Plot: After five years of dating, David (Jerry O'Connell) gets what he feels is an ultimatum from his girlfriend, Sarah (Bridgette Wilson). She thinks they should get married. When his old buddy, Tyler (Ron Livingston of Swingers), a legendary womanizer, calls to announce his wedding plans, it only increases the pressure on David. When Sarah leaves town on a business trip, David has a chance to explore his options. He turns to his friends, Jonesey (Bill Bellamy), and the unrepentant lothario Michael (Ryan Reynolds, who also starred in director Walt Becker's National Lampoon's Van Wilder) for advice. Jonesey half-heartedly encourages David to marry Sarah. Michael, who treats women shabbily, tries to talk David out of it. David tells his friends about an epiphany that he had many years earlier, when he saw beautiful blond Julie (Erinn Bartlett) in an airport, and was instantly smitten. He knew she was the one. He courageously handed the strange girl his phone number, and a brief romantic correspondence ensued, but it ended disastrously. Uncertain about his destiny with Sarah, David spots another woman at a Mexican restaurant, and has the same feeling he had with Julie. He spends a lot of time and effort trying to track this mystery woman down, while Sarah, frustrated by their lack of progress, considers ending their relationship. Michael, meanwhile, has a real identity crisis, when he wakes up in a strange bed after a night of drinking, drugs, and debauchery, only to find a gay man in the bedroom with him. Buying the Cow also stars Alyssa Milano, Annabeth Gish, and Jon Tenney. The film was co-written by director Becker and Peter W. Nelson. ~ Josh Ralske, All Movie Guide

Loved it!!
Added 7/25/2009

I used to have this movie on VHS and watched it very regularly. It's the type of movie that just gets funnier the more you watch it. This relationship was sick from the very beginning and it was pure humor watching it unfold to a brilliant conclusion. Some of the one-liners in this movie are truly unforgettable.

I don't think the critics liked it and I noticed the few poor reviews here on Amazon. Based on their own reviews, it appears these people were looking for something in this movie that it was never meant to be.

It's over-the-top humor. It's not meant to be realistic, just funny. Sometimes you sit down to watch a movie and suspend reality for the sake of just laughing and having a good time. Everything is not meant to be analyzed and applied. This is pure entertainment, nothing more. So if you are the serious type that resists spending time doing or watching things that don't have real meaning or purpose, don't even go here. This movie requires surrender and a love of the absurd.

Mood picker-upper
Added 2/7/2009

I saw this movie based on a recommendation from a friend. And I recommend it to you. It a light-hearted movie of the scheming ways and lengths a woman goes for marriage. It surely picks up my mood when I've had a bad day.

Tomcats - One of top comedies in past decade
Added 10/18/2009

This movie was quoted by a friend of mine. I went and rented it, and I haven't seen a movie as quick and funny as this since. I bought it on Amazon for less than [...] bucks and I've watched it twice since. I'm still laughing at it. Definitely worth it if you're a guy between 18-100 years old.

Was I supposed to laugh in this?
Added 3/25/2007

I seriously did not laugh once in this movie. Horatio Sanz got me to crack a smile a couple times, but I can't believe I think he should have been in the movie more. I thought Saturday Night Live was bad, I had no idea! SNL is gold compared to this. Every single joke falls flat and the director obviously has no clue how to make a movie. I can't even tell if Jerry O'Connel and Jake Busey are bad actors because the director doesn't even give them a chance. I think one thing that could have really helped this movie out would have been a script. In case the director reads this review I want to tell him you need to have a script BEFORE shooting a film. Just a tip.

One of the worst movies I have ever seen, easily.
