Twice during the movie I actually tried to go to sleep. This is after an exciting trailer that promised some edgy comedy. What ended up being delivered was stereotypes, masturbation jokes and cliche after cliche after cliche.
Katherine Heigel seems fake with her canned personality in this movie. Yes, there are women who search for men by a check list, but she never seems like that woman. She seems like a woman who wants to believe in the check list, when she actually believes in a holistic approach.
Gerard Butler is even worse. His tougher outer shell is neither tough or genuine. He breaks like an egg when you look at him wrong and therefore his character seems completely fake. You want to think this is some suave guy, but he apparently falls apart when he meets a woman who can string 2 sentences together.
Oh yeah, his accent sucks balls too.
This movie feels like a mish mash of scenes with no real direction. THe ending is probably the worst offender of this and when the movie was over i wasn't sure what had just happened.
Don't see this. Don't ever see this.
If you need a Heigel fix watch "Knocked Up." For Butler watch "Rock'n'rolla." For a similar type of rom-com, which is done well, try "Pretty Woman." You've got completely different people, with contrasting views, who fall in love and don't make me want to die. Ok, it's not a great comparison, but i kind of want to see it...
Wait, better comparison.. Enchanted!! Cynical divorcee and optimistic princess. Boom.
