Tacticalin An absolute waste of money

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Yazmin Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

liquidphotography I think it was the obvious title choice that didn't make this film a block buster. Word of mouth can only go so far. It is a romantic comedy that all ages can relate to. By no means is this a "chick flick" movie though. The movie has a great cast from Ryan Reynolds (Waiting) to Alyssa Milano (Charmed). The movie characters all play significant roles that tie into the theme- "Why would you want to Buy the Cow when you can get the milk for free?" It's a hilarious adventure of a film about dating and the ultimate search for your "soul mate" or the "one". It is the perfect date movie. I found it to be more than hilarious, with actor/comedian Ryan Reynolds stealing the show.For all the Ryan Reynolds fans out there this is hands down the funniest performance of his career. This feel good movie will appeal to all, especially to those romantic single gals and guy's out there. This movie will leave you feeling high on life with a refreshing feeling of hope.This is a definite must see! Excellent!

erik88-1 Watching "Buying the Cow" makes me laugh occasionally and keeps me interested in the characters and what will happen. I keep my eyes on the film the whole way through however I will not expect myself to see it again. The film is about young men which haven't yet found true love. One of them believes he has already found his sole-mate but she got away and his girlfriend wants to get married. Being afraid that he will marry the wrong girl, he doesn't want to marry until he is sure he has found "the right one". His friend on the other hand is a player. He has slept with lots of girls but has yet to discover his true love. During the film there are a couple of twists, although they are not completely unexpected, and you can stop and pick up some laughs along the way. You could even say the film had a deeper message but that would be far fetched. If the film was a meal, it would be something that made me full, satisfied my needs and something I would vaguely remember but I would hardly order it again. A comedy which is has cliché written all over it; yet it is somehow unpredictable, unique and entertaining.

TBJCSKCNRRQTreviews Just when I thought I'd seen the worst teen-oriented romantic comedies... this baby hits me. And when I say hit, I mean like a dropkick to my stomach. You may think you've seen it all, but you haven't seen this... and you should consider yourself lucky. Like Walt Becker's previous directing attempt(which was about as big of a train-wreck as this one), this features Ryan Reynolds and has incredibly poor taste in humor and will disgust just about everyone who watches it, at one point or another. Granted, this isn't as sick or graphic as Van Wilder, but it's every bit as poor. Becker decides that his talentless direction isn't enough to torture us poor viewers, and tried to write the script for this mess. Luckily, he co-wrote it with Peter W. Nelson... who doesn't seem to have written another movie neither before nor since. I don't think I have to tell you just how poorly written the film is, as the direct result of this. The love story is contrived, sappy and unbelievably predictable. The acting is just bad. The characters are never credible, their actions make no conceivable sense and all of them are paper-thin stereotypes. The humor is so painfully obvious and stupid that I can't see anyone finding it funny. The jokes are poorly set up, never funny, and repeated to the point where we're sick of them. There's only one good thing about this movie, and it's Alyssa Milano as a stripper. If you consider that reason enough to see the movie, then be my guest. Lord knows that was the only reason I gave the movie any chance at all. I recommend this to fans of romantic teen comedies and Alyssa Milano. Anyone else shouldn't bother. In fact, if you doubt you would like it, then don't watch it. It's most likely not worth your time. 5/10

Howlin Wolf Every taboo base is covered, from mocking homosexuals to squeezing laughs out of paedophilia. This might not be so bad if we were allowed glimpses of character between the cheap shots, but the whole thing feels stitched together like a bad re-telling of urban legends; the kind of material that would be deemed unfit for even the shoddiest of best man's speeches, never mind an 80 minute motion picture. I suppose there's potential in a comic examination of last minute wedding jitters; but this turkey spends more time fobbing us off with unbelievable scenarios, rather than dirty its hands by tackling something as mature as 'psychology'. You might think you're "Buying the Cow", but you're actually getting a typical dog...
