A woman looks back at the past twenty men she's had relationships with in her life and wonders if one of them might be her one true love.
Two charming leads don't make up for a comedy that just doesn't quite deliver the laughs it should.
The funniest scenes are those of Ally and her ex-boyfriends, including one played by Martin Freeman, but there aren’t enough laughs and it feels overlong.
I wasn’t prepared for how funny and appealing Evans is here, but the script is just as much of a pleasant surprise, throwing out choice zingers where you least expect them.
There’s more crudity than wit.
Romcoms tend notoriously to be all rom and no com, but there is some fun here and some laughs in the standalone setpieces featuring Ally's appalling exes. A nice rental.
Silly but cute.
Faris isn't a bad comedienne, but the cumulative pressure of American entitlement, unfunny sex banter and a happy ending seen from a mile off makes this anything but a pleasure.
Hilarity fails to ensue and the film's reactionary sexual politics make it harder to root for its protagonists' inevitable hook-up.
As most such Hollywood films do nowadays, it ends up sentimental and whimsical.
