    Inexcusable

    Dreadful. Absolutely dreadful. The acting is stilted, the screenplay seems to have been put together randomly with no continuity, the directing done by someone who has no concept for how to string together a plot.

    The characters are undeveloped, their motivations are unclear and seem to change from scene to scene and their actions are either under- or over-stated.

    It almost seems as though there were originally two different story lines and something went wrong in the cutting-room; both films seem to have been mixed together resulting in a movie that you'd have to be as nuts as we're supposed to believe the lead character is supposed to be in order to make any sense of it.

    Excuse me for living? Perhaps, but this film shouldn't be excused for existing.

    went off track

    I think the problem was "too many fish in the pond" You had a great story with the character of Dan going over the edge. The fact that he was put in a place where he had to go to meetings with older men could have been a heart wrenching gem. Great idea. Unfort. it got muddled with all these weird side stories. I kept saying "huh?" The whole strange character of Charlotte was wacko and unneeded. I love Christopher Lloyd but he was over the top and would have been better in the mens group. Jerry Stillers comedic timing was way under utilized.Tom Pelphrey is an actor with great range who could have really made a mark with this.Its really too bad. Hopefully he will find a role that will showcase his talent.

    Great film!

    Excellent film. Really enjoyed the plot. Very funny and great acting. Great cast. Tom Pelphrey and Christopher Lloyd were exceptional. Especially Tom. He is a very talented young man and hope to see him in many more movies to come. He is one of my favorites. I will be honest, he is the reason I watched the film and so happy that I did. I thoroughly enjoyed it. So much that I will be watching it again. Tom is such a good actor and can play many different roles. I first noticed him when he played Jonathan Randall in the Guiding Light. I knew then he was going to make it big in the movies someday. Such a great talent. Not many like him come around very often. I highly recommend watching this film.

    Regular...

    Amusing, even sends a cute message, as the title induces, but sins a lot in the female characters, becoming despicable and misogynistic, a pity, because it had potential, degrading and superfluous ... In which women live in function of some male scrotum...

    Loved it!

    I really loved this movie because it had a bit of everything, and it had all the things I like in movies overall. I'm a big fan of romantic comedies, and Ric Klass did a great job with the writing and the production of this film. It was great seeing a lot of my favorite veterans return to the screen (like Chris Lloyd, Jerry Stiller, Robert Vaughan, Wayne Knight, etc), as well as introducing so many of the younger stars. Melissa Archer is a very good young talent and would love to see her in more films, as well as Tom Pelphrey and David Gregory! I could see Tom being another Timothy Hutton in dramatic comedies in the future. Melissa Archer is a versatile and energetic actress who has a wealth of possibilities.
