... The answer you give is a fairly reliable indicator of whether or not you will like this film.
After sitting patiently through 105 minutes of this film, I can't believe that its resolution has the audacity to claim that the outmoded initial premise actually MATTERS. It seems as though all I ever hear is that Hollywood is liberal, freethinking, and - according to some harbingers of doom - immoral. Well, certainly not in this case.
... I was expecting the ending to promote the idea that all that matters is finding the right person, and it doesn't matter how many false starts you have to make in order to get to them... but instead, the main relationship is given legitimacy because of a technicality, and she's STILL hung up on the number thing?! Ugh. How juvenile. Who cares how many people you have - or haven't - slept with. Is society as a whole really still that prescriptive?!
Faris and Evans are both likable, but the script does nothing at all to serve the chemistry between them.
