Would have been a success at PG-13, However.

I was just taking a little time to watch a romantic comedy (which I don't do often) and got very embarrassed and disappointed with the direction this film took. This rated - R version was very completely way over the top of anything appropriate to Filmdom that I really couldn't see the point to make such a raunchy and sick film for anyone to watch. The soundtrack was excellent. The first segment of the film was way to inappropriate for anyone that I know.
I'd rather be pulling splinters out of my toes than watching this film play out. Many of the scenes were extremely funny and romantic, but after you watch the film play out, you find that this guy and his friend was really too disfunctional to believe. That's probably why Jessica Alba's character Cam began feeling like this guy could very well become a psycho killer, which would be totally unromantic in such an expensive film about two people finding true love.
If you want to watch a comedy, watch a comedy. If you want to watch a romance, watch a romance. "In my book", both items sometimes work, but this time, it made me very uncomfortable to watch this guy try and exhaust all his possibilities of success by trying to break his curse by sleeping with a total stranger who didn't even meet his requirements, which, by the way, continued to happen all throughout the film.
While Kam (Jessica Alba) seemed to be a top-notch match for him, he just didn't believe that he could make a dent in love, since he thought that he was GOD's gift to women. On the other hand, Kam was not a true believer in love, especially the kind that supposedly he stood for.
This film was good entertainment to say the least, but the total premise for the movie soon weighs heavily on anyone with any morals and only relinquishes our values to the point where we don't know between right and wrong. I'll stand on my own values this time, however, I wouldn't really promise a good feeling about this film to anyone, and can't see how anyone could possibly relate to this film with such a sleazy and raunchy slant.
Again, the comedy was funny as well as the true convictions that Dane Cook wished he had. It was the tone of the film that I wished would be better. If they could remake this film at least at a level of PG-13, it would have been much better in the long run.
I'm going to give this film a below average rating of 2/5. Sorry. It wasn't something I'd ever have watched to completion, and I probably wouldn't at all, except for the fact that I wanted to do this review. Arguably speaking, if it was the last movie made in the world, I totally wouldn't be surprised. However, spending that much time and money on a film, you would at least think that there would be a few redeeming qualities to remember about the film that can stick to your ribs, but this one doesn't do it for me. Make it a PG-13 or a G film and I'll watch it again.
