| 02.24.06 | Internet | I think the problem with this movie is that Ryan Reynolds is too much of a jerk. Granted, that seems to be the type of character where he really shines but for this formula you really need to be behind him in order to care or laugh when things don't work out how he wants. I mean, I certainly identified with being stuck in the friend zone in highschool but for this whole movie i was thinking "i wouldn't do that." The vindication is supposed to be that now that she's more mature she recognizes that you were right for her the whole time, not that you can now act just as assholic as the jocks did back then. I think The Baxter handled a similar theme much better. I wanted to like this movie but i think it's tonally offset about 15% and that kept me from really going with it. |
