Crust". A huge mural of he Last Supper is on the wall, with Jesus and the Apostles eating pizza. The pizza is served in the shape of a large cross, covered with toppings. Tank has a card where he gets a discount for the times he's eaten at this establishment. The card depicts ten images of Jesus's palm and each visit earns a hole punch in the palm, like a nail in the palm when crucified - get it? -Kate Hudson's character is a complete tramp. Why Biggs' character is in love with a girl who constantly has sex with a human sex toy is not believable. Alec Baldwin plays Tank's dad, a college professor who teaches a women's studies class. Naturally, all the college girls swoon over Baldwin's character and vie for the opportunity to have sex with him. I can see this happening in 1990, when Baldwin was a stud. Back then, girls would no doubt line up around the block to be with him. But look at Baldwin circa 2008. His puffy, squinty-eyed face ad flabby physique resembles absolutely nothing of the young Baldwin. This 50-something guy would repulse any college coed.Then, there's the scene where Tank misbehaves himself at a wedding reception. People tolerate his presence as he does at least ten things that would have (a) gotten him immediately ejected (b) caused him to be severely beaten, or (c) had him arrested. He takes the bride and groom figures off the top of the wedding cake and uses them as a spoon to scrape chunk after chunk of cake and slurp it down. He describes the act of backdoor sex to a table of nine-year-old boys. He tells a filthy joke to a priest and a rabbi. He walks up to the bride and groom as they dance solo on the dance floor, tries to cut in, and vomits four times. Everybody just lets him. He sits down and tells a 50 year old woman that she must have been a great slice of **** pie in her day. Then, he stands up, drops his pants and underwear; exposing himself, and demands oral sex from her.This movie could have been funny. Biggs is a funny guy, famous for gross-out movies that are actually funny. This one, however, isn't.
I was truly impressed. Yes, this is it. Your funny, cheerful, laughable, cute etc romantic comedy. I didn't know what to expect, but what I got was a great entertainment. My mood was on top afterwards. The story here centers around a talented fancy man with big mouth and fast paced text. The dialogues between him and his best friend and his pseudo girlfriend are very funny. It's really hard to ignore those. Although the screenplay has some holes, the movie is so cool it covers that up.Dane Cook (Tank Turner) is extremely good. I believe he talks just like Tank in real life too. Lots of swearing, but the charisma is there at the same time, so he scores pretty much every time. Kate Hudson (Alexis) is cute as always.Watching this movie, made me think that girls come and go, but it's the best friends who stay. They are there when you need them and they are able to help you. Romantic comedy, eh? Sure, but it has an hidden point.
