Simply Perfect

Highly Overrated But Still Good

Absolutely the worst movie.

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

As I began watching this film, I was finding myself chuckling. As the movie progressed, the chuckles turned into laughter. About halfway through, it all came to a screeching and disturbing halt. You see, we have a problem in this country with a social enigma called sex offenders. It's a serious problem, yet this film makes light of it. A false allegation, a misunderstanding and BOOM, a whole town is pasted with SEX OFFENDER flyers condemning an innocent man. It reeked of trying to create laughter from a very sensitive subject. Shame on the writers for exploiting the subject and shame on the cast for pandering to it. If a film has to rely on a stigma to garner laughs, it's not for me. Had it not been for the exploitation, I probably would've given this movie a 6 or 7. Very disappointed.

Poor Sally Field-she became America's sweetheart (you really like me) and ended up in THIS. A low brow, over the top, not so funny comedy with Heather Graham. The film is painfully unfunny at times. I found my face frozen in a state that would indicate that I just smelled something bad. There are a FEW funny moments but they are nothing original or well thought out. Any kid in junior high could have come up with this stuff. There were a few scenes that were entertaining and I think I laughed out loud about 3 times. The rest? It is tired, very tired and the actors are trying real hard to get the laughs. But without funny material they can't pull it off.Some of these actors have done some great stuff in the past but this is something they'll want to forget. In the mood for laughs? You can do better than this!!

Produced by the Farrelly Brother, Andy and Peter (Dumb and Dumber, There's Something About Mary), and directed by J.B. Rogers (American Pie 2), this is a gross-out comedy gone a bit too far. Basically good-hearted Gilbert 'Gilly' Noble (American Pie's Chris Klein) finds the girl of his dreams with Josephine 'Jo' Wingfield (Heather Graham), and they quickly become lovers. Gilly is searching for his long lost mother, and unfortunately, the man who is looking for her announces it is Jo's mother Valdine (Sally Field), so Jo may be Gilly's biological sister, which means they break up, and everyone Gilly knows taunts him about his predicament. Things change however when the real son of Valdine and handicapped (because of a stroke) husband Walter (Richard Jenkins), Leon Pitofsky (Jack Plotnick) shows up, while Gilly travels back to see Jo before marrying Jack Mitchelson (Eddie Cibrian), even thinking of being a sibling, with the help of Dig McCaffrey (Evolution's Orlando Jones). Valdine knows Gilly is trying to get back to Jo, so she reports Gilly as an abuser to the police, so everyone is on the lookout for him, but he gets there in the end, and the brother-sister situation is resolved, they are not. Oh, and Gilly also finds his real biological mother, that being Suzanne Somers, who he apparently used to jerk off to! Also starring John Rothman as Larry Falwell and Mark Pellegrino as Jimmy Mitchelson. There are some amusing moments, but the idea of possible incest is still on your mind throughout, and I think that's why you can't really give a good reason to like it that much. Pretty poor!

I will be very honest. This film shouldn't have been made. It is waste of time and there wasn't even a moment Say It Isn't So cracked me up. All along the film, I look at the screen and watched some meaningless dialogues. There might be weak links in most of the movies but a few things change audiences view in a good way such as strong performances from actors etc. Unfortunately, this is not happening here either. It is a lightweight movie but come on!! If someone finds out that the girl she is in love with is actually his sister, you do some more research. I wasn't looking for such answers before seeing the movie but after having had no laugh I feel that I have to be a bit more harsh and critical on this one. Definitely weak but also irritating. * out of *****
