I have always enjoyed a good Romantic Comedy... and I am a long time fan of Mila Kunis.... every since her That '70s Show role. So thought it was about time to give this one a go. The first thing I noticed when I popped this one in is that the disc took forever to load. I mean I know that Blu-ray discs take longer to load then DVDs... but this one was ridiculously long. Not sure why... once loaded everything played fine.

An R rated romantic comedy isn't something that is seen often. I usually see these more being PG or PG13. Though this film s a little more sexual based then most of the romantic comedies I have seen. I found the film itself to be a lot of fun to watch. I can't say I actually broke out and laughed out loud. But I did spend much of the movie with a smile on my face. And it did easily keep my full attention from beginning to end. I got a kick out of Woody Harrelson playing the gay friend. I hate to say it but I didn't care much for Justin Timberlake in this film. Mainly hate to say it because he is the male lead in this film... so we see him a lot. I am not saying he is terrible here. But I just wasn't impressed. The high-point for me has to be Mila Kunis. Not just because I am already a fan.... and lets face it... she was hot in this film! But I think she did a great job here... and I really liked the character she played. Then there was a nice surprise when I saw Jenna Elfman (Dharma & Greg) show up for a fairly small part playing Dylan's sister. I always liked her as well. This is a film that I can easily recommend.

My Thoughts:
this one is a decent movie... but not the best horror I ever seen. You can't take it too seriously. Unfortunately the horror icons only had single scene parts (besides Kane Hodder who played Victor Crowely). But it was cool to see Mercedes McNab (Harmony on Buffy) through-out the movie. She kinda played a dumb blonde in this one as well. But at least this time we got to see her flashing for a video at Mardi Gras!    Sorry... perv in me coming out again.  Anyway.... enjoyable but don't expect to much... is heavy on gore but light on scares.

Although this is not a series which I think is a must-see, I enjoyed all the episodes I have seen so far. Too bad that the season sets aren't selling that well, as it seems. The first set (which included the first two seasons) was released almost five years before the second set with the third season was released. I hope I get the chance to watch further seasons. This season had an ending which made me curious about how it will play out.
