For some reason I hired this out on video and I know that I had made a big mistake after 10 minutes. I found this movie to be that uninteresting I decided to watch a majority of the movie on fast forward.What can I say about this movie? Like I said before, it was very uninteresting and I didn't care for it at all.I guess the main reason why I disliked this movie is because it was a chick's flick, and it wasn't something that appealed to me.Well you can't always judge a movie by it's cover.Not to worry, life goes on.Unless this type of movie appeals to you, you may like it.In the meantime, I am giving this the lowest rating possible.1/10.

It is also nice to see the girls who would later become Hollywood's sweethearts, like Jaime Pressly, Katherine Heigl, Emmanuelle Chriqui or Larisa Oleynik.The story is that of a guy who meets - and loses his virginity to - a girl in an elevator, in complete darkness. He wakes up in the morning to find the girl gone and himself at a loss about her identity. Surely enough, he embarks on a journey to discover who she is from a girl dormitory of 100 suspects.The good part was the idea that each girl was different, as indeed was every male character in the film. The bad part is the condescending perspective on boy/girl relationships and the "problems" in them. Also it was fantastically insulting to see a film pretending to be sensitive to girl needs, then present Marissa Ribisi as the ugliest possible girl. I bet there was a spike in suicides in America after this film was released.Anyway, the film is light, the mystery obvious and possibly the only thing making it watchable (aside from the youthful shapes of lovely girls) was the lead, Johnathan Tucker, whose goofiness was perfect for the role. Some introspective insights into the nature of intimacy were the strengths of the film, while the character of Crick and every story arch related to him were absolutely horrid.Bottom line: a watchable romantic movie, too simplistic and formulaic to appeal to any adult, but probably offering a few lessons for very young viewers. I don't recommend it, but I didn't hate it either.
... View MoreThe script to this film was wonderfully intelligent. The metaphors and similes were vivid, tangible things that let you really feel the meaning of what the writer was saying. They were poorly introduced, and the acting wasn't fantastic, but those were not the key points of this film. The director and writer wasn't trying to speak to you through those portions of the film's anatomy, they were there as filler to simply make it possible to put the excellent script onto a piece of film. This film makes you think, addresses interesting issues in gripping ways from both sides, but can be misinterpreted if you try to skim over its message. I would recommend it if you are willing to give it a shot and aren't one of those people that gets up-in-arms over every little mildly politically-incorrect thing. The film illustrates sexism by demonstrating at times, and you have to understand that otherwise you'll be offended.
... View MoreIf you want to watch a movie written for women who want to be with a beta male; but don't really want to. This film is for you. This movie is like watching a little skinny white kid crush his testicles in front of a room filled with rabid misandrists; over, and over, again.The main actor in the film does a surprisingly good job with his horribly written voice overs that drone on; but they use a lot of big words; so it's clever; right?All in all, the movie is visually and auditorilly bland like butter-less toast. It wishes it could be a good romantic comedy like the barrage of excellent films that came out in the 80s. If you haven't seen Better Off Dead yet; watch that instead.
