Directed by Howard Deutch

Written by Jordan Cahan

Genre: Comedy

Plot Outline: Smart, beautiful and headstrong, Alexis is the girl of Dustin's dreams. But after only five weeks of dating, the love-struck Dustin is coming on so strong that Alexis is forced to slow things down--permanently. Devastated and desperate to get her back, Dustin turns to his best friend, Tank, the rebound specialist. A master at seducing--and offending--women, Tank gets hired by freshly dumped guys to take their ex-girlfriends out on the worst date of their lives--an experience so horrible it sends them running gratefully back to their beaus. But when Tank works his magic on Alexis, he ends up meeting the challenge of a lifetime. Alexis is the first girl who knows how to call his bluff, and Tank soon finds himself torn between his loyalty to Dustin and a strange new attraction to his best friend's girl.

Starring: Dane Cook, Kate Hudson, Jason Biggs, Alec Baldwin, Diora Baird

Rated R for strong language and sexual content throughout, including graphic dialogue and some nudity.

Runtime: 101 minutes

Not sure about this one. The red-band trailer had some funny moments, but also a handful of not so funny moments. I'll see it, but I'm not entirely optimistic on the outcome.

If I had to make a list of the three people in Hollywood that I cannot stand, they would be Dane Cook, Kate Hudson and Jason Biggs (in that order). I'd rather shoot my family than watch this.

Howard Deutch? Howard "Pretty in Pink" Deutch?

He's fallen far...but, looking at his IMDB directing credits since then, it's been pretty much downhill for him since 20+ years ago.

It looks funnier than any previous Dane Cook vehicle, but that's not saying much at all. I may check it out on DVD or HBO if it gets decent reviews.

It has a likeable cast but the movie looks so bad that I was actually embarrassed for the actors while I was watching the trailer.

I thought Good Luck Chuck was very funny for the first half of the movie. It's only when Cook's character turns into a stalker when the movie goes downhill.

I'm a pretty big Dane Cook fan, so I'll be seeing this with the girlfriend tomorrow ...

was suppose to see Burn After Reading last night but it was sold out and I ended up seeing this. I am no Dane Cook fan but he wasn't awful in this. he plays a complete dick pretty well. it's much better than Good Luck Chuck, which I know doesn't say much.
it was good to see Alec Baldwin and there were a few funny moments. it's a watchable film, nothing too great. 6/10
