      Audience Member Pretty funny movie, if you can get over the cheesy acting. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Super fun and funny film Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie is hilarious, once again the critics get it wrong. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Omg. So she wants to marry him and when he doesn't she shoots him. The plot is crazy. Not sure how I feel about this one yet. Certain moments I understood her anger completely, others I was just confused. I'm still confused as I write this. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review hardy c Despite RT's absurdly low rating this is actually a funny film about the vagaries of The L Word. Yes it is not a true "date film" since it really questions the whole meaning of romance but it will amuse you. Wilson is super hot of course and Stewart is his usual comic self. Not an Oscar nominee to be sure but not the disaster RT's critics make it out to be. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member I couldn't finish watching it. This movie STINKS!!!

Rated: 1/4 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Chuck Klosterman Akron Beacon Journal This is a movie for aging bachelors who hate women and have given up all hope of ever getting married.
