    Sparring Opposites Come together Romantic Comedy

    by critcallyme

    This movie provided a lot of laughs and a few tears. The chemestry between Kathrine & Josh was good. Melissa McCarthy (from Gilmore Girls) was great in her supporting role as one of the over the top neighbors. It is about two polar opposites that are best friends to a couple that get killed in a car crash who leave these two as co-guardians of their baby. They have to put aside their constant bickering and dislike for one another to try to be there for the baby. After the tears of losing their best friends pass the parenthood jokes begin. Anyone who has or work with children will appreciate a few of these. Messer (Josh's character) has to make a decision between the new family they have made or his career. It is light hearted for the most part. There is no excessive language in this comedy unlike some of the comedy releases of late.

    My Wife Loves the Josh

    by The Tobemann

    Wife and I LOVED this movie. Laughed, cried. Lots of eye candy for the ladies, which is great for the gents...later. Pacing was great, acting was great, especially the babysitter. She stole every scene, and we wished there were more scenes with her in them. Nice to see Lucas working again.
    Great all around movie for a date with your wife or girlfriend. Believe me, guys won't be thinkin it's all lame, and girls...well, frickin A, it's got Josh struttin' around in his boxer briefs, so what more do you need?

    I'd go see it again and then by the DVD.

  • So-so

    It was a so so movie at best

    by midgard

    This movie has been done many times before, I'm not going to spoil it for anybody. But you see the twists coming and you know how its all going to fall back into place by the end of the movie. It was kind of a slow movie on top of that, its worth a rental but save your money for next month when we start getting some good movies you want to see at the theater come out.
