After reading Roger Eberts review (3 Stars) I decided to check this movie....and I did enjoy the movie! It had some very funny moments. Mostly because of Zahn's great and subtle comedic timing and his straight subjective: I want her and I get her, no matter what. Jennifer Aniston plays a sales woman and rejects him, but he "just keeps showing up - like UPS".
Even though this is a funny romantic comedy it seems more for guys who from time to time watch these kind of movies...just my guess, since Zahn's not a typical heartthrob leading man ;) Maybe that's why this movie made peanuts at the box office.
I also like Zahn's innocent character as a guy who can't hurt a fly, but is also often kind of fearless. Even though Aniston plays the tough one, it turns out, that his character really is the one who sort of has it all together. And his social skills are much better than hers.
A little bit deeper character development and more obvious emotional stakes and this could have been a great and funny independent movie. A little bit more over the top and it could have been a great romantic comedy. But it's somehow in-between. The movie gets 6.5 stars from. It made me rent Sahara because of Zahn, where he also has some funny moments.
