What's Your Number?

I saw this film a little while ago now, I just didn't have time to review it. Why I'm bothering now, I have no idea.

What's Your Number? is directed by Mark Mylod (Entourage) and written by Gabrielle Allan (Scrubs) and Jennifer Crittenden (The New Adventures of Old Christine). It's based on the novel 20 Times a Lady by Karyn Bosnak.

Shallow twenty-something Ally (Anna Faris - The House Bunny) reads an article in a women's magazine that says that if you've slept with more than twenty men, you will never be in a happy relationship. Because we live in a world where people take that shite for real, she goes into a panic.

Ally writes down all the men she has slept with. Oh no, it's nineteen (nineteen!)(Lotto joke). Prepare for the end of the frikken world. She teams up with her frequently-shirtless neighbour Colin (Chris Evans - Captain Ab-merica) who offers to track down all these guys. Ally figures that if she finds someone she already slept with, she doesn't have to reach that most dreaded of numbers and thus condemed to relationship hell. Like a twisted version of a Dickens novel (and an even shitter Matthew McConaughey film), she visits the ghosts of boyfriends past hoping to find the one... again.

Sub-plot, her younger sister Daisy (Ari Graynor - Fringe) is about to get married and their even more shallow, vapid mother (I can't believe they got Blythe Danner to play her) refuses to go to the wedding if her divorced husband is there. She only decides to go because Ally is dating a rich guy and she only cares about appearances. No wonder hubby (Ed Begley Jr. - Whatever Works) divorced her.

Shock horror, after spending all this time with Colin, they end up together. If you're going to get up me for spoiling this ever-so-predictable film, the comment box is just a click away.

This film was way too long. I got bored so many times. I don't remember laughing even once. While it was nice seeing Joel McHale's butt (Community) and spending a few minutes with Martin Freeman (Sherlock) everything else was pretty shit. I pretty much hated every single character although, the dude who played the tuba at the end was OK.

I'm not even going to spell check this one.

Things I learnt: fuck all.

It could have starred Katherine Heigl.
Two out of ten.
