I've been hearing about this film for a while now and last night it was very highly recommended. I'm going to rent it this week but wanted to know what you lot thought about it.

I thought it was fantastic, though I'm not sure I can explain why. On one hand, Donal Logue is a very implausible Casanova, yet the movie struck me as being wonderfully realistic.

I suppose it has a lot to do with the dialogue:

"Do you ever wonder if your love for your spouse interferes with your love for God?"

"Do you ever wonder if your endless philosophizing interferes with you ability to get a life?"

"No, I'm serious. How many people treat God with the same affection they treat their loved ones? How often do people ask God how His day has been, or whether or not he saw Letterman last night?"

"And you do?"

"Absolutely."

"And what did God say?"

"He said he saw it and it sucked."

Yeah, I thought it was really good, but I'm kinda biased because I think Donal Logue's a damn funny guy. There's some discussion about this flick near the end of this old Steve McQueen thread.

I really liked it - everything I want from the independent romantic comedy. Nicely plotted, great little dialogue bits, and enough of a meme thing (The Steve vs. The Stu) to be catchy.

I also liked the "localism" of the locations - it's a very Southwestern movie.

I thought it was a great film except for how it ends. If it ended exactly one scene earlier than it did, it would have been one of my faves....

I've heard about this movie but not seen it. Does it give handy tips for snagging the ladies?

It gives handy tips for snagging *anyone*.

And then sort of explains the problems with snagging people from tips, as well. The tips, though, work. As far as I can tell.
