Der erste Versuch eines Heiratsantrages läuft bei Anderson gehörig schief: Anstatt ja zu sagen, erleidet seine Herzensdame einen Herzinfarkt und stirbt. Jahre später versucht sein Kumpel Ted ihm über die seither vorherrschende Lethargie und Trauer hinwegzuhelfen und überredet Anderson, sich nach einer neuen Liebe umzuschauen. Allerdings meint er es dann doch etwas zu gut, als er der nächstbesten Kellnerin einen Antrag macht. Zu allem Unglück sagt diese auch noch Ja. Das kann eigentlich nicht gut gehen.

I feel like all of the funny bits happened in the last act of the movie and the last act needed to happen a bit sooner since the jail aspect was promoted so heavily by being in the poster. I did actually like how it waited until around the end and I really liked the ending and how it all tied together. Good romance movie with some VERY unique ideas.
Well, Isla Fisher is quickly becoming one of my favorite actresses. From _Wedding Crashers_ to _Definitely Maybe_ and now this. She is the lone bright spot in an otherwise bland, contrived, weak story. I feel so bad for Jason Biggs. Even though he is 10 years older, he is still stuck as poor Jim from _American Pie_ and always will be until he starts taking on some roles with meaning. His schtick wasn't completely juvenile in this movie but that was more than compensated for by his parents. They were two of the most misplaced, disgusting characters I've seen in what is billed as a romantic comedy. Like I said, without Isla Fisher this would be 1/2 star but she at leasts makes this movie just painful.
I have no words. A really good movie, with blackpill elements and good humor. I simply didn't expect it.
Interestingly, cute idea for a romantic comedy but overall it was just really stupid with a lot of random stuff that wasn’t even funny. All in all though it was just a stupid lazy afternoon movie that was OK enough due to the great casting and acting of the lead actor and actress.
In spite of a charmingly sexual Margo Martindale and an overall solid cast. This is a movie that feels like a harder romance spin-off of American Pie. The poster design with the American Pie style stamp doesn't help. Isla and Jason have decent chemistry but nothing you want to write home about. There's gross out scenes for no reason just to remind you that hey this could have been an American Pie spin-off. Honestly I was being facetious the first time I said it as I reread my words. I wonder. What are the chances this was originally supposed to be an American Pie spin off or some sort of spec script and someone said "let's get a red-head and just do it man". There's not too much memorable in it though. It's not gross enough for the gross out comedy. It's not rom enough for the rom-com genre. The big scenes aren't big enough. And it's too blasé for the indie rom-com genre. It has a solid concept but it just doesn't stick the landing. It's watchable but unless you're literally tethered to your desk for hours with nothing else to do and you want to watch something, in 2-3 minute segments spaced with 10-30 minutes of mind numbing work, that you don't have to invest in emotionally or care about when it's done.. then why bother. I mean that's my excuse but what's yours?
