I don’t even know why I watched this, there’s not much that would usually interest me. I am not a huge fan of Ben Stiller, though I don’t dislike him. I guess Michelle Monaghan is pretty and has been in good movies that I liked (Gone Baby Gone, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang), but I am not a fan of her either.
The Farrelly brothers have never wowed me like others (There’s something about Mary), actually I didn’t even know this was their movie. I guess I was just looking for something light and fun to watch with my wife. If that’s what you want you’ll be entertained.
Everything is very unoriginal, it’s all based on a lie/misunderstanding between a man and a woman, actually a man and two women. The plot is very simple, the main attraction are the funny scenes and the performances by Stiller.
I have to say, there is one scene that made me ball uncontrollably, I don’t know if I was just in the right mood or what, I just laughed like I haven’t laughed in a long time.
The rest is ok, but as with all rom-com the ending is the least interesting part, because we already know how it’s going to end.
This would usually be a 2 stars, but that scene puts it up just a notch.
Rating: 2.5 Stars
