IMDB

Steve Martin is a recently dumped man. He meets fellow recently dumped man Warren played by Charles Grodin (of Beethoven fame). They become friends and Warren teaches Martin how to manage being a lonely guy.
This movie is okay. It's got a few funny bits here and there, but feels a little flat overall. Maybe I was expecting more from the Neil Simon/Steve Martin combination. I was hoping for a Murder by Death or Cheap Detective, but I got a mildly funny light comedy instead. Still, this movie was better than average.

6/10

I agree. I kept expecting so much from this movie, but it just never really got there. However, how can you not love Steve Martin and how can you not want to watch something he's in. Even 'Novocaine' is good if you ask me, and i HATE laura dern.

Rating Scale Explanation

The rating scale is simple. 1 is the worst 10 is the best and 5 is mediocre. 5.5 or greater is a movie that I at least find enjoyable. You could also think of 5 as a zero and 1 as a negative 5. I feel like that sounds even more convoluted.
