Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com
Matthew Perry is a gifted comic actor whose style works nicely on TV but somehow hasn't translated into movie success. To change the formula a bit, Serving Sara puts Perry in a slightly scruffier mode, and pairs him with an actress whose sexiness and comic aplomb should be a good counterpart to his wonderfully shticky style: Elizabeth Hurley. And it still doesn't work. This one is set in the exciting world of process-serving, where Perry teams up with jilted wife Hurley to sting her rich husband (reliable goof Bruce Campbell). This screwball plot might have worked if the two stars evinced any chemistry together, and if director Reginald Hudlin knew how to set up a scene. Bright spot: Cedric the Entertainer, as Perry's boss, gets laughs just from doing the tiniest bits of business while seated behind his desk. No small thing in a movie that otherwise labors. --Robert Horton

1.0 out of 5 stars Totally useless, October 14, 2004

By	PATHERSON - See all my reviews

This review is from: Serving Sara (Full Screen Edition) (DVD)

I've watched it until the end, I admit it. I seldom leaves a movie before its ending. But this was torture, sheer torture. What was I thinking when I rent this?

Simple. I tought: this has Elizabeth Hurley, georgeous as ever, azamingly beautiful. Also, here we have Matthew Perry, a good comic actor, even if you don't enjoy FRIENDS. So, what went wrong? Everything.

They have no chemistry togehter. The script is a bad mess full of bad jokes (the worst of them all being when Perry has to "help" a bull to get a full erection..... You will simply not believe what your eyes are seeing... One of the worst comedies ever!

3.0 out of 5 stars Could have been so much better!, February 19, 2005

By	L Gontzes (Athens, Greece) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Serving Sara (Full Screen Edition) (DVD)

Serving Sara was quite a disappointment, considering the makeup of the cast: Matthew Perry and Elizabeth Hurley, among others!
The two of them are gorgeous (as ALWAYS), but the acting is not great, the humor is very poor, and the plot is below average.
Though the potential for a good movie was definitely there it fails to take off. A shame really...
In a nutshell, it's just an ok movie, and that's about it; it lacks that extra something to put it over the top. No masterpiece here.

4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable., January 25, 2005

By	#1 Kiss Army Soldier "Ramiro" (La Paz, Bolivia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Serving Sara (Widescreen Edition) (DVD)

I saw this one almost two years ago. I realy enjoyed it. I think it was very enjoyable and very interesting, although weak acting by ELIZABETH HURLEY. I think that the plot was not that good, but the jokes covered that part. I think it is a light comedy for those who do not like too crazy comedy movies.
Enjoyable, overall.
