This movie is my favorite. It has so many truths and is hilarious. I recommend to any guy. It helps explain relationships. It also faces everyday problems with dating and finding the one. A must see for anyone between the ages of 20 - 40. Has some great characters kind of like Tomcats. The guy from Office Space, and others. If you like comedies you will love this movie. THere are a lot of one liners too that are very funny. Ryan Renolds is great too. I like how they explain dating problems and finding "the one". THe movie flows very well especially when Ryan thinks he is gay!lol and the flashbacks at the airport.

4 years after the movie was made, I stumbled upon a gem. I was sucked in 15 minutes after it started and couldn't leave my couch even to hardly run to the bathroom. It was that great. A true representation of relationships, what guys and girls are looking for and a true replica of the men I have dated in the past. It made me wonder why I was asking the guy I have been with for 4 years for a commitment. I like to think I walked away from this film with a few more laughs and some good insight on what it is guys want or think they want! The cast was inspiring and a fun look at where some of them were just 4 years ago and how far they have come. I wish there was some more movies that made me laugh and think out loud.

Watching "Buying the Cow" makes me laugh occasionally and keeps me interested in the characters and what will happen. I keep my eyes on the film the whole way through however I will not expect myself to see it again. The film is about young men which haven't yet found true love. One of them believes he has already found his sole-mate but she got away and his girlfriend wants to get married. Being afraid that he will marry the wrong girl, he doesn't want to marry until he is sure he has found "the right one". His friend on the other hand is a player. He has slept with lots of girls but has yet to discover his true love. During the film there are a couple of twists, although they are not completely unexpected, and you can stop and pick up some laughs along the way. You could even say the film had a deeper message but that would be far fetched. If the film was a meal, it would be something that made me full, satisfied my needs and something I would vaguely remember but I would hardly order it again. A comedy which is has cliché written all over it; yet it is somehow unpredictable, unique and entertaining.

Buying the Cow is a jolly enough romantic movie but it certainly isn't without its flaws. Firstly, the opening theme looks a little too 1970s - something that I don't consider to be all that fashionable for a 21st century film unless it's set in that decade. Secondly, the story shines bright at first but at the end the main plot loses its importance and the silly side plots take over. Thirdly, the jokes aren't all that original or funny. Fourthly, the songs are hardly familiar, except for the odd one. And fifthly, does "Buying the Cow" sound like the right title for this film? Indeed, at times it looked like the producers were barely trying, but it just about maintains one's attention. Therefore, I would recommend that one should only watch this film if he or she really wishes to.
