A woman (Faris) embarks on a quest to find the best "ex" of her life when she reads a magazine article warning that people who have had 20 or more relationships have missed their chance at true love and she realizes she's already hit that number.
Faris is an attractive actress who used to be known as the "scream queen" for her roles in thrillers. Here she's trying to move to light comedy, a genre she clearly has the talent for. In this case, however, she's so severely limited by a poor quality script there's not much she can do to salvage the film. Her character is all over the place, from sweet and talented to completely ditsy. Consequently, you never get a feel for the character and never care what happens to her. The script is clearly oriented to a very young crowd with it's constant sexual comments but many of them will be unable to attend due to the clearly deserved R rating. There are occasional funny moments, but not enough to make it worth your while.
Screen size and sound quality are inconsequential. There are no extra scenes once the credity start. Theatres/Times.
