I rated this movie 9 out of 10. That's right. 9 out of 10. Why? It really made me laugh.Jenny McCarthy ridicules everything in this movie. Herself, her cast, stereotypes we all know, the photography business, love, women, men, fashion, movies, everything. Mostly, though, this movie makes fun of romantic comedies. This is a movie you should not take too serious, because it isn't. It's mostly just finger-pointing and laughing. You just have to "let it happen" as you watch it, and enjoy the hysteria and (self-)mockery. It really cracked me up a couple of times, especially at the end there was a joke I couldn't get over.Jenny McCarthy is way too intelligent to produce something like this with the intention of making it a serious romantic comedy. (Because those of you who've seen it: a shoe? Really?) She just wanted to laugh at romantic comedies and I think she did a superb job.
This movie was assassinated by the critics. I really think it was a matter of sexism. The mainly male critics could not handle Jenny McCarthy's assertive nature.McCarthy is as wide-eyed, big mouthed, and rubber-faced here as Jim Carrey in his Ace Ventura days. Why did the critics find Carrey hilarious, but McCarthy "over the top" and disgusting? I think they want leading women, even comic ones to be their gentle, understanding lovers and sisters, but not a woman who grabs you by the scrotum and demands "**** me!" McCarthy wrote the movie and that's probably its greatest weakness. She ties together a bunch of comic sketches, date with Woody Allen type, date with a magician, girls out drinking, etc. It sort of works inside of a simple, girl looks for true love after being rejected plot, but the sketches are hit and miss and quite uneven, as they tend to be in raunchy comedies like this.McCarthy makes up for the so-so writing with her acting. She's does all kinds of physical stuff from farting to menstruating as if she's the center of attention at a party. She acts naturally and with amazing self-confidence.Over all, McCarthy makes the movie watchable and at times entertaining and fun. It is an okay raunchy little comedy. It certainly does not deserve all the hatred movie critics have thrown at it.
This movie was lent to me by a friend who said she considered it to be the 'funniest movie she has ever seen'. Well...I think she must have been watching it with her eyes closed because I obviously didn't believe so. This is the biggest waste of time you could ever go through. Seriously, I would rather watch paint dry than spend time watching this charade of tasteless jokes and characters. Jennie McCarthy is a very talented actress, when she wants to be. The fact that she has to try to make people laugh by filming a scene of having her period in a supermarket just makes me realize she isn't so funny. She just thinks she's funny. In the end, all I could say to myself was, 'how far does my friend live? So I can drop off this DVD on her front stoop as soon as possible. Maybe she'll pass along this crap to someone else.'
