I had such low expectations for this film that it actually might have exceeded them. However, that still doesn't mean the film is any good... it's just not as bad as I thought it'd be. The film relies solely on Dane Cook to carry it. It does have Jessica Alba in the cast also... but she acts better on the poster than in the movie and only proves again that she should never be used anywhere outside of Sin City. Cook meanwhile does okay in the lead role, managing a few laughs here and there, while not really doing anything to distinguish himself either. The one aspect of the film I did like, which is a real rarity amongst 'sex comedies' is Cook's longing for a relationship and to have real love (most of the air-headed males in these types of comedies would be content with the chorus line of girls marching into his bedroom). It almost makes the film appear sweet... until the next crude joke comes along to snap you out of it. Also, what's with the penguins?
