Great romance movie with awesome characters., 19 January 2002
Author: all_about_rolling_rock from Chesterfield, Michigan

This movie appealed to me for one main reason.I went through almost the same situation with my best friend and now ex-girlfriend.

This movie is set around two best friends Max and Jay.Max is the party type all around ladies man while Jay is an unlucky in love man still sulking over a pat relationship.

I personally think the roles were givin out perfectly.David Schwimmer as the ladies man.Jason Lee as the sensitive man(a drastic change from his usual roles especially in Kevin Smith's movies)and Mili Avital give a sexy performance as the girl wanted by both men.

If you like a good romantic comedy i would say see this.Heck even if your not into romantic comedys still see this movie.

4 out of 5 stars.
