What's Your Number? (Ex-tended Edition) [Blu-ray/DVD Combo+Digital Copy]

Review about the "EX"-tended edition and other extras
I went through a few of the reviews here trying to find something about the extended edition blu-ray but they are mostly about the movie itself (I was surprised to see so many hateful reviews too since the romantic comedy genre usually has a loyal following and no one else cares much for it, or at least I thought so) I assume if you just want to watch the movie, you can read the other reviews, but if you already watched it and are thinking about buying the Blu-ray extended edition then this review is for you ;)I'm not a fan of romantic comedies but I gave this one a shot when it was playing on cable the other night, mainly because I really like Anna Farris, and Chris Evans is not hard to look at (and I was also surprised to see him in this kind of film... Captain America and all). As it turns out I really liked it. Its humor is right up my alley and I really had to laugh in my couch's pillows to not wake everyone up at my house when I was watching it (yes, some parts were THAT funny to me)I went ahead and bought the blu-ray because I knew I could watch this movie over and over, but especially I wanted to see the extended edition because there were some spots here and there where editing definitely left a void in the plot (in my opinion) so I was very interested to see more flash-backs and more comedy.I was dissapointed on this extra material for the most part. With the exception of a couple of good flash backs, one "Deep-down-Collin-is-a-sweet-guy" scene, the explanation of how Ally's bridesmaid dress goes from a one-shoulder fru-fru to strapless at the end of the movie, and a few other fillers that I really liked; the included extra footage in some scenes of the extended version makes Ally go from cute-clompsy girl to plain idiot (I don't think anyone would want to relate to a girl like that).The gag reel was extremely short for a comedy, I was expecting waaaaaay more laughs and mess-ups, but it was cute to see people from the cast and crew answering the "what's your number?" question.I predict I'll watch this movie whenever a rainy day comes around but I think I'll stick with the theatrical version.

Watched it twice ...
... Which is not what I would expect to do for a rom com.Chris Evans and Anna Faris are adorable together. The movie has all the elements of its genre - implausible situation, funny dialogue with some great visuals as well, mostly light-hearted story-telling, and a happy ending. There's even the time-honored parallel romance of a secondary couple. The activities by which the protagonist couple bonded were a little off the beaten track, which I really enjoyed. Best of all, the script and the performances showed, with a light and deft touch, the moments that, bit by bit, built a truly believable and meaningful relationship between the two protagonists.Here, then, is why I enjoyed a second viewing and, though I originally only rented it, am now quite tempted to shell out the extra money to purchase. This movie works perfectly as a feel-good rom-com, but it is not fluff. Abusive family dynamics, performative femininity, double standards, the uneasy truce between friendship and flat out internecine warfare among girls and women when they form groups, predatory men and date rape - these are all touched on in Allie's odyssey, offered for thought if one wishes, but never pushed to the fore so stridently that a viewer can't skim over it if they prefer. There are no windy speeches, and yet, small comments, the wedding toasts, and final professions are deep enough to form a lump in the throat. I think Chris Evans is underrated as an actor, perhaps because he is so attractive. Anna Faris was brilliant, and the supporting cast made every moment of the movie believable and fun. Special kudos to Ari Graynor who was a great younger sister to Anna's Allie. These two actresses' sister chemistry really sparked.

Chris Evans. Naked.
If you are wondering why you should see this movie, see the title. The movie played to its strengths and showed Chris Evans sans clothing numerous times, with very little shielding you from his more... important bits. Have you seen those abs? Combined with that face? HELLO.I'm sorry, was I reviewing a movie? I got a little lost there.A lot of the reviews I read were criticizing What's Your Number for being predictable, which confused me. It's a romantic comedy. Were you expecting Shakespeare? When I settle down for a rom com, I'm not looking to be shocked by the plot. I'm looking to laugh, root for the main characters, want the main characters to get together, drool over the male lead (and drool I definitely did, have you noticed?) as well as identify with the female one. I was able to do all of that, therefore I walked out of the movie theater content and pleased. I have recommended this movie to others and was very, very happy with it, going by that criteria. When I watch a rom com, I'm not looking to have my life changed, I just want to forget about everything for an hour and whatever minutes.On that note, Chris Evans and Anna Faris were adorable together and did help me forget life for awhile. Faris was, for me, super relatable and flawless. The two had excellent chemistry and carried what could have been a better script. I have bought this movie and plan on squirreling it away for rainy days when I just want to curl up in bed and eat chocolate and appreciate the male form in all its wonder.Have I mentioned I really like Chris Evans? And his body/face combo? I might be a little biased. I'll stop gushing and go now.

Bella commedia romantica!
Certo che non ci troviamo di fronte ad un capolavoro, ma da tempo le commedie romantiche made in USA non sono più un granchè, meglio quelle targate GB. Ed infatti ho recuperato questo film del 2011, (S)EX LIST, che a me e a mia moglie è piaciuto moltissimo. Tra l'altro ritroviamo molti volti noti, come la protagonista Anna Faris, Chris Evans, Zachary Quinto e Chris Pratt. Da vedere!

disc plays fine but case was damaged ...
this dvd was one of two delivered together, the other whose case was likewise damaged (and advised earlier) but it was only when i opened the case to access this disc for playing that the broken case was obvious - the damage is to the rear (the disc-clipping slide/flap) part and along the bottom edge for over a quarter of its length ... as with the other product, the case needs to be replaced ... out of all the dvd products from Amazon.AU, these are the only ones which has been supplied with damaged cases.
