Q: Is this movie worth the price of admission?
A:
Proceed with Caution. There are a lot of "cute" moments, but they are surrounded by lines that are too cheesy or plot points that are too unbelievable, so you never buy into the premise completely.Q: Will this movie make me laugh?
A: Aside from a few shots of unnecessary nudity, you can't help but wonder why they decided to make this cutesy rom-com rated "R." That said, the few truly funny jokes do fit into the "R" category, they just don't fit into the rest of the script.
Q: Will this movie make me cry?
A: In regards to this, my number is zero.
Q: Will this movie be up for any awards?
A: In this category it will also remain a virgin.
Q: How is the Acting?
A: Anna Faris is at her best when she gets to do really broad, over the top comedy. She doesn't get to do a lot of that here.
Q: How is the Directing?
A: Anna Faris doesn't look pretty in 90% of the film. Rather than blame the fact that she's not aging well, I'm gonna blame the director for not looking out. But only because there were so many other things that bugged me about his work, like rack focus shots that forgot to rack, and other such instances of random blurriness.
Q: How is the story/script?
A: The two writers Gabrielle Allan & Jennifer Crittenden come from the very top of TV... Jennifer Crittenden has written for Arrested Development, The Simpsons, and Seinfeld (to name a few impressive shows), and Gabrielle Allan is a name I'm familiar with because, not only did she write for Scrubs, but she wrote pretty much every episode that was good enough to get me to look up who the writer was for that episode... But somehow, in this case, their talent doesn't translate all that strongly to film.
Q: Where can I see the trailer?
A: What's Your Number? Trailer

Hmmmnnn, I wanted to see it (love the two leads) but Obama was nearby the night of my screening and I didn't want to risk getting in a traffic jam...
You summation tells me I didn't miss much.
You didn't mention Evans -- I guess he didn't redeem the movie at all?!
Evans is cute, but he plays a womanizer and you never really buy that his character would turn around for this woman. It's unexplained, unjustified, and in the end you half think that he might still womanize her.
