Absolutely Fantastic

It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.

The acting in this movie is really good.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

God knows I wanted to LIKE this movie...but the fact is none of the characters are even likable. The male lead is pathetic and needy, the female lead is manipulative and abusive. He writes a script about what happens to him day to day obviously and his life is uninteresting. No one should have to put up with what his girlfriend subjected him to daily and no one should be so needy that they would endure it. Most of the picture I just kept my eyes closed because I couldn't stand to watch these people's lives. I like indie movies...they are usually quirky and left field humorous. I didn't find any humor in this movie and I doubt I would have spent five minutes with any of the characters. Sorry. I really hate when someone trashes a movie, but if this the BEST idea someone could come up with for cinema then I can understand the volume of POV movies and found footage.I was in a good mood when I watched this movie but when it was over I felt like I had eaten something bad.

I saw this movie about a week ago and thought it was pretty good. It follows the average story/plot of the Jonha Hill/Seth Rogan fat guy comedy getting the hot girl. So it was like watching any of those movies but done for no money. So take from that what you will. I think Josh Gad is as funny as they come. I saw him in Book of Mormon this year and never laughed more. For being a character actor this is something 100% different than you are use to seeing of him. His girlfriend, played by Kristen Ruhlin, wasn't unique in any way but she did stand out performance wise as possibly the only serious actor in the bunch. Josh Gad and her together were very good and believable. The rest of the movie is a little goofy filled with super over the top acting characters, which is fun to watch and laugh at. The story sort of jumped around at times and I wish it had focused more on one single plot line but it works. There were a few really stunning shots of the film. It opens in New York and then jumps to these random shots of her in New York later. Those were so cinematic and beautiful and simple to me, I wish I could see more of that movie. The highlight being Charlie Sheen and his hat. He is so funny and made the movie for me. Being the type of movie it is, I expected it to be. The biggest problem I had with the movie was I thought it would be more over the top funny character slap stick funny, but Josh Gad and Kristen Ruhlin made it more into some film festival type film rather than a comedy. It was just not what I expected. Highlights: Hilary Duff looking hot. Charlie Sheen poking fun at himself. Newman and The granny from Wedding Crashers. Check it out for the Sheen factor

I'd definitely recommend. It's a lot of fun! I DO NOT understand IMDb user ratings. This deserves to be much higher! It says that the weighed average is a 7.8 but the score is a lot lower. Very harsh for such a movie that deserves to be seen for a unique yet fun cinematic experience. I was fortunate enough to of had the opportunity to attend the premiere of SHE WANTS ME. The theater was pretty much full and the entire audience laughed out loud at least 15 or so times. I wasn't counted, but I know it was well over 10 times. Most of the humor comes from Josh Gad's character especially when he is dealing with his girlfriend's ex-husband (played by Johnny Messner). Messner has a lot of credits, but was a relative new face to me. He did a good job, but his character did have the best lines, so I guess most of the credit should be given to the scribe. Charlie Sheen has about 3.5 scenes in the movie, totaling about 6 to 7 of the 85 minute running time. Hilary Duff was in 6 scenes, totaling about 12 to 15 minutes or so I'd say. And Newman from Seinfeld (Wayne Knight) was in 2 scenes, totaling about 6 minutes I'd say. Debra Jo Rupp (Mom from That 70's show) was in pretty much every scene with Wayne Knight. They were funny and it was even funnier seeing the rapping granny from Wedding Singer and Wedding Crashers was in this movie too!

This is just my opinion but after watching a screener of this movie, I found myself thoroughly enjoying it and I even laughed out loud a handful of times. I was skeptical at first about whether I wanted to give this type of movie 85 minutes of my life, now I'm glad I did. I can see why Charlie Sheen, Hilary Duff, and the other famous actors would do this movie. It's different and more sentimental than most of the movies they are frequently doing.I'd recommend this movie to most movie goers out there, but mainly for a high school or more youthful audience. They will get a kick out of the witty writing and comedy that Josh Gad provides.
