Let's be real: this movie was barely worth watching in 2005, and it hasn't improved with age. The critics gave it a 43% for a reason—it's formulaic, the humor is tired, and the premise (guy becomes a womanizer after rejection, then realizes his high school crush was perfect all along) is about as emotionally sophisticated as a grocery store greeting card.

The 71% audience score suggests some people found it entertaining enough, but that 2.6 on Letterboxd tells you what film people actually think. It's got sexual content and crude humor that make it inappropriate for younger teens, and frankly, older teens have better options.

If your 16-year-old wants to watch this because they're on a Ryan Reynolds kick, fine—but don't expect any meaningful conversations afterward. This is the definition of forgettable entertainment, and in 2025, there are simply better ways to spend 90 minutes.
