How Do You Know

So I “made” my husband go to see this Reese Witherspoon, Owen Wilson and Paul Rudd movie. I thought it was a pretty good movie; however my husband said it was a “decent” movie. It was a typical romantic comedy. There is not real surprise as to who Reese’s character ends up with at the end of the movie. Witherspoon and Rudd’s characters have found themselves dealing with two separate life changing issues. Both situations could really force a person into depression and total withdraw from the worlds around them. They find comfort in talking and being each other that making dealing with these issues much more manageable. Owen’s character is a typical Owen Wilson charter. You love this goofy, fun loving personality throughout the entire movie. You even like him when he is being a stereotypical jerk.
The only negative that I really have is that the movie was a little longer then it needed to be. It was almost a full two hours (with theater previews) and it could have been closer to the hour and half time frame.
This is more of a chick flick, as expected. It does have comical moments (some sexual humor) that will keep men interested. If you like movies like How to Lose A Guy in 10 Days, Along Came Polly, or Four Christmas then you will like this movie too. It is not quit as geared to keeping the men entertained as The Break-up or Losing Sarah Marshall.
