I really enjoyed this film and laughed out loud in several places. OK, it's not for everyone. If you're offended by the odd crude joke, it's probably not for you. But I found it refreshingly different and very funny. Simon Baker puts in another great performance - if you're a fan you will want to watch this one. He gets a lot of quality screen time, and you get to see a bit more of the Baker body than usual - he's got a really cute bum!

A strange comedy. Written by the same guy who wrote the successful Heathers and the terrible Hudson Hawk, this is a film about a successful businessman, Roderick Blank (Simon Baker) who has it all and who receives an anonymous email with a list of 101 womens' names. He discovers he has slept with the first 29 on the list and the rest are women he will sleep with. He dumps his fiancee and proceeds to seek out the others on the list and do the deed. As an aside, Winona Ryder plays Death Nell who sleeps with random men and puts them into a coma. She is the last on list and when Roderick finds this out, he prepares to meet his fate.
This is sometimes jaw dropping. You will find yourself bursting out laughing despite yourself. It does have a rather cheap quality to the filming and is overly long but the main characters do a good job. If you're only viewing of Simon Baker is as The Mentalist, then prepare to be shocked. However, how Winona Ryder continues to get work is one of life's mysteries.

This quirky and seemingly low-budget rom-com is something a bit different. At first glance it seems like it's going to be the same old date movie about a guy getting old feet before a wedding, but before long it's moved into stranger territory.
There's an uncontrollable machine that predicts parts of the future, and a violent female stalker on the loose seducing men and putting them in a coma. The odd-ness is rolled out slowly throughout the film, which gets sillier and sillier, and also gets a bit more earnest and meaningful, especially towards the end.
Simon Baker won't be winning any Oscars. At the start of the film he acts about as emotionally as a plank of wood. In a way that's the character- he's a guy to whom things happen, not a guy who makes things happen- but still, he takes "understated performance" too far and ends up under-acting. Not a great lead man. Luckily some of the female cast put in great performances, particularly Mindy Cohn as his assistant, Winona Ryder as a psycho and Leslie Bibb as the ice-cold Doctor who may or may not warm to the lead guy's charms.
Unusual and intriguing, but not something you'll watch over and over.

Average
Run of the mill "sexy comedy". Simply a vehicle to indulge Simon Baker's pretty boy image. Vaguely amusing in parts

Sex and Death 101
He should never have made this film! Hated it and turned it off after about half and hour or less! Wouldn't even give it to a charity shop! Read more

Idiotic
I was a bit disappointed with this movie. Really confusing story line, and lots of sex. Simon Baker seemed rather embarrassed at times, but who would have thought he had a body... Read more
