disgusting, overrated, pointless
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
I just watched it for the first time, 16 years after its release. I hate not watching a movie till the end, but in this case, it was almost miraculous to succeed. Of course, I didn't expect anything serious, just something funny. And it wasn't. At all. I did not smile once, even less laugh. The plot is so poor, close to nothingness. It was appallingly stupid. Certainly one of the worst movies I've seen. There is nothing to gain from it. Pitiful.
Well, judging from the comments/reviews, i guess i'm one of the few people who loves this movie ! i think it's fun to watch, and the chemistry between the actresses is amazing especially Cameron and Christina,it's not meant to be deep or meaningful or teach you something, personally all the sexual references were fun to me and it's not your usual romantic-comedy movie which is refreshing !The chemistry between the cast is very attracting, and the small details and the cozy atmosphere of their house along with their hangouts is really nice to watch, it feels like the characters really known each other from the 2nd grade.if you're not into sexual comedy it's not the movie for you, if you enjoy a fun mindless humor then you're gonna enjoy watching it !7.5/10 from me
There's nothing sweet about this thing. This movie is derogatory to women. Cameron Diaz is part of a hapless trio of single women who're looking for Mr. Right Now, rather than Mr. Right. They're a bad influence on their viewers. Cameron Diaz and Christina Applegate float their way through a loose. mediocre storyline; a trip to see Diaz's (potential) love of her life, and once and for all grow up. Silly, cumbersome acts are played out, including Diaz getting someone's junk in the eye, Blair ending up with a (particular) piercing stuck between her teeth and the three of them pretending to orgasm in a restaurant, which then turns in to a cabaret act. None of this drives the storyline, but instead furthers their incomprehensible attitude towards life in their 30's. Ridiculous.
This is the movie that really made Cameron Diaz and Christina Applegate really unattractive. And I don't even know why Selma Blair decided to be part of this craptastic flick. It has this message of sometimes you have to jump and take risks for love. But the whole journey is one dumb, immature and unfunny segment after another. The chemistry is just plain weak and absolutely not believable. It's just about how many crude, rude, dumb, and gross stuff a trio of girls can do along the journey. This one is a waste of time and a absolute pass. It just gave me a headache all around.1.6/10
