The movie centers on a romantically challenged morning show producer who's made to run a gauntlet of romantic exploits by a pig-headed morning-show host as a way to prove whose romantic methods are more accurate. His clever ploys, however, lead to an unexpected result.
I think it's safe to say that the concerns about sexism in cinema that Heigl voiced so ardently after her career-making turn in Knocked Up have ebbed in direct proportion to the increases in her subsequent paychecks.

[It] attempts to be hip and edgy by featuring plenty of discussions about boy parts and girl parts and how they become friends with one another. However, the makers of this film clearly have no idea about how men and women actually interact.
