    A mildly entertaining film about a guy who loses everything, a job and a beautiful girl, in just one day.

    Brings nothing new to the genre and in the end it just delivers twists after twists that it drowns in its own ingenuity.

    The acting is pretty average but Steve Zahn is always annoyingly funny to look at.

    If you're waiting for another 'Falling Down' prepare to be disappointed. This is more like 'Wild Things' without the hot lesbian chicks...

    At first I thought I will have something to learn from this movie, it ends up sucks!!

    It's about a character who gets very unlucky throughout his day. Perhaps they should amend the film's name into a more appropriate one?

    It is similar to Fun with Dick and Jane, however the latter was nicer in the sense that at least it isn't boring and very funny, you know...

    Next time I just shouldn't watch any movie before research.

    Oh, wait I've seen this one. Everybody robs the same stupid bank they work at. See it on tv if you can and want to exhaust two hours.

    This was definitely better then the other movie with the same title that had Jessica Simpson in it. A totally different movie but way better. The acting was done well. Steve Zahn was his usual funny self. A cool storyline that got really cool at the end of the movie. The end of the movie is what makes this film what it is. The movie isn't anything wow, but definitely worth seeing.

    First I expected the movie to be like Michael Douglas`s Falling down but in a comic way but it turned to be like Wild Things (which is one of my favourites) .The narration was so funny by Matt Dillion and Steve Zahn`s role was just great.

    Not to be mistaken with the 2006 movie with the same title which has ditzy Jessica Simpson in it.
    I've always enjoyed a movie with a lot of twists & turns along with multiple plots in 'em. A great black comedy in its own right.
    Do watch out for the scene where Steve Zahn explains the science of sex to Matt Dillon & where he faced off with a gay friend. Real good stuff! I couldn't stop cracking up.
    Really a gem for movie junkies like myself. Not to be missed.

    A ok 'drama'comedy, never real funny but entertaining nonetheless. The name of the movie is bad, not because it will get confused with the 2006 movie with the same name, but that it really has nothing to do with that title.

    This movie would have been rubbish if not for Steve Zahn, who did a lot to save it from itself. It was fairly staright forward and enjoyable for most of the way, but then it started taking a turn for the worse near the end, then another, and then another. It was trying like hell to be Wild Things near the end, which put me off. This was so promising. I wish they hadn't fired the screenwriter before the end. Or made it seem that way.

    who understood the twist in the movie. the beginning was the middle, the midllle was the biginning and the end was the middle, beginning and end. watch the movie and you will find the twist.

    If you like any of the cast, dark humour, good acting, a plot with twists and turns, then this is a little gem you should try out.

    This is not what i expected! To many things to catch and my tired brain was not in the mood to do so! lol
    I thought that being Matt Dillon and Steve Zahn two of the main characters the film would be much different.
    :(
    Conclussion: Dissapointed!

    I was surprised what this movie turned out to be. I watched it because the cover made me take notice and it has Steve Zahn in it, his characters are usually good. Has some nice quotes in it too; a nice little movie even if the ending is a little cliched.

    I can't believe there are two movies with the same name. I have to explain to people my fav movie is employee of the month but not the one with Jessica Simpson and they say, "There's another one?" GRRR

    The dumbest movie I've ever seen. Not to say it's bad. For better or worse, it's the hardest I've ever laughed at a movie's absurdity.

    Not very realistic...(that's the most biased "star system" I've ever seen) but rather sweet, nonetheless. I loved the bit when

    This movie was good up until the ending. The characters are fun, but it all becomes a little over the top in the end.

    Interesting movie...there were a lot of unexpected twists in it, much like the movie Wild Things, and it was especially interesting to note that Matt Dillon starred in both, and in both movies was something other than what he first appeared. Unfortunately the sexual content and language was too much and over the top, so this movie didn't reach it's full potential.

    I thought this was really good. Steve Zahn is funny through out. A bunch of twists at the end. Good movie.
