Featured reviews
Yet another remake of a successful movie where women take the lead. I have no problem with the idea, and it worked pretty well in Oceans 8, but if I was a female scriptwriter in Hollywood, I'd be annoyed as hell. Why can't Hollywood for a change make some original hits using female writers and directors. Have some faith.
You already know what you are in for, at least sort of., just by reading the synopsis, but this is a funny movie with a great cast that doesn't let you down.
Taraji is a wonderful actress who always delivers.
This is not gonna be Oscar material, but it makes for a thoroughly enjoyable comedy with plenty of refreshing moments.
I think in the terms of Romcoms this movie ranks above average.
You know what you're getting into by choosing this movie, it's a romcom about a woman trying to figure out what men want. Then how are people hating on it so much? I don't get it. It delivers what it promises, nothing fancy, no plot twists, no unique writing, enjoyable fun acting, just mindless bubbly fun.
Taraji P Henson is a bowl of energy and sunshine that keeps the rhythm of this movie constantly up and high and she elevates the whole movie. The movie really banked on this as well, almost every scene has her which is great.
Supporting characters are barely memorable except Max Greenfield (Who played Schmidt on New Girl) simply because I like the actor. Rest are forgettable.
Plot is simple, nothing that unique but fun, it follows the basic romcom formula but nothing wrong with that.
Are there better Romcoms, yes of course. Are there worse, many.
Don't believe on those 1 star 2 star reviews I'd say, the IMDb rating is quite accurate 5-6 star ballpark is much suited for this movie.
If you're in the mood of bubbly fun movie I'd say go for it. I personally quite enjoyed this movie.

I see a lot of bomb reviews, and I get this is no Oscar
Winner. But I laughed hysterically many times. It was precisely what I expected. There were plenty of funny moments, lessons learned and a little romance. Give it a chance. You may like it.
Oh what the heck, I'm just gonna repeat my tittle: WHAT A LOAD OF CRAP
