    It's a little too grossout to be romantic at times, but, it's still very funny.

    Nice film. Funny and entertaining, Baldwin Brown and Azaria are very good in supporting roles but I found Seymour Hoffman a little annoying but maybe that?s because he was suppose to be, anyway, I liked it. Oh, and I think Ferrets are cool.

    This movie was hilarious. It had a great cast, and I was laughing throughout.

    Reuben (Ben) is dumped on his honeymoon when his wife runs off with the scuba instructor. He meets Polly (Jen) who is very wild and different. Jen is always typecast so it is nice to see her in a more hippy chick role. Ben is awkward and funny as usual. Very like 'Something about...( read more) Mary'.

Critic Reviews


May 3, 2005
Nick Schager, Lessons of Darkness

Inane, inorganic and predictable from the start. full review

January 17, 2004
David Edelstein, Slate

One of those films that celebrate spontaneity and risk-taking yet are so formulaic and un-risky that they strangle their own message. full review

January 16, 2004
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times

A waste of a talented cast. full review

January 16, 2004
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

Within the context of what is essentially a formula picture, Hamburg comes up with lively and anarchic comic situations, and he comes up with them consistently. full review

January 16, 2004
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

There isn't a lot in the movie that is funny. full review

January 16, 2004
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

Depends on the mistaken belief that Jennifer Aniston's appeal is so universally recognizable it's unnecessary to write a fully-rounded character for her. full review

January 15, 2004
Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer

Slight but occasionally riotous. full review

January 15, 2004
Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune

It isn't fresh. It isn't special. It isn't anything. full review
