For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Jason Biggs definitely runs hot and cold in movie performances, and this one is freezing. Isla Fisher tries her best to lower the standard even further, but in truth neither of them has to work hard to drag this pile of dog poo into the gutter.It's lazy, contrived and immature in the extreme. I dread to think how a bunch of adolescent morons managed to get this script accepted - presumably by another bunch of adolescent morons who stumbled across a pile of money and a drunk movie studio boss.Tasteless and lame don't even begin to describe the level of humour. This is dumbed-down film making which makes me despair for the future, not just of the film industry, but for the human race.

Michael Ian Black write and directs this forgettable piece of romantic comedy, with an emphasis on the comedy leaving the romance to simmer in the background, which I liked if only because I can't stand most Romcoms. In fact if this film wasn't on netflix via xbox 360, I sincerely doubt that I would've given it a chance. As it was and since my girl wanted to see it I decided to appease her movie (in)sensibilities.Jason Biggs (American Pie) is Anderson a man who's just given up on love. His soul-mate has just died via heart attack due to his tomfoolery involving dressing up as Cupid and proposing to her. Needless to say he's down in the dumps when he half-heartedly and jokingly asks a waitress to marry him out of the blue. Unfortunately, for him (and the viewer), the waitress Katie (Isla Fisher, who acts just as nuts here as she did in The Wedding Crashers) says yes. They then have to contend with their respective parents (including Joe Pantoliano in the thankless supremely unfunny role of jailbird dad) But my girl like it (even though I don't really like her taste in film) so it couldn't be all bad *shrugs* My Grade: C-

Jason Biggs (American Pie) stars as Anderson, a depressed guy who lost his girlfriend by proposing to her. Pushed by his friend, he asks a random waitress to marry him, which she says yes.The idea of this romantic comedy is there. I like the idea of spontaneity but the film lacks humour.Jason Biggs is funny in other films, as is Isla Fisher (Wedding crashers) but this film lacks effort and purpose. It's as if there's no point.Following many conventions of the genre, the film uses physical humour and some really cheesy lines to portray comedy, which is a shame because from the beginning it appeared to be heading somewhere.Its flat, its predictable and repetitive and overall, just boring and familiar.I don't like films which follow patterns and so the ending is scant consolation for that as it is slightly different from other romantic comedies.The acting is average; none of the cast seemed too bothered to put their true potential into the characters.At the end of the day it is a light hearted film which is sweet in its own way. The humour isn't brilliant, like the acting but the idea and the ending are quite interesting.

Isla Fisher was great in this, but the movie itself, was simply not very good. What had the potential to be a nice romantic comedy storyline gets ruined with some really bizarre character developments. Though the movie had moments that were very funny, for the most part it was full of "humor" that was way too stupid to be funny. (juvenile humor -- some of it only "funny" because of the gross-out factor -- and if you're over 15 that kind of stuff isn't funny anymore.) It was hard to sit through to the end. It's worth watching if you're a fan of Fisher but otherwise, this one you can skip and you won't be missing much.
