To me, this movie is perfection.
a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Not as funny as Best Friends or 40 Year Old Virgin, but for a steamy hot Saturday afternoon this was just the escape I needed. Predictable of course, but the talented cast make the material buzz with just the right balance of heart and laugh-out-loud dialogue. Of course you're rooting for the 2 leads, but the rest of the cast (esp TJ Miller - I'm a huge Silicon Valley fan) really make the cliched material a very funny extended ensemble piece. Jay Baruchel's cluelessly shallow family and friends are played to the hilt, no weak links. 10's are reserved for comedy masterpieces like Tootsie, but this is a "hard 7"
Reading all this good reviews ... I really wanted to like it but .... really? What the pathetic movie ...
Without a lot of big stars , explosions and special effects , the movie delivers a lot of laughter , primarily due to the linear story , great chemistry between leads , better direction and hilariously funny supporting cast members .
Baruchel is somewhat nerdy airport employee who happens to help drop-dead gorgeous Eve in distress, after much support from his gang of airport friends he asks her out. He expects the hammer to fall at any time. In one of the great lines of romantic comedy moviedom, his friend says of a prior relationship "I was a 6, maybe a 7, but she was a hard ten .... I just couldn't beat the spread". The same is expected by Baruchel and the question becomes can he live with the fact that his girlfriend is much better looking (and successful) as him? Eve is great, Baruchel is great, his little ensemble of friends play well, including an old girlfriend reinterested in him given his success with Eve. There are the usual embarrassing scenes that are in every movie of this sort but I found this more intelligent and several steps above most of the entries in the American Pie/Porky's genre. Recommended as a light romantic comedy.
