God, what a horrible movie. This is one of those "comedies" that I don't understand. It's about stupid people doing stupid things and that's apparently supposed to be funny. Math was never my strongest suit but that just doesn't add up.
Reuben (Ben Stiller) marries Lisa (Debra Messing) but she cheats on him with a scuba instructor (Hank Azaria) the first day of their honeymoon. He immediately writes off their entire relationship and starts looking for a new love. He meets Polly (Jennifer Anniston) a commitment-phobe with a blind ferret and instantly starts nesting. Never mind the fact that he's still legally married. Never mind the fact that Polly's lifestyle literally makes him sick to his stomach. Let's take a look at the logic of taking a rebound and deciding that she's the one you really want to marry.
That's not intervention-worthy at all. This schmuck is so desparate to be married he completely reinvents himself, lying to everyone he knows, and most importantly, lying to himself. He is a poor delusional sap who will eventually implode from trying to keep all the lies going and this is somehow supposed to be funny.
