5/10
If you take this home tonight or any night, you will likely find it underwhelming, drat
28 November 2011
Matt (Topher Grace) and Wendy (Anna Faris) are twins living in the Los Angeles area. Matt, a graduate of M.I.T., is afraid to take chances and has wound up working in a video store. On the other hand, Wendy has aspirations to be a writer but has a very controlling boyfriend. She thinks she loves him and can make sacrifices for their future. A close friend of the two, Barry (Dan Fogler) is an very odd duck, who has just gotten fired from his job as a car salesman. Now, the girl of Matt's high school dreams, Tori (Teresa Palmer) walks into the mall where his store is located. She has come back for a party that their class is throwing. Thinking quickly, Matt goes out the back and into the front of the store, pretending to be a customer, like Tori. During small talk, he tells her he works for Goldman-Sachs and is an investment banker, like she is. They both end up later at the wild party but how long can Matt keep up his deception? This is a lame film, underwhelming in everything but its cast, which is talented. However, the story, direction, photography and all other movie aspects are less than average indeed. Even romcom fans, like me, will be upset at its crudeness and general ineptitude. So, don't take it home unless you are that proverbial glutton of punishment or a fan of Grace.
