Title: by the numbers
Product review: This film has all the typical elements of its genre, which I won't list here, and as such felt formulaic. I do have to at least say that the nerdy roommate thing is so old and tired, it creaks, and the thing with the animals was totally unnecessary and irrelevant-- just something to keep the guys awake, I guess. What annoyed the heck out of me: Matthew McConnaghey's teeth are so preternaturally white that their blinding chalkiness distracted me every time he opened his mouth. I can't understand why everyone interviewed in the special features kept talking about him as if he is the most irrefutably gorgeous thing they've ever laid eyes on, when he's about as truly humanly sexy as a Ken doll. What I enjoyed: This was partly filmed on Maryland's Eastern Shore, in a town (and a particular restaurant) that I am familiar with, so that was fun to see.
