This movie was completely terrible. It tries to play the dude chick flick angle like Wedding Crashers and fails miserably. The key to the dude part of being a chick flick is that it actually be funny, which it is not.
Most of the jokes are made at the expense of Jay Baruchel and how much of a loser he is. They usually fall flat though and they never really make his character likeable, so you don't really care if he gets the girl or not.
The only joke in the movie that is remotely funny is something that was in the red-band trailer.
They also try to add in a couple of text-book characters for laughs, like the crazy friend who will say/do anything (think Jason Lee in Mallrats, Seth Rogen in 40 year old Virgin, etc.). The guy playing that part in this movie seems to be channeling his best impression of Jason Lee and never really does or says anything funny.
I didn't have high expectations for this movie, and didn't even plan on seeing it. Then I was listening to ESPN Radio on my drive in and Mike Golik mentioned how he had to see it now because his sons said it was hilarious from start to finish. Not only was it not hilarious, but I can't recall laughing once. Thanks for wasting my time Golik's kids you little d-bags.
I give this a 0 out of 5. Anything even close to funny was in the trailer and they managed to assemble a group of characters no one would care about. Also the girl who is supposed to be OMG SO HOT, isn't even that great. Decent body but the face isn't that impressive and the whole movie treats her like she's a 15 out of 10.
