It just looks stale and worn out. Not to mention that I can practically smell the attempt this film is making to have it both ways. Rudd is trying very hard to bring some of the edge we've seen from him in stuff like Dinner for Schmucks or Role Models. But the lousy rom-com puff bits are just nauseating. Don't even get me started on just how unappealing I find Owen Wilson in pretty much everything. He was good in Anaconda as a delicious snake treat. Jack Nicholson could be the one thing that makes this worth a looksie.
The story is basically a love triangle between a professional softball player(Witherspoon), a corporate executive(Rudd), and a majore league pitcher. My first thought? Witherspoon isn't nearly stout enough to be a pro softball player. Have you seen those chicks? 175lb women crammed into 150lb packaging.
How Do You Know will be released on December 17th, 2010. Check out the trailer below.
