I hit the dollar theatre last night with my wife since my Mother-in-law was in town and could watch the girls. Because my son is still breastfed he went with us to the movie. When we walked in holding the carrier some jackass said "Oh great, a baby!" to which I replied "Oh great, a jackass!" and sat right in front of him. Turned out he ran his mouth more during the movie than the baby.
Now for the review, Matthew Mconahey (misspelled) is a 35 year old who still lives at home and Sarah Jessica Parker is a person who specializes in getting men like this to leave home. Ignoring the fact that you probably can't make a living doing this, the movie was excellent and had some tremendously funny parts. Every part was extremely well cast, and the "unknowns" really held their own on screen with the big names. Terry Bradshaw cannot act a lick but fit well in the father character role and has an exceptionally gut busting scene in which he bares his 57 year old body to the world. His natural self was well suited to the role. The "Alias guy" was fantastic and both of the other close friends also delivered great performances. For the ladies, Matt McConaughey bares his chest at least once or twice and is typically charming. For the dudes, I just don't see the attraction to Sarah Jessica Parker but she did a great job in her role as well.
I highly recommend this as a date movie, probably equally as good as a rental since the big screen doesn't offer any enhancement to most romantic comedies.
