    I actually enjoyed this on a very shallow level. Cetainly wasn't the best movie, but I've seen much worse.

    i wouldn't recommend anyone put this at the top of their list....
    but it wasn't as bad as the review makes it out to be...
    it's one of those compromise with the wife movies...
    where noone wins... but everyone gets a little something...

    you really do need to have a healthy does of suspended disbelief though to enjoy it...

    So, he does what any normal man in 2012 would do. He signs up for an internet dating service.
    Wait, what has surpassed dating websites?

    A shame this film is so bad, was going to watch for Tom Hardy.

    I don't think it's that bad. It's a typical park your brain at the door movie. Gave me a good chuckle or two. A strong rental for me. But one person's garbage can be another's gem (well, still not gem, but not really garbage, IMHO)

    My local rental store carries blu-rays. If you're going to tell me you rent using netflix, I don't understand why you are reviewing movies here. How could you put up with the terrible quality and compressed audio?

    I watched this the other day, and thought it was terrible as well. At first I had no interest in seeing this, but I thought Tom Hardy was superb in Bronson and Warrior, so I decided to give this a shot.

    Needless to say, there wasn't a single funny moment in the entire movie. I didn't even crack a smile once. The movie wasn't romantic on any level, there was no chemistry between any of the characters in the film. Meanwhile the action scenes were dull as dirt. This movie just failed on every level.

    Also, I have to agree with this line from the review: "McG's visuals amount to a multi-colored headache on the screen." Seriously, this is the ugliest movie I've tried to watch in ages. In fact, I think the visuals were so hideous that it might have distracted me from what was going on in the movie. Maybe I would have laughed once if the movie wasn't so busy trying to look ugly.

    I haven't downright HATED a movie this much since "Leap Year" *barf*

    Oh my, I feel old. Netflix isn't just a streaming service...they will send you Blu-rays and DVDs in the mail if you sign up for that. That used to be all they did, in fact. The review is talking about putting it on your queue for discs, not streaming.
