Men Seeking Women (1997)

People are voting emotionally.

Lack of good storyline.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

I was given Men Seeking Women as a birthday gift last year. The movie was not wrapped, so I figured my friend watched it before giving it to me. He didn't, so we began to watch it. I was in a group of about 6 or 7 people. Not one of us could stand to watch it for the whole movie. Slowly but surely my group began to get smaller and smaller. Even the guy who gave it to me couldn't stand to watch it all the way through. We are all big Will Ferrell fans, and the cover looked hilarious, so we were hyped about it. It turned out to be the worst movie I have ever seen. It was not funny at all. Wow, I didn't think it was possible for a movie to suck that badly. I suspect my friend must have been upset with me when he bought it for me, for 3 dollars lol. For some reason I was forced to watch it again today. This time I watched the entire thing. It really was awful. I cannot believe I wasted an hour and a half of my life today and about 40 minutes of my life the first time. Reading through the reviews written by people here made me laugh harder then anything at all in the movie. DO NOT WATCH THIS.... PLEASE FOR YOUR OWN SAKE...

I bought the film because of Will Ferrell's picture on cover. I thought it would be more of a comedy than it really was. But the laughs weren't that plentiful. But the film is a real gem.Three friends looking for meaningful relationships, bite off more than they anticipate. Their motivated by a mutual bet benefiting the one that can achieve a relationship that includes at least 3 months "live together" time.Through their pursuits they learn about life, love and themselves.It's not what you might expect from a Will Ferrell film, but it really is a great film, and a must have DVD.

I don't know what these other reviewers are talking about?! Did they see the same film? I thought Will Ferrell was hilarious in this movie. He steals every scene he's in. Granted, this looks like a low budget movie and is slow in spots, but the acting is really good from almost everybody. This is better than all Ed Burns' movies combined!

Clearly produced with a low budget, this movie made me laugh often enough to warrant the rental. It's a guy premise - but that works for me ! It's interesting to see the big stars of today before they had established their commercialized characters. The seeds are evident and I enjoyed it.
