In a world of the puerile, this is puerility to the max. Undoubtedly we're going to find that some people like it, for some it may even raise a titter or two -- or three, but you'll have to see it to get that last pseudo-joke. Penguin-lovers may like it because there is some respite from the banal in the form of various gentoo ridden cuties vying for the Cute Trophy with Jessica Alba, playing a zookeeper who works with her stoned brother. In what seems a blatant copy of Malin Akerman's klutziness in The Heartbreak Kid, Alba's character's equally prone to pratfalls and causing minor accidents. Boob obsessives will like it because one of the running characters is so mammary mad he's become a plastic surgeon - that's a DOCTOR, a HEALER folks, med school, Hippocratic oath, and the rest - just to be surrounded by tits. And, just to seal the deal, this lardy-ass shlub's philosophy is that every woman just wants to get married, so guys should lie in order to get laid. And they wonder why some of us feel a sense of 1950s deja vu. The premise of the film, like the skimpiest of bikinis, has barely enough material to cover the fact that this is soft porn disguised as a plot: dentist Dane Cook finds that ever since a teenie-bopper Goth girl put a hex on him when they were playing spin-the-bottle, he's unable to sustain a relationship, yet the women inevitably go on to marry the first guy they date after Chuck. Or, to be accurate, Charlie, because no one ever calls him Chuck. Up chuck more like! I guess someone might have made a decent comedy out of such a premise, but this ain't it. Some of the people involved in this movie have talent, though what comes over strongest is a collective case of arrested development. Officer, arrest these developments!
