A movie fan gave it a 5:
This movie was not a comedy. It had a couple funny scenes, but mostly, this movie was just a love story. The concept was interesting, but it was sort of wasted in this movie. The concept is hilarious. Unfortunately, where there should have been jokes, there just weren't. This all adds up to a somewhat sad ending.
D. Poulin gave it a 0:
I love Chris Rock but this movie is the most pathetic I have seen in years. I felt sorry for all the actors in it, except the hilarious Jennifer Coolidge (Stiffler's mom in American Pie) who as usual steels the show.
Stew G. gave it a 6:
...was funny in parts only. The script needs to be better!
Penny L. gave it an 8:
This movie is very, very, very funny!!
Marina G. gave it a 6:
Tries too hard to be funny and doesn't succeed. Rock is better as a comic than as an actor. Too much moralizing.
Dan Z. gave it a 10:
Hilarious movie; Chris Rock is funny.
