While visiting his hometown during Christmas, a man comes face-to-face with his old high school crush whom he was best friends with — a woman whose rejection of him turned him into a ferocious womanizer. –IMDb
It's easy to dismiss this movie as simple, basic, whatever. It's an oft-told tale. But the problem with that is that it doesn't recognize the originality in the humor itself. That's where the good stuff is: the musical choices, the jokes, the old-school slapstick. It's a really good movie. You just have to like comedy.
Pretty standard and harmless, but suffers from the inevitable conclusion, obvious characters, and a formula that never wants to become challenging or ambitious.
