What’s Your Number?

Unrated Ex-tended Edition

Release Date: January 10, 2012

Synopsis:

After reading a magazine article that insists if a woman has slept with at least 20 people that they have already missed Mr. Right, marketing executive Ally Darling (Anna Faris) begins to panic, thinking that she will be alone forever. With the help of her hunky new neighbor (Chris Evans), Ally starts tracking down all her ex-boyfriends, hoping to find her real true love while she helps him escape his latest fling. Hilarious hijinks and adventure ensues as Ally goes on her wild search for the best “ex” of her life, only to find what she is looking has been right in front of her all along.

My review:

I don’t watch very many romantic comedies since I’m not usually one for “chick flicks.”  They are a guilty pleasure sometimes.  If I watch a romantic comedy and like it, it’s usually because it was heavy on the comedy.  What’s Your Number? was quite hilarious.  It wasn’t as full of crude sex jokes as Bridesmaids but it was a good blend of comedy and romance.  It wasn’t as predictable as I thought it would be either.  I was actually wrong on a few things… like who has to run after who in the end.  (You know someone will have to, it’s the law of romances!)  I can usually figure out the overtly formulaic plot lines, but this one deviated just enough to keep it from being the same old story.

It played off of the double standards our society has about engaging in sexual relationships and the pressures put on women to marry a certain type of man by a certain age.  There were a few plot holes I questioned, but they didn’t really affect the over all storyline.  The characters were not overly deep in terms of development, but they were built enough to be satisfying.  I had fun watching it with hubby – who also found it funny and he doesn’t like sappy types either.  And well, Evans was nice to look at!

Verdict: Buy it!  Watch it for a girls night in, date night or alone.  Either way you’ll be laughing!
