How did I not know?

How do you know is a terrible movie. No wonder this movie bombed. What I can't believe is that IMDB is reporting that movie cost $120,000,000. Someone got a big payday. This is a movie that I actually wanted to see based on the posters and cast involved.

First off, the plot is rediculous. The whole movie looks like it was made on a soundstage, the scenes looked airbrushed in a way.

From looking at the cast involved and the director, one would think that there is something here. Not so.

Reese Witherspoon is good. I never liked Witherspoon when she was younger but she is damn hot now. Seeing her in a bra was hot!

Paul Rudd had nothing to work with. Owen Wilson is playing the same person again and Jack Nicholson, well, let me just say, here is a 3 time Oscar winner and twice he has won the Oscar in a movie directed by the director of this movie. It How Do You Know he looks like a swollen, sad, slimmy, fat old man. He looks bad.

How Do You Know is perhaps the biggest waste of time this year. The movie leads nowhere, has no chemistry between the stars and to see Nicholson in this role is sadly depressing.

35mm: ****
Sound: 1/2
