Biggest plothole - Megan Fox being into Adam Scott


Alright, lets ignore for a second that she's a 10 an he's 5. Maybe it would make sense if she loved kids and she had a weakness for single dads, but she never showed any interest in the child at all.

Thank you! Not only that, but I couldn't believe that such a squirrely little guy attracted this parade of hot women. Not only were his shoulders narrower than all the women he was paired up with, he was an obnoxious social retard to boot! Why Jennifer Westfeldt didn't cast her real-life beau Jon Hamm in this part is puzzling to me. You could have bought Jon Hamm as a womanizing guy afraid to commit, not to mention the fact that I didn't buy him and Kristen Wigg as a couple, either. These two things were major flaws, IMO, in a film that otherwise had a lot of very smart, funny observations about maturing into "adulthood" (or not).

Yes, because a beautiful woman can't be with a man who isn't a 10.

reply

A beautiful woman (9 times out of 10) isn't going to be with a man who is:

1. Physically unattractive.
2. Socially inept.
3. Not wealthy, famous, incredibly gifted or all of the above.

Hate to sound like a cynic, but just look around you and tell me I'm wrong.

But she played video games! That means she is okay with dating nerds!

The main reason why I grew to hate this movie is because the characters are annoyingly unrealistic. Jason was an ass most of the time, but he was good with the kid so we're supposed to gloss over the fact that the woman who is is best friend and in love with him categorizes him as a jerk who is only interested in women with big boobs. But the ackwardly mention he has a big penis so I guess that's supposed to make up for it. Was Jonah Hill not available to play this role?

Julie is a relatively attractive blonde woman with a good job and a nice apartment and she can't find a man? Yes, this is believable. Snooki can find a man but not a woman who looks like Jennifer Westfeldt? I never knew.

The only way this movie would have worked better is if Jason was more attractive and Julie was less attractive and if they were both a lot less annoying. If the main characters had been Maya Rudolph and John Hamm it probably would have worked a bit better.

Also, you mean to tell me Megan Fox can't find a richer, more handsome man who does not have a complicated relationship involving a baby?

Don't try to cash in love, that check will always bounce.

she's a 10 an he's 5.

Post all that plastic surgery, dunno that Mags still meets such a criteria at present. Insofar as the viability of such a pairing goes... well, have a glance at the dude she's married to in RL.

reply

B.A.G. is not an attractive guy by most people's standards, but he's:

1. Rich

2. Famous

For most women, that supercedes looks or intelligence every time.

You clearly do not know a lot of women.

I agree megan is far from a 10. All that plastic surgery has made her look weird, she looked kinda drag queeny in this film. I don't know where she'd be on the rating scale but definitely not that high up top

reply

In this movie she looked amazing and natural save for her makeup. Whatever surgery she'd had at that point, if anything, wasn't obvious.

Oh I totally bought it. They're both stunning to me.

Yeah I had no idea he was considered unattractive.

reply

That's what I thought when I watched it. Dude, she is seriously out of your league lol. I still couldn't help saying "Oh, you motherfuuker" when he was kissing her haha.

I often see hot women with unattractive guys, because guys can talk their way into any situation. But for women is a little more difficult because if they reach out to guys they are perceived as too forward. I do agree that their meet-cute was totally artificial and unrealistic, they didn't click at any point at all. Adam Scott is still a funny guy and could get a younger woman but not for a long stretch of time, younger airy girls like Megan's character was tend to lose interest.

reply

Well guys with ordinary looks but lots of money can get more pretty girls than poor handsome guys. No pretty girl would want to take a bus when they could be going with a BMW 330 coupe. Obviously rich and handsome guys are very very rare.

reply

Just to be clear, I find him very attractive btw. He's at least 6 :)

reply

Take a look at the douche Megan Fox is married to ;-)

reply

Beauty truly is in the eye of beholder. Adam Scott a 5? Yeah, OK. Try an 8 on a bad day.

reply

His lips are tiny, as is the rest of him. But he's kind of cute and that off-sets the other stuff a bit so yeah, he's sort of average. So 5 or 6 is accurate. Someone like James Franco would be more around an 8.

Megan Fox used to be a 10

Rod: Ancestors protect me.
Kevin: May they protect you!

reply

In this movie she was definitely a 10.
