Movie Night 10/1/2011


What’s Your Number?

Everyone has compared this to Bridesmaids in the press and that is incredibly unfair to this quirky movie.

Anna Faris was great as the kinda slut still hoping for her prince. Made to feel like a dirty whore by her friends and an article about how many men you can have sex with before marriage she embarks to see if she missed a gem along the way and tracks down her former paramours.

She is assisted in this quest by the frequently naked Chris Evans who makes me wonder who pissed in my gene pool. His character is a womanizing cad.

Of course you can see where this is going to end up but this is not about the goal it is about the journey. There are no ideas but there are some interesting ways of getting there.

There are also scenes in the commercial and theatrical trailer that didn’t make it into the movie. It is nice to see filmmakers not blowing their loads in the commercials but saving something for the viewer.

As Anna and Chris embark on this journey hilarity ensues and all of her former gentlemen are familiar faces shown both in flashbacks and the present day.

I laughed at the antics on screen and didn’t hate myself for doing so.

This movie hasn’t made much in the theaters but I think it will do better on DVD especially if they splice the scenes that were left for the commercials.
