Borrowing from romantic comedies and gross-out flicks, it tries to appeal to everybody, but this misogynistic chick flick instead pleases nobody.

Rated: 25/100

Jerry O'Connell plays a man who decides to head back to the dating pool when his longtime girlfriend pressures him to make a commitment. Although the main story involves O'Connell, there's quite a bit of ridiculous subplot involving his friend played by Ryan Reynolds, which to be fair is more enjoyable than the main plot. Decent movie with a few good laughs.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars
