This movie is great!..... and that ain't just the liquor talking.....

Warning: Spoilers
Crazy chick 'Sarah' (Charlize Theron) likes to 'help' one idiot guy a month.

The dumbbell for November is 'Nelson' (Keanu Reaves), a shallow advertising executive who has just lost his job and his girlfriend. After a small eternity of banter between these two losers: "Let me help you!"/"Get away from me!", Nelson gives in and wastes time with Sarah for 4 weeks he will never get back while the audience sits through this grueling torture for 2 solid hours which they will never get back.

Somewhere along the way, Nelson has (surprise!) fallen in love with Sarah. He professes his devotion by climbing up the fire escape and crashing Sarah's dinner party to deliver 12(!) clumsy presents including live birds and lit candles and the film still doesn't have a happy ending.

Incredulous storyline isn't bad for laughs if you've got enough Bacardi.
