I've seen countless teeny bopper comedies the past couple of years, and I can honestly say, this wasn't one of them.This was a good, straight forward comedy, with some hilarious moments and a lovable character. The story was also interesting, even though it was very predictable from the beginning (I don't know many people who watch comedies for a complex, deep, mysterious story line anyways) My favorite thing about the movie is all the actors fit in perfectly with the characters they are playing. Especially the main character, who develops through the movie from a weak, shy, kind hearted guy, to somebody who is still kind at heart, but not afraid to defend himself and fight for what he wants. This isn't the best comedy ever, but its good. And I would recommend it to anybody looking for a good laugh out loud movie with lovable characters.

I like Billy Bob Thortan so I gave this one a shot. Billy Bob had his typical bad attitude and was extremely funny at times but it just felt too much like a lesser version of anger management.The lead character is a wimp who is a meter maid and in love with this woman that the class instructor comes to fall in love with. The class teaches him to be assertive and take what he wants. It really was the same plot as Anger Management.The big difference between this and Anger Management is that Anger Management was much funnier with pairing Jack Nicolson with Adam Sandler funnier myself.It is basically the same plot but this movie is worth renting when it comes out on video for decent entertainment.

This is a comedy of very dark humor which I enjoy. Its not the greatest but it simply fulfills its purpose of giving a enjoyable moment to the viewer. The story is convincing. A loser living in New York with a crappy job, and no self-esteem seeks for help with a man called Dr. P to win the love of his neighbor Amanda. The cast is really good, Billy Bob Thornton in a role that fits him like a glove, his performance was excellent. Jon Heder also with a role that fits him really well, he is constantly evolving as an actor and a comedian. Michael Clark Duncan was hilarious, never thought he could be that funny. The brief appearance from Ben Stiller as Lonnie was really convincing. The supporting cast like Horatio Sanz, Todd Louiso and Luis Guzmรกn is a really good complement.
