review ======
|
|
well , if you haven't seen when harry met sally or he said , she said , or if you don't watch love & war on television , you might think this is the most inventive film to come along in ages .
|
|
however , if you've seen any of these , than you have seen most of this film .
|
|
this of course doesn't mean its bad .
|
|
some of it is amusing , but overall , i just had to ask what's the point ?
|
|
arye cross is the stereotypical single male who falls in love .
|
|
kevin pollack is the stereotypical female-fearing best friend who make a lot of rather sexist and vulgar jokes , most if which weren't very funny .
|
|
couteney cox is the stereotypical career-minded woman who falls in love .
|
|
julie brown is the stereotypical bizarre best friend of said woman .
|
|
( notice the frequent use of the word stereotypical .
|
|
this film uses a lot of formula , the plot is basically known from the opening credits . )
|
|
so what is good about the movie ?
|
|
well as i said there are a few amusing moments .
|
|
surprisingly , julie brown , who i usually find just plain goofy , was the best thing in the film .
|
|
also there are several very funny sequences involving analysis of the human mating ritual .
|
|
gee , this is really short .
|
|
not much to say about the film really .
|
|
it is just kind of there .
|
|
watching it on video might not be a complete waste of time , but i wouldn't recommend hiring a baby sitter or spending a lot of money to see it at the theatre .
