Quotes:

Charlie: I've got to put the curse to the test. Where is she?
Stu: She's beached over there next to the giant garbage bag full of doughnut holes. Eleanor Skepple. She's angry, rude, and she smells bad. In addition to back acne, she's got front acne and side acne. You see that glass of water there? She keeps her teeth in that glass.
Charlie: So you're saying she's single.
Stu: She's your best bet, man. You sink the soldier all you want. This chick ain't never getting married. If she was the last woman on the face of the earth, humanity would come to a screeching halt.

You're Gonna Get It

Highly Recommended

I really do not understand why I have been seeing so many bad reviews about this one. In my opinion, it is by far one of the most original pseudo-romantic comedies ever~ Not to mention, it was really hilarious. Everyone I knew who watched it really liked it..

I reckon Cook played his role well and hes that sorta character that grows in u. Jessica Alba on the other hand, is hot as usual !! Many of their jokes, yes, i agree some are crude, but If you're in for a good laugh regardless of any morality standings or any crap like that, I promise its money well spent.

You'll come out of the cinema feeling light hearted and happy.. Beware though, it has jokes which are very funny to most people but downright offensive and idiotic to some others - particularly, (no offense meant) over-weight, unattractive women.

Well, either way, I guess the viewers should just watch the movie with an open mind and not take it too seriously. After all, its meant to be a crude comedy. Its given an R rating as well, so u have been warned ! =)
