Alright, I can't believe that I'm reviewing movies right now, especially silly rom-coms, but it seems easier and like more fun that reviewing books. Besides, if I start reviewing even half of what I watch, I'll have hundreds of reviews in short order.

So, this movie is about a woman who reads a magazine article that says if a woman has slept with more than 20 people, it is very unlikely that she'll ever find love and get married. She then counts her own conquests and realizes that she is at 19 (which causes her to get trashed and rack up a perfect 20).

To avoid going over 20, she tracks down all of her past sexual partners to see if there is any chance of making it work with them. Her neighbor happens to be great at digging up dirt and agrees to help her.

That is the basic premise.

Anna Faris is hilarious... amazing comedic timing. Chris Evans is not generally someone that I care about either way, but he looked particularly good in this movie and did a fine job.

I've actually watched this movie at least 10 times. I rewatched it again the other night to keep my mind off an important interview the next day. It's really really funny (more on the 'com' than the 'rom' side of 'rom-com'), and it has enough sweet moments to qualify as a romance without boring me. It's one of my favorites in a genre that I just... don't like that much. It's just all around enjoyable.
