I found this movie hilarious and quite enjoyable. The music is great and any Janeane Garofalo fans will be pleased. Sure you have to suspend some belief sometimes and the main plot setup is a bit far-fetched but for me the laugh out loud moments far outweighed any other considerations. Give this one a try.

No, this movie won't win any awards, but for a Sunday afternoon it wasn't a bad watch. I actually enjoyed the movie. Janeane was her usual angst ridden self. Tamala Jones was hilarious ("booty doo" cracked me up). I actually came to see if it was on DVD, and to my delight it is!

I usually won't watch movies directed by anyone but Mizoguchi (Kenji), (Michelangelo) Antonioni,(Ingmar)Bergman and lots of undeservedly obscure Japanese, African, Eastern European, etc. directors (I should own stock in the Criterion Collection) -- and I LOVED this movie. I bought copies in bulk and sent them to all my friends and THEY REALLY LIKED IT THIS FILM, TOO. (The title and the credits are, indeed, unfortunate, to put it tactfully.) However, I thought the casting, acting, writing, direction and editing were all terrific. As you can deduce, I highly recommend this film!

This is from the start to finish a Chick Flick. Not much here for guys.

I was disappointed in this movie. The delightfully sarcastic and grumpy Janeane Garofalo that I expected would entertain me was replaced by a weak and nervous character that made predictably embarrassing choices. It did not live up to "The Match Maker," which I thoroughly enjoyed.

I really enjoyed this movie even though I rarely watch U.S. movies. The casting, the acting, the writing, the directing and the editing are terrific in my opinion. One small quibble: the credits in the edition I have are pretty embarassingly bad -- but they only last for a minute.
Highly recommended by my friends and me!

This is a really bad, made for TV movie for the Oxygen network. Made for TV movies are generally below par, but this one is 400 notches below that. I couldn't even make it through the whole thing. It's extremely depressing to watch, because it's so badly written and directed. Seeing Janeane Garofalo in this tripe makes it especially painful as well. Knowing how articulate and intelligent she can be, it hurts to see her in this "film". Maybe she had bills to pay. She deserve better material, a lot better. She has a cult fan base, and perhaps they're willing to see her in any type of setting. I'm not, but I would love to see her in something brilliant. Despite all this, Janeane is still worth watching, no matter what she does. Me watching this garbage shows how much I like her as an actress.

The fact that this is out on DVD proves that they will put just about anything on DVD.
