Review

the usual formula film with the retard from gigli (he was also in national treasure) and the jock in wedding crashers. mcconaughey is a UT fan and not much of an actor either. there is one good performance here by zooey deschanel who plays parker’s roommate. parker plays a woman who dates men who still live at home to their parents’ chagrin. in this instance she is hired by mcconaughey’s parents (bradshaw and bates) in the hopes that his newfound love and self-esteem will get him out of the house. from there on it’s pretty much the same teenage comedy formula you’ve seen before in films like she’s all that, etc. nothing noteworthy here, but it does provide a few laughs.
