Buying The Cow (2002) 8/10

Starring : Jerry O’Connell, Bridgette Wilson, Ryan Reynolds, Bill Bellamy, Ron Livingstone, Alyssa Milano
Director : Walter Becker
Running Time : 83 mins

David Collins (O’Connell) is terrified of commitment, so even though he’s been dating his girlfriend Sarah (Wilson) for four years he doesn’t plan on marrying her, so when his friend Tyler (Livingston) announces that he is getting married to a woman he’s just met, Sarah sees David’s reaction and decides they need time apart to decide what they want from their relationship. That’s when David’s friends Mike (Reynolds) and Jonesy (Bellamy) step in.

This was a great tongue in cheek gross out comedy, although some of the jokes were a little close to the bone, and I’m sure that a lot of people would be very offended by much of the content. Despite that I thought this movie was actually quite enjoyable and very watchable, with some great set pieces for both the main cast and the supporting cast alike, although in my opinion Bellamy was under used.
