I had a personal interest in this film because the New Hings restaurant they filmed at is right next to where I work. Although it's not Aberdeen as they claim in the film. lol. ooops.
Is that a spoiler? I think what follows is sort of a give-a-way to what happens in the film, so I marked it as a spoiler.
I thought the film was sort of funny because there's actually a lot of guys like Steve Zahn, only worse, that have a hard time approaching women for fear of getting shot down. The fact that his horrid approach worked is what makes the film sort of cute, unique, and original... because that crap would never fly in the real world.
And that is probably the problem with the film... it's pretty unrealistic. Aniston seems to fall for him more so out of pity, or simply because he's so peculiar in his resiliency.
It's not a match made in heaven, but it's a dream come true for a dork.
All in all, this is a film that will be forgotten, if it was ever known. It doesn't need to be recommended because there's nothing ground-breaking, but I will say while I'm not a fan of this kind of hair-brain romantic crap, I didn't feel like it was 2 hours of my life I wanted back. So that's not bad. Recommended to women, dorks, losers, guys who can't get a girl, nerds. I think the manly men who like The Godfather and Goodfella's are going to think this is a shameful waste of time.
