Dane Cook has never been funny once in his entire life and Jessica Alba is just here to be looked at like always. Yawn.

Though its about a romance between Alba and Cook, you can almost feel an epic tug-of-war going on between the two of them; Cook trying to make the film dreadful, Alba trying to make it just bearable.

Oh dear. The only thing worse than an unfunny rom-com is by trying to make the film more appealing by adding in pointless, sexist nudity scenes and more unfunny but puerile gags.

The only thing worse than an unfunny rom-com is by trying to make the film more appealing by adding in pointless, sexist nudity scenes and more unfunny but puerile gags. It gets two more points than it deserves because I smiled three times and Dane Cook, Jessica Alba and Dan Fogler at least tried (a bit). Still, you'd think that Jessica Alba is too good for these types of films by now, but no.

Avoid at all costs.… Expand

I ended up stopping the movie about 20 min in. I figured I can handle a few boob scenes. This movie is not worth seeing, unless you enjoy watching other people have sex. Or if you enjoy watching other people have sex, with your family and friends. Its ridiculous what they can put on movies now a days. The beginning of it shocked me beyond reason.. Those little kids, and that little girl, topless... Absolutely out of this world.. Mark Helfrich Josh Stolberg Steve Glenn Might as well be pedophiles or porn directors. What a huge waste of money. I hated this movie Cannot say it enough. Dane Cook, your not that good looking, you do not need a movie to boost your self esteem. Pretty sure women will not sleep with you like that in the real world. Jessica Alba, you could of done better. Not a movie for such a pretty, young, talented woman as yourself. Suprising you took the part... Anyway, the only other thing this movie has to offer is the infamous fat Dan Fogler. That dirty sick sad little man. Horrible jokes, horrible lines. Typical guy who never gets anything and wishes he did. No one in the room laughed once during it. Please people, keep young eyes AWAY from this movie. And couples, do not watch it, watching your boyfriend get an erection during a movie...well its not somthing you want to expeirience. I am off of my soap box now. Let the critizing and judging begin.… Expand

Despite the cheesy overdone and predictable "romantic comedy" themes, I found myself (and everybody else in the theater) laughing throughout the movie.

I didn't understand Cook's strategy, which I don't think he did either. Stu isn't as repulsive as others say. He doesn't repulse me nearly as much as the dialog in Super Bad.

It's not always bad, but after a straight hour of it, you'll be looking for at least ONE inkling of intelligence in this slow, mostly uninteresting comedy. Dane is Dane, no real available comments on his acting, because it's not really acting at all, it's just Dane. As far as Jessica Alba goes, she just does what she's supposed to: act dumb with a big heart. As for uneven, it stretches itself in moments of big reaches for hilarity, and then coming back to an absolutely absurd love story, and terrible dialogue with pick-up lines commenting on a girl being like a penguin, and how they're awkward when they're out of water, and beautiful in it. How that was supposed to make Alba feel when he said that, i have no idea. Dane's friend is half hilarious, half annoying. You'll eventually tire of him (along with just about everything else in the movie) but he is able to have his moments. The one who seems to pull out the best is Alba's brother, the marijuana man. Every time he's put on the screen it's funny, and sticks to what this script was supposed to exude all along: good-natured comedy. But when you water it down with drab, overdramatic lines of love and loss of love, you end up with someone completely unentertaining. And the last half hour or so of this movie is absolutely atrocious, which brings any humor you experienced in the first parts to completely go out the window. The ending credits however, are a joy. They're the funniest part of the entire movie, which, however sad it may be, at least gives you some hope Dane can still be funny. Sadly, you won't still want to be in the theater when the credits finally make their way down.… Expand

At first I didn't even want to see this, thanks to the reviews, but my friends thought it was hilarious and I wanted to prove them wrong. I was prepared to see a sexist, cheap and dumb film about f*cking a lot and exploiting women, but it was I that was (surprisingly) proven wrong. And during the subtitles I thought, "Why all the hate?" Maybe people need to be more open-minded sometimes.
