A Good Romantic Comedy
28 August 2003
There's nothing new to be found in BUYING THE COW, but it is a rather enjoyable little romantic comedy, even with the formulaic and predictable plot. Ryan Reynolds has the movie's best role as the leading man's best friend, a player who starts to believe he's gay when he wakes up in a man's apartment. Although the whole thing can be seen as rather anti-gay, it's still rather funny.

BUYING THE COW stars Jerry O'Connell in the leading man role, and he's less interesting then those around him. Jerry's character is attempting to find his soulmate, and sees a mysterious woman who keeps appearing in his life, only to disappear mysteriously, as the ultimate catch.

Not at all bad. Mildly funny, but not offensive. Good enough for a day with nothing to do.
