2.0 out of 5 stars Funny Only if You've Never Seen a Movie Before, April 8, 2009
Pointless, dumb and self-indulgent is my synopsis to something that neither is a story nor contains a plot but does contain a hodgepodge of poorly, reworked comedic scenes found in countless films over the past 80 years. The film goes something like this: desperate people meet; try to sort things out through one dumb error after another (supposedly the funny parts); finally it all works out and they live happily ever after. There's suppose to be a quirky insider look at the movie making industry but, alas, nothing anyone born after 1930 doesn't already know. Add run-of-the-mill acting and fragmented directing/editing to make for a boring and tortuous viewing experience. Even the reviewers that gave it 5 stars (do they work for the studio?) consistently had little to say about the movie.

1.0 out of 5 stars The worst movie ever, March 28, 2009
A Kid's Review
I had high hopes for this movie. After Meg Ryan being off the scene for some some I thought she was better than this movie. It started off with the star wanting to commit sucide and the first five minutes were the worst part of the film - and depressing. The movie had no plot and certainly no substance. There was a LOT of profanity which could have been left out. I thought Hollywood and certainly Meg Ryan could have faired better. Don't waste your time and money on this one.

1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible, July 26, 2009
This is the worst Meg Ryan movie EVER !! Thought she could have made better choices. Really lame. Lot of profanity, ever other word.
Don't know why it is rated so high. Will think twice about watching Meg again. Don't wasted your time and money. Would have given this a negative number but not a choice
