“This is a romantic comedy movie. It revolves around three friends that fell in love with this pretty lady and the situations it created when they tried to one-up each other to get her attention.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe acting was not bad, given the ludicrous situations. But the leading lady was horrible. From my perspective, she wasnu0026#39;t even all that attractive either. But it could be due to the 80u0026#39;s style clothing, hair, and make-up.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eStory had a pretty good setup in the beginning, some funny moments, and looked promising. But once all the setup jokes were done, and switched to u0026quot;story resolutionu0026quot; mode, it became really boring. On top of that, the way the story was resolved was very contrived and not believable, and they went out of their way to wrap up with a goody goody happy ending that was just very forced.”
