i originally catch buy the cow on starz and and i find it to be funny and enjoyable . don not expect to garner any answer to life question and but what do you expect from a straight to video movie . i laugh out loud at alot of the joke in this movie and and definately would suggest this movie to my friend . i think the save grace for this movie and be the fact that both guy and girl can find humor in the situation and commentary that you see in this film . if your girlfriend drag you to the video store and and insist that you rent a romantic comedy and you can not go wrong with buy the cow ( more emphasis on the comedy than on the romance . but she would not know that ) ( spoiler . ) perhaps the funny scene deal w or mike hanson ( ryan reynolds ) a he deal w or his newly discover homosexual tendancies . i have to cringe ( in a good way ) when he almost get shot a a would be pedophile .
