one of my absolute favorites!

How sad is this?

Did you people see the same film I saw?

Brilliant and touching

I always wished to meet an angel, though I sure wondered how it'd be. And now I know. I seem to agree with a lot of people that it goes very pleasantly. I'd also like to thank Him for rock music and for summer vacations. You have to think very hard to come up with anything bad to say about this flick. What HAD you thought He'd do about the modern world? It's the 20th Century. You come away wondering WHY you hadn't seen this movie before, and this isn't a BAD feeling. I'm going to go look around the Internet and scare up more of the story on it. Denise Richards was perfect in it. They all were. Hollywood, send us more like this, please. Or have made them a decade ago and send them back.

..... TRASH!! This movie was beyond awful. Another one of those "Everything going wrong on a first date". Acting was horrendous, plot line simple and predictable. OK I get its a romantic comedy . This was a bore-fest. The funniest part of the movie was within the first 5 minutes. Jeff Garlin, of 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' fame pulls a zinger. Than I do not laugh for the rest of the movie. The fact that Ben Affleck is the best actor in this movie is telling. Mr. Affleck never makes anyone forget about Spencer Tracy or Paul Newman. Matt Damon is alright in his one scene as well. Denise Richards as the trophy girl was nothing special. This movie was unrealistic and many loose ends that never quite get tied up. The most shocking thing in all these comments is that I saw many 9's and 10's. Were these cyber critics watching the same movie I was? I do not know, maybe my DVD was the unfunny copy. Save your time folks and if you really want to watch a funny movie about a first date , might I suggest a flick from the mid 80s called AFTER HOURS, with Rosanna Arquette at her finest.

This was on The Movie Channel tonight. I'd never heard of it, but watched it because the cast looked interesting. What a pleasant surprise.The setup has been done a million times. Shy guy gets up the nerve (after months and months) to ask Beautiful Girl out. Amazingly, she accepts.People in the office are so amazed at this that they literally make bets and have a party where they keep track of the couple's evening. Their date takes an odd turn when they encounter a very strange homeless man who attaches himself to them and the plot gets stranger and stranger and funnier and funnier.It has echoes of two of my favorite movies, Blake Edwards's BLIND DATE and Martin Scorcese's AFTER HOURS, but it's totally original.I guess this was one of those movies that just literally got lost in the shuffle in the turbulent decline of Miramax Films. That's a shame. Did it ever show in theatres? I've never seen it.The whole cast is great. Even Ben Affleck, here very comfortable in a character part. Maybe he'll have a future as a great character actor and stop making bad movies where he's leading man. There's a good cameo by Matt Damon at the end of the second act that's especially good.Having read the comments, I know not everyone enjoyed this as much as I did. That's why the multiplex has a dozen auditoriums with different film playing.That's my story and I'm sticking to it :-)

Not brilliant but entertaining enough. I don't see how they managed to get as bigger stars such as Denise Richards, Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Luke Wilson and Jay Lacopo to star in this obviously not going to be a massive hit movie. The storyline was basically pretty weak and I was shocked especially at Ben Affleck who seemed to have such high standards in his films. Same thing with Matt Damon. I didn't understand why Matt Damon was given that crap role that he could obviously not do anything with. Even though it was obvious he took the role just to do a movie with his mate Ben I can't see why he didn't ask for another role, something that he could make himself look good with. Ben Affleck was average which surprised me. While the role wasn't perfect for Denise Richards she was perfect for the role. She was the perfect beautiful sexy woman. Luke Wilson was good but not great and the standout was without a doubt Jay Lacopo, who really was excellent. Had the movie been a bigger hit I feel it was the type of role that can land an Oscar if we just forget about the dance scene at the end which made no sense whatsoever and partly ruined his great performance. I also thought for such an unknown the director (Jordan Brady) did reasonably well although I'm sure with such an all star cast he had a lot of help from all the experience that was with him.
