Perpetual man-child Mike (Jon Tenney) breaks up with his mature, pretty girlfriend, Anne (Suzy Amis), but doesn't have to dwell on it, thanks to Danny (Tom Sizemore) and Rick (John C. McGinley), both of whom share his immaturity and fear of emotional intimacy. Roommates in a Chicago house, they play an ongoing game called "Watch It!" involving pranks. But "Watch It!" stops being harmless fun when Mike's more soulful cousin, John (Peter Gallagher), moves in and takes an interest in Anne.

08/11/2019 Really fun romantic comedy with great acting, clever script, and charismatic Suzy Amis See more 06/11/2016 The is a hilariously funny movie. See more 11/07/2011 Nice little comedy when its following the 'Watch It' pranks run on people, but it gets really heavy drama in the middle. Weird seeing a skinny, sober Tom Sizemore!! McGinley is great here too! See more 12/15/2009 Mediocre comedy, good performances from the females in the cast. The guys do alright, but they are such immature jerks it hurts the film. When you lose interest in some of the characters, you tend to lose interest in the film as well. See more 10/15/2006 5.5/10. Mediocre comedy, good performances from the females in the cast. The guys do alright, but they are such immature jerks it hurts the film. When you lose interest in some of the characters, you tend to lose interest in the film as well. See more 01/09/2006 I got this movie because I love John C. McGinley. That, and I had read some reviews on Amazon praising it as a really funny and sweet romantic comedy. Well, I was pleased to see Johnny C. looking so young and handsome...but that was just about the only thing I enjoyed. I have never actually watched The O.C., but like any other person who owns a television, I have seen what seems like hours of promos for it. I always thought Peter Gallagher was a pretty good-looking guy. NOT in this movie--he was just scary-looking, and he did a pretty shitty acting job too. One of my pet peeves in romantic comedies is couples who fall in love WAY too quickly...like, they don't know each other at all, and then they get married and live happily ever after. My favorite romcoms are always the ones where the couple has a history--like Annie Hall, and (okay, totally different ballpark) You've Got Mail. The plot device of the Watch It game was cute and sometimes pretty funny. But all in all, it's far from a favorite. See more Read all reviews
