Customer Reviews of Buying the Cow

The move starts out with David (Jerry O'Connell) having his girlfriend Sarah (Bridgette Wilson) leaving him to do a job in New York City. So Dave starts going out to clubs with his friends Mike (Ryan Reynolds) and Jones (Bill Bellamy) to have a little fun and the plot is introduced. Simply put, the plot is to that there is only one other person in the world that can give you true love, or as the movie states, pure truth.

As the movie progresses, the plot thickens when David sees a girl in a local restaurant that gives him that love struck feeling again and moreover, attempts to track her down using dating services that ultimately fail with a crash and burn. In the mean time, Mike figures out that he his actually homosexual. And a little later, David and Sarah break-up in the airport up over things that they do not even know are true or not and David leaves for New York City to see his friend Andrew (Jon Tenney) that is getting married to Julie (Erinn Bartlett) which happens to be the girl that he had an obsession with for a while in his younger years.

Finally, at the wedding, Mike announces that he is a homosexual while Andrew and Julie try to convince David to meet Julie's sister Katie (Scarlett Chorvat) and they end up meeting and live happily ever after.

Overall, I thought this movie was absolutely historical and actually almost had me in tears at times. Ryan Reynolds is historical in this movie. In time, I think that Buying the Cow will become a classic romantic comedy.

Ever escaped out the toilet window?
Well then, this is one for you!

This movie has some extremely hilarious moments .... Ryan Reynolds (you'll know him from Van Wilder) is the absolute "bomb" in this movie .... I won't ruin all the surprises for you, but this is not your usual comedy!

Unfortunately, some of the storyline gets a bit "drowned" (for want of a better word) and at times can move along a little slowly .... however, Jerry O'Connell is as always really good in a comedy and the end result is a pretty darn good movie!

A word of warning though, if you are breaking up or if you have just broken up, you may not want to watch this movie cause it's all about relationships ..... I say this cause I thought this was hilarious, but my friend who has just broken up his relationship (and normally would have enjoyed it) squirmed in his seat in parts of it ....

All in all, a unique storyline that has it's moments and will make you laugh out loud (perhaps to the point where you can't breathe properly ... Ryan Reynolds you are the man)!!

Give this one a go!

Typical, except for Ryan Reynolds
3.5 stars. The Amazon.com movie synopsis above is dead-on here. This is a generic romantic-comedy with typical characters that are predictable and two-dimensional. Except for the character of "Mike" played with impeccable comic timing by Ryan Reynolds. I laughed hysterically at his scenes, nearly in tears at times, while only mildly chuckling at the situations and/or antics of the other characters. His time here is sparkling and is the epitome of comedic professionalism. When you have a supporting role in an otherwise average film, you should make the most of it; and on the strength of his performance alone I can recommend this film. As for the appearance of Alyssa Milano, she looked alluring as usual, but was otherwise just another disposable bimbo-type character that could have been played by thousands of other actresses with breast implants like hers. Not to belittle her talent, but she has no scenes here worth mentioning. As for her acting ability, try watching her television show "Charmed." But for all the raging heterosexuals out there who want to see more of her "talent," you should all buy "Embrace of the Vampire." She is absolutely luscious in that movie. Overall, this film is typical romantic-comedy fare with a dash of comic genius via Ryan Reynolds.
