Is it a 10? No, it's not a 10. But I'm showing my support against the people who inexplicably rated it a 1. Realistically, it's a solid 7 and a helluva good time.

Basic plot is Abby Myers is about to get married and finds out her fiancé slept with a celebrity from his free pass list. With her life turned upside down, she heads out to LA with her best friend Chloe to track down and sleep with one of the five men on her own list.

The setup is actually super fun and relatable. It opens the doors to lots of celebrity name dropping and pop culture references which makes this super fun for anyone who reads US Weekly or follows gossip pages on social.

Dialogue is really clever. I found myself giggling at a lot of the exchanges and then cracking up at some of the big physical comedy moments. If anything I wanted to see even more if it. Halston carries the movie (she is basically in every scene, and I wasn't complaining). Great supporting cast led by Chrissie Fit who is hilarious, and Christian Navarro who is absolutely charming. The small characters also really bring the funny too.

Overall - a sweet and charming rom com with more laughs than average. I think it's a perfect date night movie!

It doesn't take much for me to call a DC movie the best one, to be brutally honest. But I actually felt like I was watching a Marvel movie while I was watching this one. And that's kind of the ultimate compliment.

The best thing about this movie was it's simplicity. I bought into the characters, I laughed the comedy, and the final outcome wasn't some huge chaotic CGI mess.

The heartfelt moments in the movie really clicked too. I was genuinely invested in the human aspect of the story and the struggles of the characters. All in all, it was a really good movie that I kind of wish came out 4 years ago before superhero movie fatigue had already set in.

This reminded me of the days when movies used to be good without having to serve a million different agendas. Just a great and hilarious underdog movie, in the vein of Revenge of the Nerds or other National Lampoon's comedies from back in the day.

Jonah Hill is in his element as the risk-averse best friend. Justin Long carries the movie admirably as the lead. A whole bunch of memorable supporting characters to boot!

Of course the plot and ultimate resolution are far-fetched but who cares? I don't see a movie like this to see an authentic commentary of society. I'm here for the laughs and it definitely delivers on that front.

Gets better with time!
