Goofs:

Continuity: When Peter gets out of Rachel's car after trying to kiss her, Rachel's body is turned in her seat and she is facing him. In the shot where Peter is walking away, she is turned and facing the windshield. When the shot returns to a close-up of her in the car, she is in the same position as when Peter was in the car with her, then she turns to face the windshield and drives away.

Excruciatingly unfunny

Apart from about 10 minutes of vaguely amusing dialogue 3/4 of the way through the film, this was an absolute trial! I enjoyed Knocked Up, I didn't mind the 40 Year Old Virgin, but this was just WOEFUL. I cannot BELIEVE this is hanging on to a 7.9 rating on IMDb and can only assume some serious vote rigging.

Apart from anything else, the sight of the lead actor "tackle out" was enough to put me off food for life. I am sure it cracked up some infantile teenagers out there, but it wa sone of those lame "whoa, how CONFRONTING!" moments that people use when they can't think of anything clever.

Who the hell WROTE this turkey??? Avoid like the plague!
