What is your number movie

Its fortunes did not improve from there, neither at the domestic box office nor in the minds of cinema scholars. Number is far less beloved than the revealing magazine article it inspired. The movie itself is, in fact, premised on a magazine article, though nothing so lofty as a New Yorker profile. Ally Darling Faris , an unlucky-in-love and recently fired single woman, is feeling low when she reads a Marie Claire piece claiming that statistically, women who have slept with more than 20 men are unlikely to get married.

Hovering around the big two-zero herself, Ally really leans into the high-concept lifestyle and takes it upon herself to track down past exes and see if any of them have evolved into husband material. Full review. Hollywood Reporter Mild vulgarity and discreet nudity garner the sought-after R rating, but this effort feels forced. Empire Magazine Two charming leads don't make up for a comedy that just doesn't quite deliver the laughs it should.

After breaking up with her boyfriend and losing her job, Ally Darling Anna Faris reads a Marie Claire article that changes her life. Ally is convinced that if she sleeps with more than 20 men she's currently at 19 , she'll never find the man of her life, so she decides to track down her 19 former lovers to see if they've changed enough to rekindle a romance.

To aid in the man-hunting, Ally strikes a deal with her handsome lothario neighbor, Colin Chris Evans , the kind of womanizer who prefers to love 'em and leave 'em after a one-night stand.

In exchange for Colin's tracking abilities, Ally will let him use her place as an escape the mornings after his conquests. As they look for Ally's exes, the neighbors develop a friendship that could be more Faris has natural comedy timing and talent that's deserving of a movie as critically acclaimed as Bridesmaids , but instead she executive produced this star vehicle that's forgettable and crass.

Sure, Bridesmaids is raunchy, but in that Judd Apatow way that means there's a touching story of friendship and love at its core. One of the worst parts of the film is that it wastes the presence of so many great actors as Ally's exes. Andy Samberg , Anthony Mackie , Thomas Lennon , Martin Freeman , Dave Annable , and even Faris' own husband Chris Pratt have unfunny cameos that seem sloppily edited or, in the case of Samberg, exist more in the trailer than in the final cut of the movie.

It would have been preferable for him to be a serial monogamist who was for some reason less experienced than Ally but still accepted her double-digit past.

It's just too predictable -- and easy -- for a player way into the "s" to think nothing about Ally's "20," and the disparity enforces the idea that a guy can be 10 times as promiscuous as a girl and it somehow equals out. Yes, the "I love you just the way you are" is sweet, but it's wrapped in a sadly distasteful comedy that isn't worthy of its stars.

Families can talk about the double standard involved with this movie's premise. Would this movie even work if the protagonist were a man? Why is a woman's "number" more controversial than a man's? Is this a positive message to send young women? How does the movie portray Ally's various relationships? How do they compare to her relationship with Colin? Does the fact that she and Colin are friends before they become romantic make a difference?
