Say It Isn't So Trailers

Boy meets girl; boy falls in love (and had wild, non-stop sex) with girl; boy loses girl... when they discover they are brother and sister! But when he learns that he's the victim of the ultimate case of mistaken identity, the lovesick young man -- whom everyone still thinks is after some taboo thrills -- must race across the country to stop her from marrying another man.

I did not like this movie at all. Nor did I find it funny. Weird, stupid, had a bunch of incestuous and gross moments. This movie did have a good ending though. I have just one question. Sally Field, Orlando Jones - what made you be in this movie?I rated this movie a 2.

I have no illusions on my sense of humor, i am lowbrow to a tee the bluer the better.With that in mind i went into this film already as a fan of the Ferrelly Brothers, Dumb and Dumber, There's something about Mary,etc etc. So naturally i was expecting some laughs and i got them and then sum. The Story is basic, guy meets girl, there is horrible mix up, hilarity ensues. Although lowbrow the gags in this films are hysterical, My favorite easily is in the asylum during group therapy, when one patient asks the main character if he had sex with the female lead to which he responds yes and the first patients " Me and my wife had sex once a week till she died...then it was three or four times a week" Seriously i almost died at that line and on top of that one of the other prominent patients looked exactly like a very good friend of mine. The jokes are crude and nothing is really sacred here. You got jokes about the disabled, incest, homosexuality, necrophilia, bestiality, semen, penis and fart jokes...its all here but consistently funny. Not for kids but to be honest not much from the this directing team is, so who cares sit back and have some laughs i know i have

We have heard of stories where people married only to find out that they were brother and sister.Such is this movie, where a couple are about to marry when they find this out. Unfortunately, they should have quit there instead of extending the story where the girl goes back to her rich lover and the guy finds out that the woman isn't really his sister so he runs back to woo her.It was at this point that the film became rather inane.Sally Field steals the show here as the obnoxious mother who tries to keep the story going so that her daughter can marry this rich, obnoxious guy.The film becomes side tracked by the incidents that our hero encounters when he tries to get his girl back.Sometimes, it's so much better to quit while you're ahead.

When was the last time you saw a funny film? I'm old school, Pink Panther, Monty Python and more British type obscure humour. I have to say in maybe the last possibly even 20 years there's been very few films that have made me laugh.This is a good film people, I don't see why it rated so lowly. Yes, a couple of scenes are fairly gross, but the shock value is brilliantly done, something I can't say for American films usually. Sufficed to say this movie is not for children.The characters are brilliant, the central love story boy and girl are small town USA naive; "Dig" (Orlando Jones), is mind blowingly crazy. The girls father is clever, maybe a little over done. Sally Field is terrifically awful, you can't fault her performance, but maybe they would have done better with an unknown, sorry to say she seems to drag the film down. Her eventual downfall isn't very satisfying, because you've already seen it. Something that seems to get missed these days is character development, but somehow in this film the characters are strong and you feel for the leads.I think you have to be in a certain mood for this film and understand that you are looking at 2 very naive / simple people and the world around them is very judgmental of them in a bad way and if they just had each other that love would keep them happy.A love story that will make you cry, some wacky characters and freak me out shock laughs, some weak points, and a surprisingly funny American film, which is a rare thing. Watch it!
