I saw a screening of this in Baltimore a few months ago mainly because I'm a huge Wonder Years fan. This movie is absolutely hilarious.
The basic premise is Fred Savage finds out his girlfriend of several years is cheating on him so his best friend tells him to go have sex with as many women as he can to get over her. This movie is very funny, but not stupid humor, there are some really smart moments in it. Plus there are tons of really hot women in it, which is always a good thing.
I really hope this movie comes out soon. Every guy in the audience will find themselves nodding as Steve (Savage) goes through many of the same situations that you have also whether it be being dumped, shutdown by a girl at a bar, or just hate your job and your boss. I rarely write movie reviews on here because so many people do but this movie might get missed and I think its an instant classic in the making.

I was as skeptical as every long time fan going into this one. Although Brosnan himself has played a great Bond, his movies with the possible exception of Goldeneye have been subpar at best (think The World is not Enough).
The prologue is one of the best in the series. Although it is a bit long, the rest of the movie is set up around it. Also seeing Bond shoot land mines with his machine gun made all fans of the GoldenEye game smile as old memories were recalled.
This movie was especially a reward for fans who have stayed loyal to the series after all these years. A huge amount of hidden references to the older films. Ex. "Diamond's are Foreveryone" and the Q-Lab archive (you may have noticed the briefcase and spike shoe from FRWL or the Thunderball Jetpack). Also the true fan's jaw dropped during the end sequence involving Moneypenny.
In the end this movie is a back to the basics of the series with a new edge for the 21st century. Although Desmond's Q is absent John Cleese takes over the role with a definate new wit. Judi Dench is edgy as M as usual, and who will forget Miranda and Jinx's climatic ending which easily overshadows Bond and Graves.
Pierce Brosnan is James Bond. He proves it here. Die Another Day brings Bond back to his former grandeur, proving once again that no one, including XXX has a thing on him.

I went to see this movie primarily because I'm a stockholder in Lion's Gate Entertainment, the company that distributed the movie. I had also seen Kevin Spacey recently in American Beauty and was interested to see how he dealt with this very different role.
Although the film starts off a bit slow, it quickly draws the viewers and keeps a hold of them. Luckily this movie was only about an hour in a half though. Any longer could have put the watcher to sleep. It contains many interesting discussions that will leave you thinking on your drive home from the theater.
I would recommend this movie to anyone who feels that a strong script and good acting are more important than any special effect or sound track song.
