Silly comedy with beautiful women., 19 August 2005
6/10
Author: insomniac_rod from Noctropolis

Little known comedy about two best friends and their misadventures starring the always beautiful Christine Taylor and the also pretty Paget Brewster.

The situations are silly but manage to be entertaining.

The movie asks for Paget Brewster's performance. She is great for the role. She's such a good but underrated actress. Christine Taylor delivers a believable performance, she always does. The rest of the cast is just OK. Claudia Schiffer's character does not ask for much and it's always nice to see Joey Lawrence in his typical b-movie performances.

Watch this movie as an okay way to kill half an hour. It's not a good movie but it's not certainly a terrible one. If you watch the movie because it has beautiful women you might also like it. I did.
