      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      The movie could have benefited from a more experienced director, but a great cast and script overcome any first time jitters the director may have had.

      Greg J Humorous moments with a layer of unexplored angst. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/06/22 Full Review Audience Member This one is pretty good. Campbell Scott does a good job with his character, Roger. Who is a complete womanizing A-Hole. Jesse Eisenberg is pretty good in his first film. The first time director Dylan Kidd gets a little to flashy with his camera. It's always moving and has constant close ups of the characters. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Rodger is the guy who has all the answers when dealing with the women, but he's the one that ultimately ends up blowing it, alienating the very women he thinks he knows so well. He's arrogant with little sense of humor and his antics get old quick. He's the guy that's too smart for the room, so in his arrogance and impatience with "inferior people", he badgers them with his wit and antics. He's always about coming out on top, not necessarily being the nice guy. Ultimatly, its his more in touch and sincere 16 yr old cousine who sets the ladies afire with his honest and sensitive insights. Solid cast and dialogue that sincerley gets to the human core of relatuons between women and men. A little lenghty, but overall the movie is engaging and intereating Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member I found it to be dull and pointless... But that's me. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member great dialogue! not many movies can keep you entertained for 2 hours purely on dialogue,but this one pulls it off like no other... one if my favorite night time movies Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review scott m A movie about picking up chicks. Campbell Scott plays a ladies man whose goal is to impress a teenage relative of his on how to do it. He's really convincing too. I just love the end of the movie too when he goes to the teen's school and redeems himself. Good movie. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
