Brief synopsis of Buying The Cow

David (Jerry O'Connell) and his girlfriend, Sarah (Bridgette Wilson), have been together for five years, and now she's forcing him to make a decision--while she's away for two months, he has to either decide to marry her or face losing her. To help him make his decision, David calls on his lady killing best pals (Ryan Reynolds and Bill Bellamy) to hit the town with him and check out the L.A. singles scene to see if he can find a better alternative to what he's already got! While out on the town, David meets a seductive mystery woman--at the same time that Sarah's dashing boss puts the moves on her in New York. Will these two stick together or head for greener pastures

Despite having an almost decent cast, including Ryan Reynolds and Ron Livingston, Buying The Cow is an almost complete failure.

While there are those that might find a man watching a 'Are You Gay?' video funny, or a jokes involving 'well developed' 11 year olds amusing, I was not one.

Bridgette Wilson and Jerry O'Connell have zero chemistry as our leading lady and man, which is quite ironic, as they are both total personality and charisma free zones, and would probably work well together in real life. Its a shame she managed to marry the only man duller on the entire planet (Pete Sampras) before this movie was made.

So, go ahead if you've got an unbearable urge to lower your IQ, but the rest should stay clear.

Very funny movie where misunderstanding each other is key term. It worth watching it. The movie has a lot of very funny scenes.

I enjoyed this movie, it has alot of very funny parts. Probably not the best storyline although I didn't see the end coming! Worth watching for sure.

OK I admit I am a sucker for a silly comedy and this film did go straight to video, but saying that, this was still highly enjoyable. The main plot was engrossing enough with a few fun twists but this film is worth watching just for the scenes with Ryan Reynolds (Van Wilder).

He is so funny and his scenes are hilarious. To watch him descend into deepening anxiety over his sexual 'choice' was fantastic. Worth watching just for that.

Don't expect too much and you'll be pleasantly surprised at how fun this is.
