good entertainment for a rainy day...
Added 4/2/2009
To be honest, I only noticed this dvd because Denise Richards was pictured on the box. And I don't mind confessing that I bought it to watch her perform the usual "eye candy" role--and she faithfully delivers on that score.
But this movie is actually pretty good entertainment. Charlie Sheen delivers a very funny performance as a "deliciously sleazy" rich play-boy type in the first half of the film. I actually laughed out loud during the opening scene: He's in bed with another man's wife, while she's talking on the phone with her husband, and then Charlie begins to stick his tounge in between her toes! Her surprised reaction to this and his sly grin is simply priceless.
It also has a lot of good "chick flick" stuff. So fun for the whole family...

I first saw this....
Added 2/14/2009
... on cable, and thought it was great then. Charlie Sheen and Angie Harmon have great chemistry, and while I'm not a big fan of Jon Lovitz, he manages a better than average performance as the sidekick/best friend, and the film has some truly hilarious--and touching--moments. If this isn't in your collection, I have only two words for you--why not?

A Nice, 'Feel Good" Movie
Added 3/29/2008
I saw this on the TV awhile ago and liked it so well I bought the DVD.
This is not Shakespeare but....I found it quite entertaining and funny. Charlie Sheen does a nice job, as does Angie Harmon and the rest of the cast, which includes a nice comedic turn by Estelle Harris, aka George's mom.
Sheen plays a greed driven stock broker, who is a bit of a sexist pig as well. He then finds his inner feminine side, and finds love with Angie Harmon (aided greatly by Harris), as he takes over an advice column from his ex lover, played by Denise Richards. He is assisted by Jon Lovitz and Rosanna Arquette as his odd married friends. There is a Barry Newman siting as well as Sheen's bitter enemy.
No cool extra's on this DVD to speak of, just this nice romantic comedy.

predictable and dumb
Added 11/28/2007
predictable, and Roseanna Arquette is TERRIBLE in this. She was great in "Desperately Seeking Susan." Her fake NY accent here sucked.

Light romantic comedy
Added 5/27/2007
In three words, this is a light romantic comedy.
But it is charming and funny!
Great job by Daniel Margosis and Robert Horn.
