How Do You Know

Reese Witherspoon, Paul Rudd, Owen Wilson, Jack Nicholson

Directed by James L. Brooks

Rating: 2 stars

When Lisa (Reese Witherspoon) gets cut from the USA softball team, she finds herself stuck not knowing what to do with her life. She goes on a date with Matty (Owen Wilson), a naive pro baseball player. George (Paul Rudd) is being blamed with some bad news from his company and doesn't hit it off so well when he is set up on a date with Lisa. Yet, George really likes Lisa. Lisa must figure out which guy she wants.

How Do You Know is two hours of my life I will never get back. Judging from the preview, you know it's going to be an okay movie. What I didn't know was that it would be a terrible movie. Reese Witherspoon's character is annoying and (for lack of a better word) dumb. This was a terrible role for her to be cast in. Same goes for Paul Rudd and Owen Wilson! Paul Rudd plays this corporate guy who is just as annoying while Owen Wilson plays a professional baseball player who sleeps around and has the common sense of a two-year-old. The only reason I rated this movie two stars instead of one is because this movie probably appeals to some people out there. Honestly, this movie should never have been made. Usually I'd recommend movies to people who like the cast but honestly, if you are a fan of any of the cast in this movie, you will find yourself wondering the same thing as me; how could a movie be so horrible? Save yourself two hours and watch something else.
