Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Simply A Masterpiece

As Good As It Gets

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

A nice teenager film. the good point - the chemistry between Shannyn Sossamon and Josh Hartnett. in rest, the expectation of the end of celibate and the love story evolution. but , like many films of same genre, many flaws, a sacred event of a Christian life as pretext, unrealistic situations, teen humor, a not real inspired end. sure, for a precise target , it is the perfect choice. but , for the other categories , it remains a too easy film.

This is a "comedy" about a sex addict who Is raped by his abusive and manipulative ex while he is bound, drunk and passed out. What in the actual eff. How is this supposed to be funny? Shame on everyone involved. And the ensuing victim blaming is just foul. Reverse the genders and this would be a horror/suspense film and that double standard is extremely dangerous. Men can be assaulted and it is not funny at all.

SPOILER ALERT!The first half of the movie is okay, the idea is fine but the ending is... I am shocked, the protagonist is clearly raped by his ex- girlfriend but in the movie it is shown as okay, RAPE IS NEVER OK! If it was the other way around and a man had sex with his ex-girlfriend while she was asleep and tied to a bed; he would be called a rapist and send to jail or the movie would never had been made because it says that rape is OK. The movie doesn't even discuss the issue, it is taken for granted that what happened was OK or legal, and he has to apologize for being raped afterwords. This movie shows how a man can be raped by a woman but say that it is no big deal. Another thing is, the movie goes too far with the protagonist's abstinences, suddenly there is naked women and boobs everywhere it is just too much and too vulgar. I apologize for typos, etc.

I am so sick of seeing these boring comedies with no real story, no real laughs and horrible actors. Why waste your time.So a boy is obsessed with his ex girlfriend and he tries to get over her by having sex with lots of other girls, but he has trouble being with other women cause he's haunted by his ex. He then decides he's going to become celibate and all of his co-workers know he's a horn dog so they start a betting pool to see if he can make the entire 40 days he had set out to go.During this time he meets another girl and finds hes falling for her and he tells her he doesn't have sex which freaks her out, and meanwhile all the girls in on the bet try to seduce him and his ex comes back into his life and yada yada - predictable yawn-fest with no laughs.Josh Hartnett kinda sucks as an actor, hes a young talentless Tommy Lee Jones look-a-like and then we have co-stars like Shannyn Sossamon, who is a boring Angelina Jolie wanna be and Paulo Costanzo who is a younger looking annoying Jon Stewart look-a-like and then god forbid that I compare the horrible Maggie Gyllenhaal to anyone because no one is that special brand of ugly that she is - she looks like a grandma and isn't even 30.This movie was stupid and worthless, I never got his motives and I don't think it was cute and sweet enough to be considered romantic comedy, and it wasn't young enough to be a teen comedy and no one over 17 would wanna watch it, so who's the audience... 2 stars and thats being generous.
