Chris Koch directs Jason Lee, Julia Stiles and Selma Blair in this gross out romantic comedy about a soon to be wed groom who keeps bumping into the girl he might have slept with on his stag do. 

Clearly aiming for a There’s Something About Mary vibe but the gags aren’t there, the charms isn’t there and the heart is no where to be seen. You end up with lots of weak characters behaving like no one in reality ever would and extraneous side plots that reach for wacky but can’t grasp onto anything tangible. When film historians ask why the brilliant Jason Lee wasn’t an A-list star, the answer will be misguided breakout vehicles like this.
