English Do you also have a problem with counting your sexual partners, and it’s in the dozens rather than single digits? Yes, this assumption is the basis for the rather simple story of this comedy. Ally, played by the tolerable Anna Faris, discovers that she deviates significantly from the supposed average of 10.5, as she has had 19 sexual partners and another is on the way in a drunken state. Twenty partners should be her limit, and so through simple logic, she concludes that her husband must be one of her previous lovers, as she cannot have another without exceeding the magical twenty. The story is based on a single article that Ally reads. Promiscuity isn’t exactly normal, but making such a big deal out of it... well, it’s not a bad foundation for a comedy, but about a minute in, you already know how it will end and what the progression will be. Nevertheless, the film could have excited with comedic scenes. It doesn’t. You might laugh a couple of times, but otherwise, there’s too much rambling about nothing. Promiscuity is criticized, but in the end, it doesn’t really matter because anyone can find the right one. So, is the recipe for a happy life just about having fun? I’m not sure if the comedy was meant to have any broader message, but I know that I simply like Chris Evans, and in this film, he again draws attention to himself. ()

English I was surprised by the number of famous actors in this movie. Considering the reviews on this site, I was disappointed by how unnecessarily vulgar this comedy was at times. Not that I am some posh lady, not at all. But the actors should still say the dumb sexist lines with some grace, so it wouldn’t sound so embarrassing. In this movie it felt really cringy. ()

English It's pretty clear that the target audience for this film is women, but I actually had a good time with it. Sure, it's no masterpiece; it's just another straightforward romantic comedy. However, there's a lot more humor here than heavy-handed romance, so I didn't have the same unpleasant experience as I did yesterday with Take Me Home Tonight. Here, I found the story quite enjoyable, and the main character was likable precisely because she wasn't that dry, uptight type. Even though I didn't feel the urge to laugh until my sides split, I had a smile on my face the whole time. / Lesson learned: 'Good' advice from those around you can turn into quite a nightmare. ()
