Review of Buying the Cow (2002) by Kerry M — 27 May 2008
Good cast. Bad film. I checked this one out because I love Ryan Reynolds and Jerry O Connell's role in Tomcats is one of my favorites. I figured that the two together had to be a blast. Unfortunately, not great.
The movie had lots of names though. Alyssa Milano, Bridgette Wilson, Bill Bellamy, Ron Livingston, to name a few more. It was mildly funny but mostly not and the plot was okay but not powerful really.
The climax and the imbalance was dumb and this movie introduces America to the biggest fucking coincidence ever to be released in the movies. A girl who he SEES on vacation ten years ago in the Bahamas just so happens to be engaged to his decent standing friend, even though the guy lives in LA and his friend lives in NY and the girl lives in CT.
The guy sees this new girl that he likes in LA who turns out to have had a major crush on him for the last ten years because she was the little sister who is originally from CT but is randomly in LA when the guy sees her.
At the wedding for the first girl and the NY friend, the LA guy is introduced to the sister and they get together. Biggest coincidence ever. Unreal.
