This was a film oftentimes crude and foul-mouthed but mostly well- written and, curiously enough, for a romcom, it featured one of my favourite themes, redemption. Love redeems Dane Cook's caddish, laddish Hudson through his falling in love with Kate Hudson's Alexis. In short, a stereotypical romcom plot but more abrasive than most and nonetheless thoroughly entertaining and uplifting.The countdown devices at the beginning and the end of the film for Hudson's sideline of pretending to be the worst date ever were really inventive even if they made me wince at times. But this film had its heart in the right place even if it could also be pottymouth.

This film is insulting to anyone's intelligence. Its gross, crass humor was not funny because it was completely unbelievable. Here are but a few examples. -I don't know whether or not the Jewish guys that run Hollywood have a secret hatred against Christians that comes out in their movies, but it's one explanation for the Jesus-bashing that is recurrent in many comedies. If they had done the same to Allah, they would no doubt put their lives in jeopardy. At one point, Tank and a girl go to a pizzeria called "Cheezus Crust". A huge mural of he Last Supper is on the wall, with Jesus and the Apostles eating pizza. The pizza is served in the shape of a large cross, covered with toppings. Tank has a card where he gets a discount for the times he's eaten at this establishment. The card depicts ten images of Jesus's palm and each visit earns a hole punch in the palm, like a nail in the palm when crucified - get it? -Kate Hudson's character is a complete tramp. Why Biggs' character is in love with a girl who constantly has sex with a human sex toy is not believable. Alec Baldwin plays Tank's dad, a college professor who teaches a women's studies class. Naturally, all the college girls swoon over Baldwin's character and vie for the opportunity to have sex with him. I can see this happening in 1990, when Baldwin was a stud. Back then, girls would no doubt line up around the block to be with him. But look at Baldwin circa 2008. His puffy, squinty-eyed face ad flabby physique resembles absolutely nothing of the young Baldwin. This 50-something guy would repulse any college coed.Then, there's the scene where Tank misbehaves himself at a wedding reception. People tolerate his presence as he does at least ten things that would have (a) gotten him immediately ejected (b) caused him to be severely beaten, or (c) had him arrested. He takes the bride and groom figures off the top of the wedding cake and uses them as a spoon to scrape chunk after chunk of cake and slurp it down. He describes the act of backdoor sex to a table of nine-year-old boys. He tells a filthy joke to a priest and a rabbi. He walks up to the bride and groom as they dance solo on the dance floor, tries to cut in, and vomits four times. Everybody just lets him. He sits down and tells a 50 year old woman that she must have been a great slice of **** pie in her day. Then, he stands up, drops his pants and underwear; exposing himself, and demands oral sex from her.This movie could have been funny. Biggs is a funny guy, famous for gross-out movies that are actually funny. This one, however, isn't.

Gee what a surprise. Bad acting job for Ms. Hudson. Another Hollywood buffoon that would be nowhere near Hollywood, if she did not have a relative in the industry. This movie gets a 2 because it had a creative plot. A little offbeat from normal romance comedies.Thats where it ends. Basically a story about a guy that has his best friend date the girl he is trying to woo , an overly vulgar Dane Cook,thus the hope that nebush Jason Biggs looks like the real prize. Obviously , most of us understand where the plot is going from here.. Like we could not see it coming from a thousand miles away lmao. This film was not funny, badly acted and just seemed like it was thrown together like a Hurricane knocks around debris. This was an uneven film that is on the dubious list of films that just did not need to be made. The soundtrack was great , but nothing else was. Horrible comedy, that just makes those that watched the whole thing look stupid. Save your time folks.

Tank Turner (Dane Cook) is special kind of cad: he is a cad for hire, a kind of mercenary who gets paid by other men to make women's lives miserable. Why would other man pay Tank lots of cash to do such a terrible thing? Well, the men are ex-boyfriends or boyfriend wannabes who believe (probably after a lot of hints) that they are not good enough for these women. So they turn to the one man who is guaranteed to give these women the worst experience of their entire lives: Tank, the Adolf Hitler of dates. The premise alone is interesting. But what makes the first thirty or so minutes of this movie work so well is the amount of imagination and cleverness that went into creating these truly awful dating scenarios. Another important factor is Dane Cook who plays Tank Turner like a natural. His part is not an easy one. He has to be rude and outrageous without turning off the audience. This is harder than it seems because there are many films like "Total Eclipse" where mean spirited performances can and do go terribly wrong. It is also easy in these situations for an actor's performance to come across as forced. Just take Julia Roberts' performance as Erin Brockowitch which was forced and even implausible. But Dan Cook pulls it off and generates the kind of energy and excitement that keeps a film like this going. Kate Hudson (Alexis) is also effective as the foil to Dan Cook. Alexis is the one woman who, in spite of being taken on the worst date of her life, is attracted to Tank Turner. She kisses him outside her apartment and even asks him to sleep over. She is not desperate. In spite of the fact that she spent most of her life looking for a relationship with the right man, she discovers that she likes bad boys a lot more.But after the thirty or so minutes about this story line, the film loses its direction. It honestly does not know where to go next. It chooses the safest way out of this predicament -- the predictable romantic comedy -- and the result is that the film becomes predictable and boring. I suspect that the producers realized their mistake during shooting and tried to make up for it by inserting a couple more "bad date" scenes to spice things up. But those bad dates are clumsily inserted and are really eye sores. Take for example those scenes where Tank Turner misbehaves in the worst way possible at the wedding of Alexis' sister in the hope that his behavior would end his relationship with Alexis. This scene, I think, was meant to be funny. But really it appears cruel and tasteless (comparable to many of the scenes in "Total Eclipse"). And why does it come across that way? The reason is that in the beginning there was a logical reason for Turner's terrible behavior, a method to his madness. But here there was no justification at all. It is just a desperate attempt to generate excitement and laughs in a film that has turned sour long before. Even the Professor Turner character (which is played quite decently by Alec Baldwin) seems like a cheap plot devise to generate laughs in a film that stopped being funny. Finally the end does not work very well either.
