I started watching this the other night and almost instantly felt like giving up on it. It's a film where a guy that looks like Seth Rogen:-
but without the fame and money of Seth Rogen (and actually a slacker) picks up a woman that looks like Katherine Heigl. And a successful TV person played by Katherine Heigl at that:-
and manages to have sex on the first date.
I wouldn't have even minded if it was a story about the nerdy, slightly overweight guy with hidden depths of bravery or skills. But he literally had nothing to offer a hot successful woman.
It wasn't even a great story and I only laboured through because of the charms of Heigl and Leslie Mann, and the odd moment where Jonah Hill made me laugh pretty hard. There weren't a lot of laughs and it finished in the most ridiculous fashion, where this stoner loser walked into a desk job in an internet company in LA and managed to afford a flat right away that was big enough for the two of them and a baby.

A bit like sliding doors where the two timing boyfriend didn't like he could one very attractive girlfriend let alone two.
Agreed, terrible plot. But it's got Kathy Heigel in it.
@ The Stigler. Spoiler alert!!! Sounds like crap so makes no odds I suppose.
L Fairfax. I couldn't watch Sliding Doors all the way through but the male lead in that had a boyish charm about him. Lovable rogue sort. That and he has a look that plenty of women would go for, though there are none on this forum who could confirm that.
My wife couldn't see it but I guess you could be correct.
LFairfax,
Not seen it. I probably should because I rather like films that play around with timelines.
PaulC,
It's 8 years old, so I think that's long enough to not have a film "spoiled". Plus spoilers are about great endings where you don't see it coming, and it's obvious where it's going to end up.
