Am I the only person who actually liked this film??


I had multiple LOL moments, especially from Delaney and just random little bits (Justin Long!) from pretty much all of the cast members... the story was interesting, Elizabeth Banks and Seth Rogen had good chemistry, Jason Mewes looked good, etc... long story short, I would definitely watch this again (if only just to hear the "coffee, black" line again ahahaha). What's the big problem with it? I just don't... see why this was so bad? I would so watch this again than watch Juno or Superbad again.

Maybe it's because I never enjoyed the Kevin Smith brand of comedy? (Clerks, Dogma, etc)

I can't stand Kevin Smith's work. I'm amazed that Elizabeth Banks stooped to participate in this crap.

just want to add my voice to the multitudes above.

its good. it has a theme related to Chasing Amy. . . the conflicts between sex and love, friendship and love, etc.

also its freakin hilarious. Justin Long is so funny its ... hard to describe.

Banks makes the film work. She is just... great.

I thought it was great! Yes it's immature a lot of the time, but if you saw the movie title and was expecting to see an Oscar winning movie, well, you're an idiot!

That's not to say the performance were weak, I thought they were great given the subject matter.

Someone like Seth Rogen being with Elizabeth Banks seems to be a recurring complaint, but they had a perfect back story... Friends since the first grade, grew up as friends, rented an apartment together as friends... did I mention they were friends?

I agree with the notion that a straight guy can't be 'just friends' with a hot girl, but if their friendship goes back to when they were kids, well that's a different story... And a hot girl falling in-love with a chubby, average looking guy? Again, not the stereotype, but if you had grown up and been friends with this guy, then yes! They've known each other for 20 years!

Anyway, I watched it today for maybe the 3rd time, still loved it. However, I can't help but think Kevin Smith wrote this a long time before it was produced, as YouTube style porn sites killed off the porn industry years ago...

Also, a bit of a continuity error I spotted was at the end... If you walk into an apartment you lived in for years looking for someone you loved, why would you open the bathroom door? Fair enough, if it's first thing in the morning and the door has no lock then sure, you could walk in on someone by accident. But if you're looking for someone AND know where the bathroom is, why open the door without knocking? Their either not going to be there, or their going to be there taking a shower or a dump!

I loved this film. The humor had me laughing out load many times. Every character was likeable and the love story was sweet, very sweet and just a little bit unexpected. Looking back, I shoulda seen it coming. Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks both were superb, almost flawless in portrayals of their characters.

I saw most of it last night and there were plenty of giggle worthy scenes.

Why ain't you at the garden party you heathen?

Yes. What is America coming to - porn as comedy? The End is Nigh.
