I always gave it the benefit of the doubt. Romantic comedies usually can be good if done right. I wouldn't think this film is a total waste, but the setup, when you think about it, is kind of hard to believe. Yet I don't think it is something so bad where it had to be a total box-office disaster. (When it was released, it performed very badly therefore only being in wide release for a couple of weeks and unable to crack the Top Ten). Most of what happens in the movie is told from Bonnie Hunt's character. She basically explains to a couple of people, whom one of them is a guy who is quite attractive and delightful (don't know his name however. He was the big guy). Anyway while at the wedding of the bride and groom, they're going over about how the character's all ended up. She is a publisher of a writer named Jay (Jason Lee) who suddenly falls for his editor, who is involved with his best friend Max (David Schwimmer). Max wants to test how faithful his girlfriend really is by getting Jay to somehow seduce her. If you follow movies, it'd be easy to understand that David Schwimmer is basically trying to play against type, with his bad boy player type character but he basically comes off as sleazy and somewhat creepy. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense that someone like the editor, whose character is played by Mili Avital, would fall for someone like that and rather quickly too. To me, the thing that works about this movie is Jason Lee. It's almost hard to believe that a year before this was released, he played Banky in Chasing Amy. I thought he was a promising talent, but unfortunately Hollywood, and neither audiences saw it that way. But all of this was a long ways before those unfortunately successful Alvin and the Chipmunks disasters. I like Jason Lee as a romantic lead and it works here. He is utterly charming. I think in the end, his editor Samantha eventually falls for him, which is something that probably would have been more believable had it happened earlier on. By the end though, the movie pretty much loses any kind of momentum.

This movie appealed to me for one main reason.I went through almost the same situation with my best friend and now ex-girlfriend.This movie is set around two best friends Max and Jay.Max is the party type all around ladies man while Jay is an unlucky in love man still sulking over a pat relationship.I personally think the roles were givin out perfectly.David Schwimmer as the ladies man.Jason Lee as the sensitive man(a drastic change from his usual roles especially in Kevin Smith's movies)and Mili Avital give a sexy performance as the girl wanted by both men.If you like a good romantic comedy i would say see this.Heck even if your not into romantic comedys still see this movie.4 out of 5 stars.

Implausible and boring, with distracting and unnecessary profanity. Bonnie Hunt's talent was totally wasted. Maybe the film would have worked if a different set of actors had been cast. It was really quite unpleasant to watch them going through the motions, and not caring about them at all.

Jason Lee is one of the wittiest, funniest actors...I just love watching him, and he was absolutely great in this movie. David Schwimmer was good, and Mili Avital was impressive(first time I had ever seen her!). I thought this was a great romantic comedy...to the extreme. VERY ROMANTIC, VERY COMEDIC!
