It's a shame such an eclectic cast are used as background to hear Cusack complain about women! Even Jack Black shines, when he gets a second of screen time to counteract the depressing themes told to camera by an unlikable, egoist!
The soundtrack, although mostly about breaking up, is this film's only redeemable quality...apart from Zoe Kravitz' mum! Although a blink-and-you'll-miss-her presence, Bonny's hairdo alone elevates John's whining!
Using the musical industry's top 10 gimmick, the main character speaks to the camera about his sad life using the demeaning format. Did you want to know the top 10 saddest, most suicidal musicians? How about his top 5 dumpings? Supposedly meant to be humorous, all it exudes is his immaturity and OCD! And we're allegedly feeling sorry that he got dumped because he wanted 3rd base but wasn't allowed!
How women adore this guy after this machist view of dating is beyond me!
Joan Cusack steals the spotlight every time she shows up, and the way she talks to her brother, like a slap in the face, is the only glimpse of Karma in the whole movie! Catherine Zeta-Jones Douglas is wasted as a stuck-up yuppie, and the Moby lookalike hooking up with Big Bang's female nemesis is the only feel good moment in the whole film!
And if you think it has a happy ending, well, you haven't been paying attention to John Cusack's character's diatribe!
