Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
This generic sex comedy--about a guy who can't decide whether or not to marry his girlfriend because he's still obsessed with a girl he saw in an airport when he was a teenager--really has only one thing to recommend it: Ryan Reynolds (Coming Soon, Van Wilder). Reynolds plays the main character's horndog friend who becomes convinced he's gay, and while much of his material is of dubious taste and quality, Reynolds has a mixture of ironic detachment and actor commitment that makes the most of his role. Everyone else--Jerry O'Connell (as the obsessed guy), Bridgette L. Wilson (as his understandably frustrated girlfriend), Ron Livingston, Bill Bellamy, and Alyssa Milano--have their moments, but the script doesn't offer them much to work with. When it isn't drowning in clichés about men and women, it's trying way too hard to be "over the top." --Bret Fetzer

4.0 out of 5 stars Ever escaped out the toilet window?, March 2, 2004
By Streakblondie "streakblondie" (Lower Hutt, Wellington New Zealand) - See all my reviews
Well then, this is one for you!

This movie has some extremely hilarious moments .... Ryan Reynolds (you'll know him from Van Wilder) is the absolute "bomb" in this movie .... I won't ruin all the surprises for you, but this is not your usual comedy!

Unfortunately, some of the storyline gets a bit "drowned" (for want of a better word) and at times can move along a little slowly .... however, Jerry O'Connell is as always really good in a comedy and the end result is a pretty darn good movie!

A word of warning though, if you are breaking up or if you have just broken up, you may not want to watch this movie cause it's all about relationships ..... I say this cause I thought this was hilarious, but my friend who has just broken up his relationship (and normally would have enjoyed it) squirmed in his seat in parts of it ....

All in all, a unique storyline that has it's moments and will make you laugh out loud (perhaps to the point where you can't breathe properly ... Ryan Reynolds you are the man)!!

Give this one a go!

4.0 out of 5 stars Married to it., January 24, 2003
The cast alone is a reason to see this movie. Jerry O'Connell is his usual quirky funny self, Brigitte Wilson follows in her own footsteps as a girl wanting to get married (Love Stinks and Wedding Planner), Ryan Reynolds is hilarious as a guy who is so much of a player, mistakes himself for gay when he wakes up in what he thinks is a guys bed, and Alyssa Milano takes a break from the norm as the stripper with a heart of gold. O'Connell plays Dave, a commitment phobe who has just been given the ultimatum by his hotter then life girlfriend (played by Bridgett Wilson). She leaves for New York, leaving him to his own devices. Little does she know, he is stuck in 1st gear because of a near intimate moment in an airport when he was 16. The girl in the airport left a mark on his life and he is afraid if he marries his girlfriend he will be missing out on his soulmate. Reynolds is hilarious as the guy that is so in love with himself he should be gay. On his quest for the one, he wakes up in a strange bed and does not remember anything from the night before. When a guy walks in and starts to clean up around him, he thinks that he has had sex with him and begins to question his sexuality, which leads to very humorous scenes with Reynolds (nearly naked and man is he hot!!!). Alyssa Milano rounds out the cast as Amy, a stripper who used to date Dave and is now friends with the boys. A very funny movie and a movie that should be seen if you like movies like Tomcats and American Pie. Enjoy it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than expected
Yes it falls into the fairly predictable romantic comedy genre; but if that's the genre you like, this is one of the best.
