It's clear that many people who saw this movie came in with the wrong expectations. I am not entirely clear why that is (the trailer makes it pretty clear, IMHO), but the negative reactions make it seem like they were unprepared for the subtle, tongue-in-check yet increasingly savage take down of rom-com cliches.
The movie starts with such deadpan deceptively mild rom com tropes that many may have thought this WAS nothing but a rom com. However, step by step, the satire becomes more and more absurd and outrageous in it's take down of rom coms. The whole time the actors (with infrequent but striking exceptions) play it straight, which makes the comedy all the more hilarious. Paul Rudd and Amy Poehler are perfectly cast, and make the most of the material. This may be one of the funniest performances by Poehler outside of her Upright Citizens Brigade and SNL days, which also demonstrates how wasted she often is in the formula comedies she usually finds herself in.
By the end this satire "goes there" in so many ways that those who prefer their comedy gentle and safe (like, you know, the rom com crowd) may even be offended by this movie. But for those with a more adventurous sens of humor, this is a brilliant satirical comedy. Stand by for a few outstanding cameos at the end, and if you can, let go of expectations and have the kind of fun only found in irreverence and absurdist humor.

Teri Garr had passed away only a few days ago when I stumbled on this episode. It is already notable for it's Guest Star, Sid Caesar, who is quite funny as an alcoholic comedy star (although there is a painful element to his performance in that the real life Sid Caesar at that time actually WAS an alcoholic comedy star).
But the additional shock for me was seeing Teri Garr in one of the earliest roles of her career. And the role is also ironic: her one-line bit in the episode parallels the premise of the series, since Ann Marie is also early in her career only booking one-line bit parts. We're lucky Garr moved further along in her career. All in all, there's some interesting history in this episode. RIP, and thanks for all the great work, Teri Garr.
