What’s Your Number

Movie: What’s Your Number

Genre: romantic comedy

Synopsis: Ally Darling (Anna Faris) is having a crisis.  She reads a magazine article that convinces her she has slept with too many men.  She decides that the next guy she sleeps with will have to be “the one”.  So, she starts looking up old hook-ups to re-evaluate their possibilities.  Meantime, he sister (Ari Graynor) is getting married and their mother (Blythe Danner) is putting relentless pressure on her to find the right man (which in her eyes means rich).  Countering the maternal pressure is Colin (Chris Evans).  Colin lives across the hall in Ally’s apartment and is the king of the one night stands.

My two cents: I found this movie to be very entertaining.  Anna Faris is always fun to watch.   There are a lot of laughs.  While parts of the plot were a bit predicable, it did not spoil the movie.  If you are looking for a light romantic comedy that has laughs but manages to avoid any unduly gross scenes – this should fit the bill.  Ed Begley Jr. was also great as Ally’s father – divorced from her mother and as different from her mother as night and day.
