I chuckled for at least half of the film. It is very cleverly written. There is so much to like about this film, I don't know why I am only giving it an 8. I always hate romance flicks but this is not a rom-com...it just isn't. That's like calling Scarface a gangster movie. Cmon, right? It is more of a culture-com(maybe) but with so much other stuff going on. I think I took a point away because it surprised me and another because I have only seen it once and don't know if it will be that great again without the surprise factor. It's unlike any other role I've seen Chris Rock in. I have to say though, it was hilarious. It's like, take your favorite Woody Allen movie, replace the lame lead with cool Chris Rock(who nails his role), update it and give it a new feel, take out the boring drama and gaps, replace the smaller part actors with hotter funnier people and then double it. Awesome! Some movies are funny for a second or have funny parts or lines...this movie had me giggling for like 10 minutes at a time. I don't even want to give anything away...You should see this if you want to laugh, aren't too uptight and can read. Proper ladies and gents probably will despise it because of all of the sex talk and naughty jokes. If you are an adult that doesn't get their undies in a wad too easily it is just a hoot. Enjoy!
