Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

J Besser Forgive me but it took a few times for me to really get this one. But, wow, this is a great movie. Wildly funny with a great cast. "Why does everything have to take so long?" is one of my all-time favorite movie lines. It's from 1981's forgotten but great "Four Friends". That not only describes the relationship of the two heroes but my own personal reaction to the great movie. Don't wait until Christmas to watch this one.

jackgdemoss This movie positively SCREAMS 2005 from every frame. It is all of the silliest parts of cringe culture at that time with a generous dose of slapstick comedy. I am personally not a fan of either of those things, but thankfully Ryan Reynolds saved the day with his unique and hilarious style. Save the day may not be the right phrasing, because this is definitely one of the worst movies I have seen this year (2018).

Christmas-Reviewer BEWARE OF FALSE REVIEWS & REVIEWERS. SOME REVIEWERS HAVE ONLY ONE REVIEW TO THEIR NAME. NOW WHEN ITS A POSITIVE REVIEW THAT TELLS ME THEY WERE INVOLVED WITH THE MOVIE. IF ITS A NEGATIVE REVIEW THEN THEY MIGHT HAVE A GRUDGE AGAINST THE FILM . NOW I HAVE REVIEWED OVER 300 HOLIDAY FILMS & SPECIALS. I HAVE NO AGENDA.This film doesn't know what it wants to be. Sweet or Raunchy. They should have gone for raunchy and played this a little meaner. Yes it is set at Christmas time and some people hate raunchy in Christmas films but by making this PG-13 this film loses too many laughs. There is one major set piece where someones Christmas lights get destroyed but other than that this film is forgettable because there is no stand out funny moments with the characters. What many people do not realize here is that Anna Faris is the stand out performer in this muddle mess. When she is on screen the film is funny. When she is not on screen the film becomes almost a HALLMARK Christmas MOVIE.What this story is about In this romantic comedy, a recording industry executive (Ryan Reynolds - National Lampoon's Van Wilder, Blade: Trinity) comes face to face with his old high school crush (Amy Smart - Starsky & Hutch, The Butterfly Effect)--a woman whose rejection of him turned him into a notorious womanizer. But now he realizes that she is his one true love, and he wants them to be more than Just Friends. A better writer would have given the comedy more "reality" then what is presented here. Because everything is "Over the Top" you don't care about anybody. Having everyone revert to how they were when they were in high school is an eye roller. Because you do not care about the people in this film the film itself becomes boring. You will keep checking your watch too see how much more time is left. I am giving this a 6 out of 10 because Anna Faris saves this from being a total waist of time.

bekahhough If the only reason you're "friends" with a woman is to get her to sleep with you you're a terrible person. Just because your friend isn't sexually attracted to you dear neck beards does not make her a bad person. If the only value women have to you is to sleep with them and you can't see the value in her friendship only then that makes you a terrible person. This movie encompasses the sexist idea that if a girl has a male friend she doesn't want to sleep with she's a bad person when actually it's the "friend" who is dehumanizing her and devaluing her friendship that is the a**hole. Also this film just isn't very well made.
