Synopsis
Fetching Sara Moore (Elizabeth Hurley) thinks that she is a happily married woman until process server Joe Tyler (Matthew Perry) shows up at her Manhattan apartment to serve her with divorce papers. Sara gives Joe a run for his money, fleeing to the Estee Lauder Salon (a nice touch for those who know Hurley as the company's representative) and dodging him all around New York City. Realizing that she stands to lose everything in the divorce to her Texan cattle-rancher husband (Bruce Campbell) if she is served first, Sara hires Joe to turn the tables and serve her husband first. As the two leave New York for Texas in pursuit of Gordon, they engage in luggage carousel hijinx, have a run-in with a bull, and find themselves at a Monster Truck rally, among other places. Of course, true love is always just around the corner as Sara and Joe spend more time together in pursuit of saving her millions. Vincent Pastore plays Joe's foil, Tony, who has been sabotaging Joe's work for months in order to impress the boss (Cedric "The Entertainer" Kyles) and become the company's star process server.

Enjoyable middle of the road American comedy, if you're willing to give it a chance4
I enjoyed this undemanding middle of the road comedy. I also liked the much reviled Whole Nine/Ten Yards.

It's well enough made and the cast is likeable. I think a lot of the stuff that annoyed other people didn't bother me. Also it's strange to see one of the Soprano cast members playing an idiot.

I'm not saying it's good. I'm just saying that although it's obviously not technically good, my own inner critic really enjoyed it and I plan to watch it many more times in the future. I must admit I'm talking from the point of view of someone who likes the Police Academy movies and 80's comedies like The Couch Trip.

Panning this film isn't enough1
The script is shallow and the acting so wooden I got a splinter watching it. The funniest thing is seeing them all talking about it in the extras as if it was something of substance. Really, did no one stop at any stage and say 'guys, this is really, really bad.' Pretty faces is not enough.

matthew perry is hot2
this film was really panned by everybody, but after watching it with my boyfriend even he actually enjoyed it! its a entertaining film to watch if youre a perry fan and are in a mood where you dont want to think too much. claire sweetland
