I am always excited to see a movie about Hollywood or people that live there like KnockedUp and people that live in Hollywood or any of those Katherine Heigel movies, and this was done good for a low budget indie. You can tell in parts but I thought it was good overall. Duff was in it way more than expected and good on top of it, which is an unexpected surprise. Same went for Sheen, I love him and think he's hilarious but he was just sort of sweet in this and actually did a great honest job at being a "star" in the movie world. The 2 leads were really awesome together and i got choked up at the end because it felt like they both really loved each other. I heard it was based on them so not sure if they are a real couple but it def felt that way and i thought it was cute. Really heavy foul language though so don't take anyone younger than 16, I accidentally had my little sister with me and she was too young for it at 12.

His new movie is creating a ton of buzz and the huge movie star Kim Powers (Duff) wants to be in it. The big problem is that he only wants his girlfriend Sammy to be in it. When her ex-husband shows up and moves in with them their relationship becomes strained. Even though this is pretty much a fluff movie and extremely predictable it is still an enjoyable movie. Everyonce in a while it is good to just put in a movie that you don't need to think about and is not stressful at all to watch. This is a movie like that. Nothing original and acting is a little iffy but this is a movie that keeps you watching and entertained. There really isn't that much to say about this at all other then that. Not really anything deep or thought provoking but it is entertaining and that's what a movie is supposed to be. Overall, a decent one time watch. I give it a B.
... View MoreI have been following this movie for a while now and was happy to get tickets and see it with a few friends. It's an independent film filled with funny jokes, heartfelt performances and big stars. I'm a big Duff fan, so I was happy to see more than just a cameo of her. She was in it a lot more than I thought she would be. Same goes for Charlie Sheen, he was in it a lot more than I thought too. Funny, cute moments. It's not like the most original or mind blowing film but it's good. The acting ranges from what you would expect cheesy typical to more real and natural. Sammy and the rebound girlfriend were my favorite characters in the film and I have never seen them before. Hilary was pretty good and natural in this movie too, much more than I had seen in the past. She was the prettiest too.The others like John and Sam are pretty typical cheese ball humor but overall it had a good balance for this kind of movie. The improv was pretty hilarious too!!
... View MoreGuy meets Girl. Girl has an Ex who comes into town and makes 3's company. The fat guy is insecure and with the typical pretty girl. Fat guy screws it all up by taking his relationship fore granted. He loses the girl and she comes back. In a nutshell that's the movie. I saw it and have to say I laughed a few times here and there. The audience laughed out loud a lot. It'd be a good movie for college kids, drinking and hanging out or a quick date movie. Charlie Sheen was in like 2 scenes. Hilary Duff was actually in it a good number of times. I would say she is the 3rd female most in it for sure. So that was cool. Josh Gad is pretty funny, and i wasn't really a fan of his before this. I love the girl playing his girlfriend, she was by far the most serious. Followed by the Disturbia guy. He's pretty stellar in everything he does. The ex- was really funny for being a meat head sort of guy that he was playing. Overall it had some good moments with some surprising new faces. This is a good movie to at least check out once. It's worth the stars to check out. They were all way more than cameos and I would say I was shocked how much Duff and others were actually in it,
