- This Roger Kumble romp is unfairly, indecently funny, with its committed cast and shrewd script raising the bar from Farellys to GROUNDHOG DAY sharpness.

  Maybe it became funny after I'd turned it off
  
  I turned it off after 15 minutes as it had already committed too many comedic crimes. I was looking for something light for escapism but it just wasn't for ... read more »

  Pretty awful. Such a shame as I love Ryan Reynolds and Anna Faris is normally very funny but unfortunately this film doesn't do either of them justice.read more »

  This is the worst film i've ever seen
  
  Horrendous, don't bother. Not funny extremely annoying characters. I'm amazed this had three stars. I would have rather watched water evaporate

  poor film
  
  I couldn't wait for it to end, a few funny gags and stunts but i wouldn't recommend! Really no storyline even for a romcom.

  Watchable - but not much more than that
  
  In high school, Ryan Reynolds loves Amy Smart but she considers him just a friend - hence the title. He's devastated and heads for the big city.
