Not as dirty as the title implies, this 1999 Matthew Perry romantic comedy is the typical boy wants girl who is already taken story. The big twist is that the boy -- Oscar Novak (Perry) -- falls in love with the mistress, Amy (Neve Campbell), of his potential boss Charles (Dylan McDermott). Also, somehow Charles and Amy get the idea that Oscar is gay, so he has to play along in order for Charles to pick his start-up architectural firm for a large project resdesigning a Chicago cultural center.
There was one supremely strange part in this movie. In one scene, Oscar and Amy have just had dinner at a sketchy restaurant after some taxi disaster. They both had the tuna melt. They both puke. After standing up from the puke scene, they didn't even wipe off their mouths, and they both looked just fine. The unnatural puking unnerved me more than anything else in this movie.
The good: I love a sweet little romantic comedy, and the gay part was a fun twist. Matthew Perry is funny and cute (go Chandler!), and I like Neve Campbell. There are quotable lines, but leave it to me to not remember any of them. There are also some funny scenes involving football, which is always a plus.
The Bad: I'm trying hard to think of something bad. I honestly really liked this movie. The only bad thing is that many guys probably wouldn't enjoy sitting through this -- it's not the best date chick-flick kind of movie, because it doesn't have too much to appeal to a "manly man." But if you don't mind being sensitive for your girl (or if you like Matthew Perry), it's just fine.
Overall: Great! I'm glad my friend suggested the movie. Honestly, the worst part of the movie was the vodka filled chocolate she made me try to remind me how much I hate vodka (but she was redemed by the raspberry chocolate and the Irish Creme chocolate).
Rating: 9/10
