Say It Isn't So (2001)

I am not sure how I missed this movie from the early 2000's, especially since Chris Klein is in it and I love him in the American Pie movies. This movie is a silly/dumb comedy ,but really had me laughing. It reminds me of Joe Dirt. Overall good acting and many laughs from me. I am not sure how it has such a low score. Good soundtrack in it too!There are many goofy and predictable parts in this movie, but fits in very well with comedies from the 2000's. I am a 30-year-old female, so I feel as if this movie can be a good choice for a variety of ages and male or female. If you are looking for a light hearted, slightly inappropriate comedy , than look no further and give this one a chance. It's a must see and deserves a higher score.

On the board posts, there's somebody who nicely summed it up the way I've titled my entry. I absolutely loved Heather Graham in COMMITTED and feel that this movie is just way, way below her dignity, why did she bother? Gross-out gags a la American PIE which doesn't further the script but just makes the movie a jumbled mess. And they're unfunny. Another entry on the board posts says 'embarrassed to be watching this movie alone' and yeah, I know exactly what you mean. I wouldn't say I'm proud of my choice. I bought the movie as part of a bundle promotion, select any 5 at a giveaway price, and scrolled down a list of about 900. Had never heard of this one before, though I have done considerable research on Heather Graham on both IMDb and Wikipedia, but I suppose the bland title made me skip on further investigation.Now don't get me wrong. I got good value for my (little) money. Nice Heather (and to all you Americans out there, Graham is pronounced Greym, not Gramn ****sakes!) and very nice leggy goddess picture of her on the back of the box, but this movie needs a bit more of a disciplined approach, like toss out the ****awful gross-out gags immediately, dump them, set fire to them, pretend they never existed!

I'm not politically correct when it comes to my comedy and I believe that almost anything can be funny, so long as it is done right. Case in point: The Farrelly Brothers, who have achieved massive success with a string of bad-taste movies about, amongst other things, Siamese twins, split personality, and extreme obesity.But Say It Isn't So isn't written by the Farellys (only 'produced by')—and it isn't funny.Chris Klein (whose movie career is surely on its last legs) plays Gilbert, a loser who falls in love with beautiful hairdresser Jo (Heather Graham), only to find out that she is his sister.Incest. Yes, I do believe incest has the potential to be funny. But not in the hands of writers Peter Gaulke and Gerry Swallow or director James B. Rogers, who deliver a laugh-free train-wreck of a film that almost hurts to watch.I say 'almost', because, being a red-blooded male, the sight of the delectable Ms. Graham eases the pain. Heather can always be relied upon to make a film bearable, simply by being Heather. And this is the film's only saving grace.

Nothing new we haven't seen yet, was the first thought that went through my head after seeing it. No big laughters nor extremely original parts that would have made me to put my thumb up and to say: "how do they come up with that stuff." No very clearly portrayed irony over anyone neither, just few average cow-rear jokes that wont change the world in any way anymore. Mass production made on a conveyor line, it can be described most accurately.Hollywood-America-MEDC loves this stuff. Am I not right? Heather Graham who hasn't ever shined with the picking of well made scripts to play in, just got to wrote in another 6 digit money. But surely "The world" needs this kind of stuff. Regrets from me. 3 out of 10
