To my complete surprise, this movie was hilarious.

Not the greatest comedy ever made, but when Dane Cook was being an a$$hole, I was laughing my head off. Unfortunately, the film takes the incredibly predictable turn where he falls for the girl he is supposed to be annoying, but other than that segway into boring predictability, it was actually very funny. And when Cook finally realizes that he has stolen his best friend's girl and tries to steer her back to his friend, the results had me rolling. I was prepared for the last 30 minutes to be a boring chick-flick-type turning-into-a-better-guy eye opener as Cook realizes he doesn't have to be an a$$hole all the time. It started that way (zzzzzzzz....), but then WHAM! he hits us with the wedding scenes. HAHAHAHAHA!

I'll stop ragging at Dane Cook for lame attempts at humour in such awful dreck as "Good Luck Chuck" because he has made up for it with this film.

I agree.. I just watched it on showtime for the first time and I laughed aloud throughout the majority of the movie. I love how Tank is so caught off guard by Alexis's receptiveness to his *beep* on their first 'date'... hahaha Her drunk retorts and quips to his raunchy behavior are perfect!

People who don't appreciate a dose of smut and a good dirty sense of humor will not appreciate this movie. I loved it!

The soundtrack was great too :)

Yeah it was very entertaining. Dane Cook is always funny and I think it was just a good time. People who were critical of this movie must have just forgotten how to have a good time.

I thought the whole cast was great in this movie. This film and Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Superbad are among the funniest films i own.

THE TRUTH CAN BE ADJUSTED.

I am by no means a Dane Cook fan but this movie had me laughing out loud and I don't do that at movies often at all. I'm about to watch it again and plan on buying it.

He was the perfect a**hole in this movie. The part fit him perfectly. Awesome job.

The showtime version is the CLEANEST of the three versions. The other two versions are lots more ranch as A LOT LESS FUNNY. So, this is why the movie has such a low rating on IMDB - it's actually 3 movies, 2 crappy ones and the showtime version which contains only the funny-raunchy parts.

the version i saw on showtime was pretty funny. had i known that dane cook was in the movie i wouldnt have watched, but i was channel surfing and saw a funny scene w/ biggs/hudson and laughed, so i stuck with it.

didnt know dane cook had any good movies, until this
