Synopsis:

 

A newlywed man who believes he's just gotten hitched to the perfect woman encounters another lady on his honeymoon.

 

The Freak's Rating: C- : Without a few solid gold (yet wildly inappropriate) lines from Jerry Stiller to his son here, and a fantastic performance by Rob Corddry, this is a typical romantic comedy flop, with a little too much emphasis on a painful breakup/marriage. This film reminds me a little of My Best Friend's Wedding, where one of the protagonists is so selfish that the humor of the film is lost in their cruelty. Don't get me wrong, this chick is insanely annoying, but there is too much rudeness oozing from Stiller's character to allow you to honestly give a crap whether or not he finds Ms. Right at all. Top that off with an extremely predictable plot and you have a film that, as mentioned - without Corddry, is a failure.
