this movie have all the element to be a smart and sparkling comedy and but for some reason it take the dumbass route . perhaps it do not really know who it audience be represent but it hardly a man movie give the cast and plot and yet be too slapstick and dumb blonde to appeal fully to woman . if you have see legally blonde and it sequel and then this be like the bewilderingly awful sequel . great actor such a luke wilson should expect good material . jessica simpson could also have manage so much more . rachael leigh cook and penelope anne miller languish in support role that be silly rather than amuse . many thing in this movie be paint by number and the various uber cliché montage and the last minute misunderstanding and even the kid party chaos . this just suggest lazy scriptwriting . it should be possible to find this movie enjoyable if you do not take it seriously and but it such a glaring could do good than you will likely feel frustrated and increasingly disappointed a the scene roll past .
