Wow, these filmmakers really know how to punch us in the face, don't they? This movie offers you absolutely nothing, boasting a solid cast and a terrible, terrible script that possesses lame jokes that are more depressing than funny.

Promising premise is consistently undermined by its presentation. This should have been a lot more fun and certainly much funnier. Instead it plays more like 'Fatal Attraction,' instead of the romantic comedy I'm sure was Promising premise is consistently undermined by its presentation. This should have been a lot more fun and certainly much funnier. Instead it plays more like 'Fatal Attraction,' instead of the romantic comedy I'm sure was intended. Thurman's reckless overbearing character quickly grows insufferable and oppressive. The film grows increasingly more preposterous and silly as it goes along, all the while unraveling like a dropped ball of yarn. Big disappointment! Expand

This was supposed to be a comedy, but it just wasn't funny. In fact, it wasn't much of anything.

There are some pretty funny moments during the movie but they don't last too long and I think what really lets it down is the fact that it seemed very predictable. It just seemed a bit TOO daft to me and the ending was a little cheesy too,There are some pretty funny moments during the movie but they don't last too long and I think what really lets it down is the fact that it seemed very predictable. It just seemed a bit TOO daft to me and the ending was a little cheesy too, perhaps. I thought that the movie was alright but they maybe tried a bit too hard to make a movie based on a rather short story. I think it may have worked better if, instead of making it clear from the movie title that she gets dumped, instead that came as a surprise and wasn't obvious, then it might have been funnier as people wouldn't expect to see what happened. As it is, it seemed a bit too obvious I suppose. There definately are some funny moments but their a bit too fleeting and I felt as if the movie almost took itself too seriously. Knowing that this movie is an Ivan Reitman movie, I suppose I felt I expected something a bit more, substantial I suppose, or at least less mediocre.

However, one other character, other than Eddie's, that I quite liked, was Hannah Lewis, a workmate of Matts that G-Girl got jealous towards Matt about, thinking that he was also seeing her behind her back (which he wasn't, at the time). Hannah is played by Anna Faris, who I like as an actress from the Scary Movie movies, she has good facial expressions, if you know what I mean. Her and Eddie as professor Bedlam (or Barry as his real name is, who, as it turns out, is actually G-Girls old ex school friend) make it a slightly more interesting movie as their characters I thought were pretty good. Luke is, as always, a good actor and does fine in this movie, though I thought that there wasn't a great deal particularly to like about his character, I suppose we're supposed to feel sorry for him as he seems to be quite a shy guy that doesn't really know how to do handle relationships or certainly get out of them well. The way he dumps her though, I say he got what he deserved *hah* I guess maybe im being a bit unfair on this movie, it is certainly entertaining enough to keep teens (which I guess its mainly targeted at/for) quiet for the hour and a half it lasts but its just nothing all THAT great really, I felt that we watch the movie already knowing too much of the story and that kind of spoils it in a sense. It certainly isn't the kind of movie that I would want to watch many times, if again at all really, so I'd recommend you either rent this or get it on pay per view but don't bother buying it.
