I liked the movie. On the other hand, it was pretty painful to watch.
To explain. The comic effect of the film is based on many situations where the characters find themselves having to say, declare, profess something that must feel important to the other person(s), right now, right this moment. They take a deep breath... and fail miserably. I was moaning and closing my eyes time after time.
The characters are recent US college grads and therefore clueless. They do not have to appealing to be funny. Ben Stiller did a good job acting and directing, and "There's Something about Mary" was still to follow...
