Romantic comedies
aren’t about who’s
behind the screen
but who’s on it.
What’s Your Number?
is
all about Chris
Evans and Anna
Faris. Faris and
Evans are two
younger stars that
have still managed
to be around movies
and have made some
very decent ‘B’
movies over the
years. Evans got his
start in the parody
Not
Another Teen Movie
and then later with
a Marvel flick,
The
Fantastic Four.
Anna Faris got
started in the
Scary
Movie
series and then
later she got to be
at the forefront in
House
Bunny...
before that doing
some very funny
sidekick comedy
roles.
What’s Your Number?
Is a decent romantic
comedy, but if Anna
Faris and Chris
Evans weren’t casted
it wouldn’t be half
as funny as it
winded up being.
How many people have
you slept with? Some
people’s opinions on
the subject-matter
differ but everyone
agrees that a
certain number is
too many. When Ally
(Faris) is at the
threshold of too
many she decides
that she can’t sleep
with another man
again unless it’s
the right one.
Unfortunately for
Ally she gets
totally bombed while
out partying, sleeps
with her ex-boss,
and is at the number
where she’s doomed
to be alone forever,
that’s what she
believes anyway. She
starts thinking
though, she can’t
meet a new man but
she can try and
catch up with one of
her old exes. She
recruits her
neighbor Colin to
help her find the
exes and see if
there might be one
that could be a
full-time hubby, I
won’t spoil the
ending for you… But
if you’ve ever seen
a romantic comedy,
you already know the
ending then don’t
you?
Faris
and Evans are great
in
What’s Your Number?
This is their movie
and they’re the
reason to watch it.
The chemistry on
screen is fantastic
and what’s really
funny is the whole
time you don’t think
about them being
characters. You
think about them
being
the characters. They
could have called
the people in this
movie ‘Anna’ and
‘Chris’ because
they’re names were
never really thought
about.
There’s no doubt
that
What’s You’re
Number?
was well-made and
well-acted but it
was also
well-written. Sure,
there were a few
unrealistic traits
here and there but
when you look at the
script as a whole it
would be harder to
write a better
romantic comedy than
What’s Your Number?.
Character
development was done
extremely well and
they acted
appropriately too.
They acted like they
were set up to act.
They didn’t have
unrealistic
qualities,
everything was
written
fantastically with
this movie.
As far as extras go,
this Blu-ray has the
normal amount. It’s
the comedy routine-
short feature,
blooper reel,
trailers, deleted
scenes, the end.
That’s what’s there
but it’s more than
good enough.
What’s Your Number?
Is a great romantic
comedy. I’d
recommend it to
anyone and I might
recommend it before
other high profile
romantic comedies to
come out recently.
Evans and Faris are
names on the rise
but they’re not
exactly A-list stars
yet, but they do a
tremendous job here
in their lead roles,
Mark Mylod directed
the movie suitably,
and it was a
well-written,
realistic, romantic
comedy. It’s not an
amazing movie but
I’d recommend it to
anyone for date
night.
