Movie Review

Grade: B Ryan Reynolds is a B-grade actor. It is not that he is not capable of more, but the fact is that the movies where he succeeds the best are B-movies. Hell, his claim-to-fame is "Van Wilder," which was pretty God-awful for the most part. "Waiting..." was good, but it's not like that movie was some intellectual haven of comedy. And what else has he done? A lame, serious turn in that horrible "Amityville Horror" remake? An annoying fish-out-of-water in "Blade: Trinity?" Why is everyone expecting so much from him?

Funny as hell, by JayMizzel

August 28, 2006

This movie was so funny. I mean come on. That song Ana Faris sung was funny. Chris Klein was also amusing towards the end. Overall, I recommend this movie to any guy who doesn't like romantic comedies. Because it's more comedy than romance.
