This is a continuance of the trend in movies where girls are just as obnoxious as boys, but not as entertaining.Lauren (Lauren Miller) gets dumped by her boyfriend for being boring. Her gay bestie (Justin Long) tells her he has just the solution. His friend Katie (Ari Graynor) needs a roommate in order to keep her fantastic Gramercy Park apartment. Except Lauren and Katie have always hated one another after a regrettable incident after a party in college. Still, the opposites figure out a way to cohabit until Lauren loses her job. Then she discovers that Katie has been making ends meet by operating a phone sex hotline. Lauren uses her business acumen to set up their own line and the two get down to getting dudes off.
There are some great cameos by Seth Rogen and Kevin Smith but, overall, this movie completely underwhelmed me. I didn't care for either of the two leads and the story was very by-the-numbers. Justin Long was funny but he's basically playing the same character he's played before, so that's nothing new.
Christy enjoyed it for what it was, a mildly diverting time, but I was disappointed by it's willingness to just scrape by.
