This film just...it knows what I like you know? -
Poor Anna Faris, an actress with good comic timing and a naturally likeable onscreen persona, has been saddled with a career way beneath her talents. Either slumming it in terrible spoof movies or tired romantic-comedies at no point has she been given the material to really shine. What’s Your Number? unsurprisingly continues this downward and depressing spiral.
Faris, worried her number of past lovers is too high, decides to hook up with any old flame in order to avoid adding to her number of relationships. Just from the brief synopsis it is easy to see how the film writes itself as she goes through all her past relationships looking for Mr. Right even if he is under her nose the…

The number 2 springs to mind.

Are you a late twenty/early thirties attractive person who spends the majority of your time eating food like tacos, large sandwiches, Chinese food, breakfast sausages, wedding cake, etc, without gaining any weight? Have you just been fired from your boring office job, but are still able to pay for your massive apartment while you build weird sculpture things? Do you sneak into large stadiums so you can play basketball in your underwear with another equally attractive person? If you answered yes to all the above questions, than What's Your Number? is definitely the movie for you.

It should give you a good indication of how desperately I wanted to avoid doing an impending essay that I willingly sat down to watch this with my housemate. It is tripe. It is bollocks. It is barely and badly written, it is not directed, and Anna Faris is really annoying. Chris Evans, however, is dreamy, and the two work well enough together. And I tittered twice. Don't hold it against me.

This is the story of a shallow female d-bag who has dated (slept with) 19 going on 20 male douchebags and realizes that her chance for love may have passed her by. Instead of becoming a better person and growing wise about the kind of guy she allows herself to cozy up to, she decides to revisit all of her exes hoping that maybe one of them will have become better and can be the love of her life. So she enlists the help of her douchebag neighbor (played by a mostly naked Chris Evans) who sleeps with a different woman every night and disappears into Anna Faris' apartment each morning to escape until said nameless woman leaves his place.…

A predictable, but very entertaining raunchy Rom-Com that you can see every turn coming in.
Faris and Evans are great and you have to love the plethora of cameos throughout. -
As far as bad romantic comedies go, you could easily do worse. At least Anna Faris is a legitimately talented leading lady.
-
A decent film but the whole premise is a bit off-putting.

This review reportedly contains spoilers. I can handle the truth.

Alternate title: Are You Kidding Me, Who Wouldn't Just Sleep With Chris Evans In The First Act?
I consider this film to be a huge missed opportunity. The cast is comedically gifted and charming, the concept is silly but potentially fun. I feel like in more capable creative hands, this could've been at least mildly enjoyable. There are very few laughs - very few jokes, it seems at times. So many pratfalls and plot holes and nonsense happenings... and on top of all that, the ending is stupid and negates the whole "lesson" of the movie we just sat through.
I remember reading a profile of Anna Faris when this was released and there being a significant amount written about the studio notes/interference during the making of this movie. I wonder how much of that is to blame. Regardless, I just felt sad for everyone involved after I watched this movie.

Wenn man “Der perfekte Ex” nicht im Kino gesehen hat, hat man nicht wirklich etwas verpasst. Mark Mylods (Ali G Indahouse, The Big White) Film ist die klassische romantische Komödie, die zwar ein etwas schlüpfrigeres Thema aufgreift, dabei aber genauso vorhersehbar und weichgespült bleibt, wie man es von Hollywoodproduktionen aus diesem Genre gewohnt ist. Dass man den Film nicht nach wenigen Minuten abschalten will, verdankt “Der perfekte Ex” dann tatsächlich seinem roten Faden. Die Suche nach Allys Ex-Liebhabern und die Macken der einzelnen Ex-Freunde können tatsächlich für Schmunzler sorgen und die Chemie zwischen Anna Faris und Chris Evans funktioniert in soweit, dass man ihnen die entstehenden Gefühle füreinander abkauft und man eine Leinwandbeziehung ihrer beiden Charaktere gut vorstellen kann.
Insgesamt…

You see Chris Evans pretty much naked. 5 stars. all the way.

5 για τους κοιλιακούς και τα φτερά και τα πάντα του κρίσ έβανσ και για το διαμέρισμα, την πολυκατοικία και τη θεική σκάλα με το τέλειο πλακάκι και το μάρμαρο και την ξύλινη κουπαστή.
Για όλα τάλλα μεχ.
