SORRY I'M LATE. I SNEAKILY TURNED ON MY CELLULAR TELEPHONE MID-FLIGHT CAUSING THE PLANE TO IMMEDIATELY PLUMMET INTO IDAHO. HOME OF THE LARGEST POTATO. OR WHATEVER THE FUCK THOSE PEOPLE DO. THERE ARE FEW THINGS MORE SATISFYING THAN STOMPING ONE'S ALCOHOL INDUCED DIARRHEA DOWN A STRANGER'S BATHTUB DRAIN. DON'T YOU LOOK AWAY. YOU'VE BEEN THERE. ONE THING THAT NEVER LOSES IT'S APPEAL HOWEVER, IS WATCHING OTHERS' DREAMS GET SHATTERED IN THE BIG APPLE. IN THIS ROMANTIC COMEDY RYAN REYNOLD'S TELLS HIS DAUGHTER ABOUT THE MULTIPLE PARTNERS HE HAD IN NEW YORK. REYNOLDS USES FICTITIOUS NAMES FOR EACH WOMAN. LEAVING HIS DAUGHTER TO GUESS WHICH ONE BECAME HER MOTHER. BASICALLY, THE PLOT DISGUISES HORRIBLE PARENTING WITH A CUTE STORY. WHY ANY FATHER WOULD GO THROUGH HIS LIST OF HO'S WITH HIS DAUGHTER IS BEYOND ME. FOR THE NEXT 40 YEARS HER PRIMARY COPING MECHANISMS ARE GOING TO BE A BOTTLE OF GIN AND HUMPING ANYTHING THAT MILDLY RESEMBLES A PENIS. HOWEVER, FOR THE AUDIENCE, THIS LIST OF FAILED RELATIONSHIPS TURNS INTO QUITE A HUMOROUS STORY. ESPECIALLY BECAUSE IT'S REINFORCED BY VAN WILDER'S SKILLFUL COMIC DELIVERY. IF YOUR GIRLFRIEND, DAUGHTER, FREQUENT PROSTITUTE, OR ANY OTHER WOMAN DRAGS YOU TO THIS FILM, DON'T PUT UP A FIGHT. THERE ARE FAR WORSE ROMANTIC COMEDIES OUT THERE. MOST OF WHICH STAR HUGH GRANT.

Ewwww, this was a delightful film I acutally had the pleasure of watching with a guy who likes movies and his college-bound sister. I did put up a fight at first, but then sometimes you just gotta say, "Fuck it man, I'll go," Movie jerk, you have hit the nail on the head once again with your spot-on commentary. I love you, never change.
Please though, Hugh Grant delivered the performance of a lifetime in Nine Months!!!
THEY CALL ME BEAUTIFUL WONDERFUL.
Right on, my b.f.f.'s and I loved it! Hey Movie Jerk, give Hugh Grant some credit, he was h.o.t. in extreme measures, co-starring next to the one and only Gene hack-attack Hackman. Have you reviewed Notting Hill, another classic to see if you haven't already.
HE'S HAD HIS MOMENTS. HE WAS FANTASTIC IN THE BRITISH SMASH, BITTER MOON.
