About this movie

This hilarious sendup of everyone's favorite guilty pleasure - the romantic-comedy - stars Paul Rudd and Amy Poehler as the most unlikely couple you'll meet outside a Nora Ephron film. Joel (Rudd) is a big-time corporate suit vying to shut down Molly's (Poehler) quirky indie candy shop around the corner ... and to steal her heart. They live happily ever after...until they don't. But maybe they do? (Hint: Joel bares his heart in a big speech at the end.) From the director of Wet Hot American Summer and Role Models comes this fresh, irreverent comedy with heart.

Ratings and reviews

I don't understand what's going on in this movie. Amy Poehler and Paul Rudd are fantastic in other movies. When you put them together, there is absolutely no chemistry on screen. The writing was bad, the acting was bad, it was all bad. This film took a decidedly bad turn after the opening credits and never turned around. I think moviegoers will be very disappointed.

Words alone cannot express the terribleness of this movie. It's like one long improv class training exercise - and it's just painful to watch, from start to finish. I'm offended that they thought this would be a good movie. If you liked WHAS, you'll probably feel compelled to like this movie too, but this movie is just a slap in the face compared to that gem.

Instead of doing the witty satire I know this cast could have done, there's this pile of poo that amounts to little more than a wink and a nudge. Making the worst romantic comedy ever is not a satire of romantic comedies, it's a blatant cash-grab.
