I saw this movie with the lowest expectations. I'm not a Cameron Diaz fan nor do I tend to like most chick flicks. However, this one had me consistently laughing and noticing similarities between me and my friends.
Odds are, if you are a straight male, you will not like this movie. The target demographic for this one is definitely girls in their late teens up to women in their mid-thirties. Thats my guess as to why this movie didn't do very well and why some people don't like it. As a twenty something female, this movie is dead on. My friends and I are that blunt with each other about men and relationships, and going out to bars drinking and dancing and having fun in no way makes me, my friends, or the characters in this film "promiscuous" as one user said.
While the acting or directing is by no means great, this is the kind of film that isn't meant to be great. Its light and funny and written by one of the writers of South Park. This is the perfect movie if a girlfriend just got dumped, or a chick flick night, or something like that. If you're looking for a great film with remarkable acting and plot, this isn't it, but if you want something fun that you can laugh at again and again, then by all means.
I'm tired of users ripping movies like this to shreds when they're clearly not the demographic. Sure, there are going to be women in their 20's who think this is movie is dumb and not at all true to life, but for me and so many other women I know, its right on.
