Serving Sara

Fetching Sara Moore (Elizabeth Hurley) thinks that she is a happily married woman until process server Joe Tyler (Matthew Perry) shows up at her Manhattan apartment to serve her with divorce papers. Sara gives Joe a run for his money, fleeing to the Estee Lauder Salon (a nice touch for those who know Hurley as the company's representative) and dodging him all around New York City. Realizing that she stands to lose everything in the divorce to her Texan cattle-rancher husband (Bruce Campbell) if she is served first, Sara hires Joe to turn the tables and serve her husband first. As the two leave New York for Texas in pursuit of Gordon, they engage in luggage carousel hijinx, have a run-in with a bull, and find themselves at a Monster Truck rally, among other places. Of course, true love is always just around the corner as Sara and Joe spend more time together in pursuit of saving her millions. Vincent Pastore plays Joe's foil, Tony, who has been sabotaging Joe's work for months in order to impress the boss (Cedric "The Entertainer" Kyles) and become the company's star process server.

    Elizabeth Hurley adds to her list of posh clothes-horse roles with this amiable comedy from House Party director Reginald Hudlin. Playing the British trophy wife of Bruce Campbell's unfaithful Texan millionaire, she sets out for financial revenge when she receives divorce papers from acerbic process server Matthew Perry. Though Perry can't seem to escape his Friends persona, coming on like a more worldly Chandler, his strong chemistry with Hurley and the story's gentle absurdity keep proceedings buoyant. The leads may not be excellent actors, but they are fun to watch, and — like the film itself — they don't take themselves too seriously. The end result is predictable, shallow fluff, yet there's something quite appealing about such undemanding viewing.

  • Farcical chase comedy with a coarse line in jokes and little else to recommend it.

    Serving Sara

    This is a typical cheap American comedy. Matthew Perry looked awkward and unfunny compared to his usual 'Chandler' role. Liz Hurley tries hard in this movie and just about pulls it off. It is an easy going film with the odd laugh but a weak storyline - watchable but never taxing! If 'weekend at Bernies' had you howling in the 80's, then this might just be your cup of tea!

    Watchable

    Not a bad movie, a few good laughs, mediocre story line, worth watching.
