Users Reviews

Good concept
I enjoyed the concept. But *why* are all the pretty women in the movie stupid? That really annoyed me...
Co-written and co-directed by Ricky Gervais, this romantic comedy is surprisingly thought-provoking, only somewhat diminished by the overuse of musical segues.. At times sweet and endearing, it is also iconoclastic and may be seen as somewhat...
Likely to see
Not for me
