This movie is hilarious, and certainly the best use of Russell Brand-Perry I've ever experienced.

In a world of wretched romantic comedies, this somehow manages to end up not being one.

While it does retain the predictability of a traditional romcom, it also is able to have enough humor to keep the dragged-along movie date from feeling resentful for weeks afterward.
