The first warning you get that this is VERY much a chick flick, is the view of huge amounts of women filling the theater. Many of those women have come with their girlfriends -- not their husbands or boyfriends. That is because they don't care if we like the movie, and they don't want our muttering to distract them.
The 2nd warning that you are in for a chick flick evening, is the selection of previews you get to watch before the movie begins. The movie marketing people have long ago figured out that there are certain people that got to see certain flicks -- and you might as well show them something they might be interested in when it comes out later. At the same time, one of those marketing types MUST have been a dude, because an action-flick preview snuck into the mix -- although it probably cost this hero is job. May we forever remember his sacrifice.
OK, enough of that. The movie is good. There are good jokes throughout, and Sandra Bullock does her normal solid job. Sadly, the good life has taken it's toll on her -- yes, she is FAT. No, I don't care if you disagree. No, I don't care if the woman(en) reading this whine that if I think she is obese, that I must think you are a blimp. Sandra Bullock needs to spend about 9000000000 hours on a stairmaster and have someone tase her if she goes near her fridge. But still, she is an attractive FATty.
Stay through the credits, some more jokes there too.
I recommend this movie. And for guys whom are dating, I cannot imagine that if you will simply act least ACT like you enjoy the movie with your GF, how that would not translate to a BJ later that night. But if you fuck it up by lamenting the lack of car chases or explosions, you deserve to find release only through self-appreciation.
I also think the movie is OK for pre-teens, although some of the jokes they simply might not understand....
