Far better than expected.

Actually, I found the preview to be hilarious, so I was ready to enjoy this one. However, having said that, it had slightly more substance than I thought it would-- and less laughs.

At least a few laugh out loud moments, balanced throughout the movie. Often I find a movie to only be funny for the first half. This one had about 5 real good chuckles from me, and there were as many toward the end as the beginning or middle.

Also, didn't get boring. Perfect length, and enough substance and character development that it worked really well.

Despite being a fairly typicallish movie, the writing was actually strong enough that the characters were able to develop (which sadly doesn't happen in a lot of hollywood movies).

Also, the main actor has his shirt off a lot and is totally buff. I think this is something definitely worth checking out for anyone who likes guys. And for those who like girls-- (its that sort of movie-- you go in because you think one or the other is hot,)-- Kate Hudson is pretty, but the really hot chick is the millionaire's daughter. Wow.

*2.5/4

I've watched TV so little, I just haven't known anything about new movies. Sad
