Buying the Cow (2002)

A Disappointing Continuation

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

This movie is the best movie that I have ever bought that I did know anything about!!! I only bought it because of Ryan Reynolds, but I must say that I will be recommending it to all of my friends and to everyone here. If you want to laugh and watch a movie that is so completely underrated that I want to complain, then please go, buy a copy, rent one, what ever you have to do to be able to see this hilarious movie. Yes OK the ending is slightly predictable but it doesn't matter.If you try it and it didn't suit you then at least you tried something new.

This is actually a great direct to video Comedy, that really surprised me by how enjoyable and funny it was, with fun performances!. All the characters are cool, and the story is pretty good as well, plus Jerry O'Connell plays a great funny lead!. For me though Ryan Reynolds stole a lot of the scenes, as he is absolutely hilarious, and it has some great eye candy in Bridgette Wilson and Alyssa Milano, but they also give good performances, plus it's very well made and written. One of the funniest parts in the movie for me is when Ryan Reynolds announces at a wedding that he is a raging homosexual, and also when he thinks he has slept with a man, plus it's good natured as well. All the characters are extremely likable, and this reminded me somewhat of Tomcats, only better and funnier, plus it kept me guessing throughout, as I was actually expecting it to be predictable. I'm not usually a fan of Direct to video Comedies, but this one is an exception, and I really liked the ending too, plus the whole cast seemed to be enjoying themselves. This is actually a great direct to video Comedy, that really surprised me by how enjoyable and funny it was, with fun performances, I highly recommend this one!. The Direction is great!. Walt Becker does a great! job here, with very good camera work, and just keeping the film funny and at a very fast pace. The Acting is fun!. Jerry O'Connell is very funny here as the main lead, he has lots of charisma, is very likable, offered plenty of laughs, had a cool character, and really seemed to be enjoying himself, it's too bad we don't see him as often anymore, because I really dig this guy! (Jerry Rules!!). Bridgette Wilson is incredibly gorgeous, and does very well with what she had to do, she had a likable character, and did her job well. Ryan Reynolds is absolutely hilarious here, every time he was on screen he managed to crack me up, he had a very cocky&arrogant character, but I couldn't help but love him, he stole a lot of the scenes! (Ryan Rules!!!!). Bill Bellamy is good as Jonesy I dug him. Alyssa Milano is very gorgeous, and has a sexy part, it's just she didn't have much screen time. Ron Livingston does good with what he had to do, I liked him. Erinn Bartlett and Scarlett Chorvat are hot as the Madison sisters, and played there roles fairly well. Rest of the cast are fine. Overall I highly recommend this one!. ***1/2 out of 5

We all know the phrase "buying the cow" and this movie does a pretty good job of giving some different views on why one should commit or not. Ultimately, though, there are too many silly scenes and stereotypes that end up appearing stupid as opposed to humorous. The film does offer a few chuckles, but unfortunately too few to make the film worthwhile. Some scenes remind me of "There's Something About Mary", but there are just too few funny times. I think if the stereotypical situations went way out there, the funny scenes could really provide a good laugh.There are a couple unexpected twists, and that keeps it interesting. Also, it's great to see the World Trade Center in the NYC skyline.I saw this on a local cable channel, and am glad I didn't rent it. I wouldn't have felt that I'd gotten my money's worth. There are plenty of other good dating movies to see. This wouldn't be one of them.

Buying The Cow is a tale of David Collins (Jerry O'Connell) who freaks after his girlfriend begins hinting for a proposal which results in him dating strange women. Ryan Reynolds and Alyssa Milano play a gay man and a hot girl. Buying the Cow had some comedy flow but it was not what I expected before purchasing. It is more serious then I realised for an O'Connell film. It had something that grabbed me but didn't quiete real me in. See for yourself.Pros well acted, realisticCons didn't quite grab me, predictable
