What's Your Number?
Released: 2011
Comedy
Director: Mark Mylod
Starring: Anna Faris, Chris Evans, Blythe Danner
Running Time: 106 minutes
Rated: R
The breakdown: A recently unemployed woman hunts down her old boyfriends to see if one of them is Mr. Right.
This movie had a disgusting premise, but I hadn't seen it and I was bored, so I watched it. I would've been better off bored.
I don't know who Anna Faris is, but I'm guessing she's from Saturday Night Live since it seems a lot of other cast members were from there too. If that's not the case, then it sure felt like a movie based on an SNL skit.
You should also note, often times when a movie is starring the same person that's the executive producer, it might not be a good movie. Meaning no one else wanted to produce the idea but the "star". That's the case with this one.
Here's the premise.
A recently fired young woman reads an article in a women's magazine that says what the average number of men a woman has slept with in her life. The woman discovers this average number is much lower than what her personal number of lovers is and is worried after talking to her friends that she won't be able to find Mr. Right in the future. She doesn't want to sleep with any more guys so she goes to the past boyfriends she's slept with to check and see if any of them might be the Mr. Right she missed.
She hires the Gigolo across the hall of her apartment building to track down the old boyfriends since he mentioned his dad was a cop.
This woman has no job and doesn't look for one, instead she spends her money on trying to find old boyfriends. Meanwhile, her sister is getting married and is the "perfect" daughter to her mother's eyes. She spends a lot of buddy non-sexual time with the guy across the hall and you can guess what happens by the end of the movie. So formulaic!
There's lots of nudity (which in Chris Evans case is good) and lots of cursing so it's not a movie for kids. There's lot of bathroom humor and gross jokes that aren't funny. Unfortunately, there's not a lot of entertainment here so if you're looking for a good movie, keep looking.
1/2 out of 5 for a naked Chris Evans. It's not the worst movie I've ever seen, but it's easily forgettable.
