Every Sunday I will post my review about a movie hence the name “Movie Review Sunday.” The movie can be a brand new one or it could be an old one.The scale for the overall rating wont be constant, just warning you.
Let’s start this off with a trailer of the movie:
Description (from Rotten Tomatoes):
his amusing sex farce updates age-old concepts about love, sex, and hot lesbians. A new supercomputer (with vague ties to the afterlife) spits out random e-mails that tell when people will die, or in the case of suave, affluent groom-to-be Roderick Blank (Simon Baker), a list of all the girls he ever slept with and ever will sleep with. There’s 70 he’s never even met, and he’s due to be married in 11 days! Naturally his wedding is off and Roderick goes gallivanting around the city, crossing off names and gradually realizing the pitfalls of empty one-nighters. Meanwhile the mysterious “Death Nell” (Winona Ryder) is seducing and destroying a stream of deserving louts, spray painting anguished poetry on their walls and creating a media sensation. These two are bound to cross paths, and when they finally do, comeuppance is in the cards, with a bloody vengeance. Director-screenwriter Daniel Waters (HEATHERS) delivers laughs from brows both low and high, with Baker revealing a flair for sophisticated comedy beneath his mellow scruff. The slew of actresses comprising “the list” turn in uniformly fine work, with Julie Bowen a standout as the hot but “just friends” gal pal. Still, it’s all stolen in the ninth inning by the radiantly off-her-rocker Ryder as the girl men fall for, permanently; with her big eyes, dark hair and myriad tics she shines like a crazy beautiful diamond. The spot-on score is by Rolfe Kent (SIDEWAYS, ABOUT SCHMIDT).
Yeah yeah, it may sound dumb but you would be surprised. It doesn’t have any big names in it like Denzel or Jessica Biel but it did its job.
Women: It did pretty good with the women within the film, ranging from the ugly fat assistant up to the hottie who he “falls in love” with. If you are looking for “boobs” then it will show several different pairs but not for a long period of time, nothing like Pirates XXX if you were wanting that.
Acting: The acting was pretty good. It satisfied for me for the kind of movie it was.
Overall: I would give it a 6.5/10. It is worth watching but not worth paying money for. If you have ComCast then its in the OnDemand section.
