This is one of our favourite films
- to put it in the disgusting and creepy American Pie genre is to grossly understate it. Do watch it - it's about every guy's search for Miss Right.
Appeals to both men and women. My husband loves it

Hidden in the midst of straight-to-video releases, this film is a head and shoulders above the rest, and it boggles my mind that it did not achieve theatrical release.
While the subject matter is somewhat unoriginal (games a man must play to land the perfect woman and the pros and cons of commitment/marriage), the film has a great script that gives these themes a freshness not seen in most romantic comedies.
Perhaps the film's strongest suit is the cast. Ryan Reynolds, Bill Bellamy and Jerry O'Connell work great together, and never once does the witty dialog seem forced or unbelievable. The interaction seems realistic, and most importantly, personal (from the male standpoint, anyway). The film is funny yet smart, giving a variety of perspectives on the subject matter.
The problem I have with this film is that the ending is a bit abrupt (I won't give anything away, but you'll see what I mean). I felt a little more elaboration might have tied things up a bit better. However, don't let this deter you, 'Buying the Cow' is worth seeing.

Why buy a cow when milk is free? This is the dilemma facing David (Jerry O'Connell) whose long-time girlfriend Sarah (Brigette L. Wilson) gives him the ultimatum of marriage or looking for a new relationship. While Sarah is away for a couple of months, and getting the come-on from her new boss, David gathers his friends together and re-enters the singles scene to see if there is a better alternative. Memories of a terrible mistake he made years before come back to haunt him and triggers his search for his ideal woman.
This is a truly hilarious take on the age-old question of why make a commitment when you are already getting all your pleasures without it? This film is way better than many romcoms with plenty of laugh-out-loud moments. It is very much in the American Pie style of comedy with its crude humour but there is subtlety in the inter-related sub plots. Normally, I am not a fan of romcoms but I will definitely be watching this one again.

Brilliant Teen Comedy
Very much in the style of the American Pie movies, Buying the Cow is actually aimed towards men much more than women due to its course humour, sexist dialogue and non-sensentive... Read more
