Amazon.co.uk Review
Few actresses can play frothy and ditzy as well as Anna Faris, star of the fizzy What's Your Number?. Faris's easy ability to fly along on the wispiest of plot threads, staying likable all the way, is harder than it looks, and Faris's talent makes What's Your Number? a fun, saucy date-night trifle. Faris plays Ally Darling, a woman who's had 20 boyfriends, and makes the mistake of reading a women's magazine article that says that a woman who has had more than 20 lovers has a harder time ultimately marrying. Ally then wonders if one of her "magic 20" might have been The One, and sets about to track them all down. What's Your Number? has a talented cast surrounding Faris, including Blythe Danner as her wedding-obsessed mum, Joel McHale as a former boss (and possible new "number"), and the gorgeous Chris Evans as Colin, Ally's neighbour. Ally and Colin strike up a friendship while she tries to track down her exes, and of course the viewer can see they are perfect for each other long before the script allows them to. Faris and Evans are winning and cunning, and manage to rise above the script that emulates the raunch of Bridesmaids but mostly sidesteps that film's giant heart. But it's not for lack of Faris's trying--she's irresistible, hilarious, and touchingly vulnerable. Her performance in What's Your Number? is a perfect 10. --A.T. Hurley

I went to see this movie on the cinema in October 2011 on my own and was anticipating a good fun romantic comedy especially as it stars Chris Evans who i love. I came out of the cinema with a massive smile on my face as this was a great feel good movie it's very funny Anna Faris is just brilliant and really shows her comedic talents i couldn't recommend this film more highly. A wonderful movie Anna and Chris are great together. 5 stars from me. Fans of rom-coms should definately see this movie it's not one to be missed!

I watch a lot of films and comedy is the genre that I find has so many films that are basically the same idea done over and over again, particularly romantic comedies but I found this one to be something new, a bit different to what I had expected too.
I thought the premise of it was an interesting one and it lead to some hilarious moments.
Basically the central character Ally played by Anna Faris reads an article in a magazine that says women who have dated more than 20 men will have trouble getting a husband, so after reaching the limit she decides to revisit all her past boyfriends to find out if one of them really was 'the one'.
I laughed alot throughout the film and though the story and dialogue were very funny, I think it was Anna Faris that took it to the next level, she really is fantastic in this and along with a top supporting cast which includes Chris Evans they take a good comedy and make it a great one .
I can't believe this is the only review on here, I highly recommend it to anyone who loves a good comedy or just likes films in general, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Fired from her marketing job & dumped by her boyfriend; Ally Darling (Anna Faris - Scary Movie) despondently reads a magazine article about a woman's "number" (the number of partners she has had) and realises that she is getting very close to the magic 21 guys that signals that someone is destined never to find happiness. Determined to make the very next guy her last and to find marital bliss with them, she soon slips up and adds another to the count.
Ally then realises that the only way she can find happiness without going over the arbitrary 21 is to date her ex-boyfriends. She enlists the help of her equally-base neighbour Colin (Chris Evans - Captain America) in this quest who, in turn, uses her apartment to lay low when he wants to get rid of the previous nights conquest. Will they manage to track down all of her ex's and will Ally ever find happiness?
What's your number really is a linear predictable rom-com. From the moment you see the cover, you know it's likely the two main stars are going to become romantically entangled which kind of makes this entire ludicrous premise even more of a rigmarole bearing in mind we can guess the ending from the minute Chris Evans walks in with no shirt on (Ladies, there is an awful lot of Chris Evans in various states of undress). With this said, there are a couple of running jokes throughout the film that really keep the humour going (The guy in apartment 4-D and "disgusting" Don) and Faris & Evans never falter in their portrayal of these two-dimensional roles. It's a well-filmed affair with some great shots of Boston and a decent soundtrack (credit to Director Mark Mylod).
Extra Content: There's approximately 17 minutes of extra footage in the 'Ex'-tended cut included on this disc, a host of deleted scenes (8) & 'flashback' dates & the theatrical trailer is included. There's also a 7 minute gag-reel. Nothing amazing, but some of the date scenes were funny.
So, what's wrong you may ask, why the three stars? Well because this is just SUCH a chick-flick that it follows worn rom-com plot lines and that there isn't a single twist or turn that you won't see coming. Some of the jokes are straight rip-offs from others in the genre (the wake-up & make-up then sneak-back-into-bed bit from Bridesmaids for example). It also portrays women as brainless Marie-Claire convention followers. That if it's printed in a glossy magazine, it must be true. Nobody's acting is weak, you will laugh a couple of times, but you know where this is going from the off.
Recommended for a date-night movie where you really aren't paying too much attention and can drift in and out, but this is certainly no life-changer.

Well made slightly unconventional romcom
This is a difficult film to review as it's good. It's consistently good with no notable wobbles where it gets very good or very bad. It remains on a flat level field of good. Read more

Nice Rom Com
I love a good rom com and this is one of the better ones I have seen recently. The storyline is not too silly and it is enjoyably funny.

Fantastic film
I bought this not really knowing what it would be like, had never heard of it nor the actor/actresses. But I've never laughed so much, it's a really good romantic/rom com. Read more

Silly and lowbrow, yet endearing tosh
This review could be summed up in two words: `Anna' and `Faris.' Need I say more? Yes? Oh, okay then. Read more

How many is too many?
Romantic comedies are difficult to get right. Most of the romcoms that come out of Hollywoodland are boring and predictable. Read more
