Say it isn't So (2001): Dir: J.B. Rodgers / Cast: Chris Klein, Heather Graham, Orlando Jones, Sally Field, Richard Jenkins: Scene after scene of pure stupidity about information that a couple discover about each other. Vulgar comedy about an animal shelter worker who falls in love with a hairdresser only to learn that she may be his sister. When he discovers that she isn't his sister, he travels to Beaver to prevent her from marrying a rich snot. His journey becomes complicated once "wanted" signs baring his image are placed about town. He tries to reconnect with her but everyone believes they are related. Director J.B. Rodgers previously made American Pie 2 but here the vulgarity is surrounded by a more comical subject matter. Chris Klein strolls down town with his arm stuck up a cow's ass. Heather Graham plays dumb blonde to perfection. Their conclusion isn't difficult to figure out. Orlando Jones plays a legless pilot who assists Klein in his quest but more would have been better. Sally Field and Richard Jenkins steal scenes as Graham's dysfunctional parents who grow worse in their physical and mental condition. Incest implement may offend certain viewers but since the couple is unrelated it merely exaggerates misinterpretations of information and one's inability to cope with it. It is offensive material but pulls off a funny concept that leaves much to be said. Score: 7 / 10

I'm not politically correct when it comes to my comedy and I believe that almost anything can be funny, so long as it is done right. Case in point: The Farrelly Brothers, who have achieved massive success with a string of bad-taste movies about, amongst other things, Siamese twins, split personality, and extreme obesity.But Say It Isn't So isn't written by the Farellys (only 'produced by')—and it isn't funny.Chris Klein (whose movie career is surely on its last legs) plays Gilbert, a loser who falls in love with beautiful hairdresser Jo (Heather Graham), only to find out that she is his sister.Incest. Yes, I do believe incest has the potential to be funny. But not in the hands of writers Peter Gaulke and Gerry Swallow or director James B. Rogers, who deliver a laugh-free train-wreck of a film that almost hurts to watch.I say 'almost', because, being a red-blooded male, the sight of the delectable Ms. Graham eases the pain. Heather can always be relied upon to make a film bearable, simply by being Heather. And this is the film's only saving grace.

I have watched and loved most films like this like the farrelly brothers movies and others alike, this was no exception. It was very entertaining and there were a lot of funny moments in it. 'Say it isn't so' is certainly very underrated and the story is very good, it is something that I would have never really thought of. Chris Klein is very good and the way you would want the character in the movie to be, very easy going and kind to everyone, he means no harm and is just normal unlike every one around him. Lots of people dislike Heather Graham but I thought that she wasn't to bad. It is the type of film that I would expect the audience to love, strange enough it isn't, it has the same amount of laughs as all of the other farrelly brothers movies and a better story line.In conclusion, if you like chris klein and good comedy then you should certainly hire this because it's just as good

This movie is a very intriguing one, very reminiscent of Shallow Hal and Loser. I definitely recommend this movie to anyone who has enjoyed the entertainment of Loser and/or Shallow Hal.as a romance Comedy it is moderately good, as A Comedy/Drama it is very very good.i personally preferred Loser with the chemistry of Jason Biggs and Mena Suvari, but this movie is definitely worthy of your time.It gives a interesting array of characters all borrowed from other movies, but still great to watch.It succeeds in a few laughs (not as many as it should have), it also has the ability to make you feel for the characters.I give this a 5.5 out of 10 Shallow Hal in retrospect i give a 6 and Loser deserved a 6****possible spoiler***** if you are adopted or don't have track of all you immediate family maybe this movie isn't the best for you as it is harrowing in some parts. WIll make you think twice about people you know.
