This is the kind of comedy that can either make you laugh, or just lose you as a viewer. I think it will probably win more, than lose.

First of all, I want to say I liked two things very much: I loved the fact that each time one of the three guys was saying his interpretation of the story, the story itself got a new look. The fact that people are sooo subjective when it comes to discussing love, is just put on screen very nicely.
The second thing I liked was Liv Tyler. She's got that charm, that would really make men go for her. Especially if they are blinded by love. Everyone, from "soft" lawyers, to assassins. I really think that Douglas is in a way the brightest, but in the same way the most stupid of them. Not only does he hear how good that girl can fool around with men, but he still ignores that fact, and even tries to make her want him...though, I believe she would've gone out with him anyway.
The rest of the actors are really well for their roles...
The plot is, as I said before indirectly, pretty nice, but...but I fear this was not really what I would've wanted to see in a good comedy. I don't consider that crime and sex must always be contained in a good comedy...and if they are, let them be well in their place. I do not consider it was all so good for this movie, but still things haven't gone really bad.
Maybe the thing I really didn't like is that the action is somewhat idiotic at the beginning with Utah, but anyway, the idea of blinding love is really becoming a boring thing.
After I draw the line, and add up the plus and minus points, I think the movie is just average. A reasonable 7 maybe.
