Say It Isn't So

Rating:
Summary: Moderately entertaining, but nothing special
Review: "Say It Isn't So" is not a terrible movie, but it is also not an outstanding movie. The film is a light comedy and does have its moments. There are a few scenes, which do manage to get a laugh from me, but there are not too many of these types of scenes. Story wise it is nothing special, but it is mildly entertaining. The acting is mediocre and could have been better. All in all, this movie is just average.

Summary: acually it deserve ZERO, bad
Review: ...It was a waste of 60 minutes, I had to fast forward the boring tape, and the disgusting comedy, why we have to watch salting a sandwich for a stroke victim under his wife's armpit, and punching the cows then get your hand stuck. I have to admit that I only laughed when one of the bad gang hit his partner, as he was not wearing glasses, otherwise I do regret watching it.
As others said before if you get bored half the way through the introductory, so "say it isn't so, it is really a bad conducted comedy.

Summary: Say It Isn't So Professional Review
Review: Blockbuster hit Say It Isn't So! is an underated film. For one its theatrical release was a very short period of time. Secondly it got aweful reviews but to get down to the real perspective of the film its a good one. The movie starts out a little slow and not very funny but throughout the rest of the film the ludacrisniss of it just makes you laugh like you have in Austin Powers 2 or even American Pie. 3 Stars for good but it would of been four stars if it wasnt for the slow beginning

Summary: Tries too hard to be funny.
Review: Boy meets girl. Boy courts girl... Boy finds out girl is his sister. Girl moves away to marry someone else, leaving boy at home with new mom and pop. Boy finds out girl is not his sister. Boy rushes out to find girl, but is thwarted by people who think boy is a pervert for slamming his sister. Boy, is this a boring story.

Chances are, if you got tired halfway through reading that introductory paragraph, then "Say It Isn't So" will have the same effect on you (that is, if you don't walk out first). From the producers of "There's Something About Mary," the film makes many attempts to be like that film, though with less pleasing results. The comedy starts out somewhat funny, but this is no gut buster, and by the first half hour, the material is just plain boring.

The film begins in Indiana, where simple Gilly Noble (Chris Klein) narrates the opening credits about his dream of finding the perfect woman to share his life with. His dream soon comes true when he meets Jo Wingfield (Heather Graham), a hairdresser who gives him a patented "There's Something About Mary" hairstyle and cuts his ear off when he tells her he's found her cat.

Of course, Jo's mother, Valdine (Sally Field), isn't thrilled about the relationship, so when Gilly is told by a hired detective that Valdine is his birth mother, Valdine hides the truth to prevent the two from being together, hoping that Jo will go back to her rich ex-boyfriend. And since Gilly and Jo have already slept together, he is now marked for life as the "sister slammer."

So what happens next? If you really want to know, read on. It turns out Gilly is not related to Jo or her family, and makes his way to Beaver, Oregon, to stop her wedding to Jack. Valdine's true son comes home, and she uses him as a ploy to keep Jo from taking Gilly seriously when he arrives. Will they or won't they end up together?

After five minutes, who really cares? I didn't. The film is constantly unfunny and aimless, one that is certainly below the standards of gross-out comedy, which is so desperately strives to be. There are some gross-out scenes, yes; one involves Gilly's hand stuck inside the rectum of a cow, after which he pulls it out, only to discover that his engagement ring was left behind, so you can guess what happens next.

Other scenes involve Chris Klein disguising himself with leftover body hair from wax strips in a beauty parlor dumpster, Sally Field rubbing a sandwich in her armpits for "extra saltiness," and Jo's stroke-stricken father using crude language and vulgarities right and left. For some movies, such as "American Pie," moments like these are funny; in the case of "Say It Isn't So," they are stale. I didn't believe in any of the comic gags the movie threw at me; they just weren't that humorous.

Other scenes that don't involve crudeness are just as plain. When Gilly uses a plane to fly a banner saying "I'm not your brother, marry me," the "not" becomes detached, and you can guess the reaction of the crowd. Then he is placed in a mental hospital, where a fat man asks if pancakes will be served the following morning and Gilly is placed in a straightjacket and locked in a padded room.

"Say It Isn't So" was produced by the Farrelly brothers, of "There's Something About Mary" and "Me, Myself and Irene." But the movie is nothing like their previous work; in fact, it's below those previous films. I find it difficult to laugh at such a film, one that can't place the humor and gross-outs in the right places.

Summary: Klein bumbles and mumbles in a awful crumby movie
Review: Chris Klein (Election, American Pie) plays the lead character is this movie about a man who falls in love with a hairstylist, Heather Graham (From Hell, Killing Me Softly), and gets to know her very well, meets her parents, Sally Field (Forest Gump, Smokey and The Bandit) and Richard Jenkins (Changing Lanes, Cheaper By The Dozen O4)..Jenkins is in a wheelchair and has a vocalizer. Klein finds out that Graham is his sister, while they are having sex. After that she moves away and he stays with his real parents. A year or so later, who cares, he finds out that those parents arent his real parents beacause the real son of Field and Jenkins, Jack Plotnick (tv's Buffy The Vampire), comes and tells them all. Klein is now branded as a sexual predator as he flies away to go get Graham back. Graham is marrying a hot shot, Eddie Cibrian (tv's Third Watch). Klein becomes friends with a crazy, one legged Orlando Jones (The Orlando Jones Show, Drumline) in the process. Klein bumbles and gets himself into gross out situations to try to win the girl of his dreams back. Sarah Silverman (The Way Of The Gun, Tv's Greg The Bunny) also stars. A total disaster, though Orlando Jones has some funny oneliners.

Summary: Not bad, easy to watch comedy
Review: Easy to watch. Chris Klein and Orlando Jones are excellent, Heather Graham OK, Sally Field annoying.

The good: some really funny moments and clever puns.
The bad: weak plot, and a bit slow.

Summary: Good Actors, Bad Plot
Review: Gilly, a dog-catcher, meets Jo, a ditzy hairdresser, the girl of his dreams. Everything seems to be going right until we find out that the lovebirds share the same parents. (!)

There are some great actors here and some really funny scenes (kudos to Orlando Jones), but too much gross slapstick and incest jokes for this audience member. If seeing Heather Graham cut Chris Klein's ear off and stab him with scissors doesn't bother you, then maybe seeing Chris Klein with his arm stuck inside a cow's rear end will. All in all, it was too gross to be good.

Summary: Say It Isn't So
Review: I absolutely loved this movie. I think it is hysterical. I've seen it 3 times and each time it makes me laugh like crazy. Creatively done and keeps you on the edge of your seat because you don't know what kind of silly thing could happen next.

Summary: sweeest out of all the farelly brothers flicks
Review: i actually thought of not renting this after i saw me myself & irene which was the crudest and rudest comedy i had ever seen. it was actually a sweet romantic comedy with a whole bunch of good actors and actresses including the two wonderful together chris klein and the incredibly cute heather graham. the funniest part was when the dad got covered with bees.
