I went and saw it last night, and decided to let a day go by before I offer my opinion on it. To let it all soak in sort of speak.

Well, I really haven't changed my opinion since then. This movie was sub-par at best. Re-hashed jokes, cookie-cutter plot, almost nothing new.

You could easily predict what was going to happen at each point of the movie. I'm trying not to give too much away for those who do want to see it. Basically, he's a risk assessment agent for an insurance company who falls for *gasp* a woman who is his total opposite!

This movie was like a very badly written "There's Something About Mary." Clogged toilet, a strange pet, weird friend, etc...

There were some funny parts, Alec Baldwin does a good job as Stiller's boss, although they could have done more with him just like they could have done more with the differences between Stiller and Aniston's characters.

All in all, there were a few laugh out loud moments (standard Ben Stiller stuff) but they were just too few and far between.

6/10 (I just couldn't bring myself to give it a 7)

Definitely a rental, but not worth a movie ticket price
