This one won't solve any world problems, but as a night's entertainment, you could do worse. The chemistry isn't really there between Ben Stiller and Jennifer Aniston, but she's always fun to look at anyway. There are really only a couple of funny scenes: Ben in Jen's bathroom, and the fake French dialect of the St. Bart's beach boy. The rest is fairly routine. No great loss if you miss this, but nothing risked by watching, either.

This isn't a movie that needs a long, involved review. Basically, it's a cute, funny movie that reminded me of all those Farrelly Brothers and Judd Apatow flicks. You know the formula of those movies: gross-out and daringly sexual jokes combined with a sweet story and an undercurrent of genuine decency. In other words, the frat boy humor makes the heartfelt stuff go down easier. And that's what this movie does. And, as the actual story is pretty good (always a plus), the pleasing formula supplements the story instead of covering for its weaknesses. Oh, and you get an added bonus: an entertaining supporting performance by Philip Seymour Hoffman, who plays Ben Stiller's washed-up, former-child-star buddy.

I viewed the widescreen DVD, which features a stunningly sharp image which nicely filled up my entire widescreen TV surface with no black bars. Extras are pleasant and worth the half hour or so it takes to watch them (though the "celebrity interview" with the ferret was pretty dumb). All in all, this is good DVD for some modest, mid-week evening entertainment.

Some see this as a comedy but it goes beyond that easy classification.It's a happy film. Plot: Ben Stiller gets married and his wife cheats on him on the honeymoon! He's through with that relationship and accidentally meets up with an early middle school classmate: Jennifer Aniston. They have entirely different interests and occupations and yet there is something that keeps clicking when they get together. Some critics are so used to seeing Aniston in the old "Friends" role they don't really appreciate how her acting has grown.She makes the film interesting from beginning to end. Her easy style leads to seeing her start to form the relationship between them as if you are watching a reality show.
The outcome is never obvious and you will want to see this film more than once. It is fun to see a star developed like this.
The fans will also be happy to see her in a pair of tight red shorts on the bed with Stiller, a picture which will probably stay in one's mind's eye for some time. So will Aniston's acting.

This was a very good movie, most romantic comedies aern't that good but this one is. if you have'nt seen it then you should. it's good.

a simple love story taht is as funny as hell! poor ben!, you have to see it to understand! a cool date movie!
