After twenty minutes of length, I asked myself: "where have I seen this woman before?". I was pretty convinced it was in one of the "Scary Movies", and I was right. Jenny McCarthy and Chris Eigeman play two lonely adults who face problems with sex and relationships in general. One interesting thing to notice is that woman can pass months and months without having sex, whilst we, men in general, cannot. The way director chose to film this picture is very original, mixing self talking with normal talking. There are plenty of funny scenes, mostly built with clever thoughts about life and love, not letting spectator down or anything-- actually, most of the time we are laughing or smiling. As a romance, it is no big thing, but for comedy and entertainment without having to turn your brain off, it is GREAT! Congratulations Matthew Miller and cast.

I work the graveyard shift at a hotel, there really isn't much to do during that time so I was flipping through the channels on the TV in the office and came across this movie. I thought, "What the heck." To my surprise, I found myself caught up in it at apparently the most pivotal point. (Never can get in on the beginning of the good ones.)I was shocked to find that I actually like Jenny McCarthy as an actress. I just always thought I wouldn't like, no particular reason, just thought that. And let's not forget about Chris Eigeman. Can we say cute!! Actually my type of guy in a romantic lead....I love it.This movie is fantastic. I love how it shows that life can be ironic. I recommend this movie highly!

I never really cared for Jenny McCarthy before seeing this movie. I am not a fan of gross humor or dysfunction, and those are the types of roles I had seen her in before this movie. She does a nice job here. It actually was a while before I realized it was her in the female lead role, as it was so different from what I had seen her in before. Hey, who knew she could act? She and the male lead are both very believable in their roles and while this is not Shakespeare, I thought it was well done. Enough so, that after renting it, I bought the cheapest "like new" copy I could find on half.com so I can watch it again when the mood strikes me. Yeah, yeah, both lead characters are a bit dysfunctional, but they get better by the end of the movie.

I really liked it. Good paced, light hearted comedy about what men and women hope for from love. Lots of little tidbits for those who want something a bit deeper, but none of it in your face. I was quite impressed with Jenny McCarthy's performance. I think she can break out of the "sex symbol" mode and establish herself as a bona fide actress. I hope she gets more roles that challenge and allow her to exercise more of her acting skills. Eigeman reminded me of a younger Charles Brodin.. but his performance worked well.
