Summary: Stupid stupid stupid...
Review: I don't really know how to put my hatred of this movie into words. It was THE worst movie I have ever seen in my life. I have seen a lot of bad movies in my time, but this really takes the cake. I don't think I would even wish this movie upon my worst enimy, that would be too cruel. I didn't laugh once watching this movie, it just left me shaking my head in awe of how really horible it was. Please save yourself from torture, and skip watching this excuse for a movie.

Summary: Enjoyable at the time but ultimately dissatisfying.
Review: I enjoyed Say It Isn't So while I was in the theatre. I thought it was hilarious fun, not the sort of hilarious fun I'd buy, but still fun. On the drive home, I was thinking, now, if I had to write a plot summary of this movie, how would I put it? Here's what I came up with: Boy meets girl. Girl hurts boy. Boy finds out girl is sister. Boy finds out girl is not sister. Girl is engaged. Boy tries to get her back. You probably know the rest. It's not an impressive plot, and though it is a plot that is able to bring up some very funny scenes through the way, it doesn't work. The characters you don't care for and you know how it turns out. There are some very predictable laughs, Gilly (Chris Klein) puts on a helicopter sheet "Jo I'm not your brother Marry Me" and guess what happens? Yep, the word "brother" is ripped off. It is also hard to understand why a man with such a nice personality would do such crazy things. In the end, there's plenty to enjoy, but only while your watching it. After viewing, you get the feel of ultimate dissatisfaction.

Summary: Cute little offbeat romance.
Review: I guess I'm admitting to a guilty pleasure, but I liked this quirky little romance. It was a veritable roller-coaster ride of plot twists to delight any connosieur of zany ribald irreverent comedy. And the romantic mix is a plus. To say much more would give crucial twists away, so I won't. All I'll add, is isn't Heather Graham a marvel? She makes me wonder if she was cryogenically frozen for a decade or more. Until recently I'd known of her only from LICENSE TO DRIVE back in the late eighties or so. She was or looked like a teenager then. Nowadays she reappears in this and AUSTIN POWERS THE SPY WHO SHAGGED ME, still looking like a teenager and never loosing a beat with her acting ability and charm. As for her looks, I've heard of Oil of Olay, but this is ridiculous. Where has she been all this time? I hope she keeps up her good work and I see her in more movies soon.

Summary: Don't pay attention to the stuffy reviews.
Review: I read a few other reviews on Amazon about this movie. Don't believe most of them. Apparently those people were trying to watch it with a pen and paper in hand. Grab this movie, sit back and relax, and try to keep your beer from coming out through your nose! That's what this movie is about. One reviewer said that it is the same tired storyline yadda yadda yadda. There's a stroke of brilliance! What movie isn't "the same tired storyline"? How many movies have won Oscars with the Boy-meets-girl-boy-loses-girl-boy-gets-girl-back story? (hint: it's easier to count the ones that weren't) I loved this movie. I laughed at this movie. I enjoyed this movie. But then again, I don't think life is long enough to write a thesis that illustrates my superb vocabulary and supreme intellect about a movie meant to be the theatrical equivilant of a wet willy. (for you mister intellect guy, a wet willy is licking your finger and sticking it in someones ear, try it!)

Summary: Best comedy Sally Fields has ever delivered!
Review: I roared with laughter at the antics of the two funny co-stars of this movie, played by Sally Field and her "husband" with the vocalator from Walmart! If you love slapstick, this is the movie for you. Full of clever surprises, Sally Field steals the show with her "husband" confined to a wheelchair! Zany, silly, and just plain fun. I watched it twice so I wouldn't miss anything and bought the DVD. Go, Sally Field! You're great as a blonde! I've never seen your comic style so vividly demonstrated. A must-see for fans of comedy.

Summary: this was horrible....
Review: I saw this movie in the theatre, and I went in thinking it would be hilarious. The previews made the movie out to be far more funny than it actually was. They showed all of the funny parts on the trailers, and in between those few parts, was just pure stupidity. It wasn't even close to being good. It's on my list of "worst movies I've ever seen"

Summary: one of the dumbest movies I've ever seen!
Review: I'm a fan of the beautiful,sexy Heather Graham and of Farrelly Brothers films.And I must say this movie did not do Heather's talents justice and this is the worst film the Farrelly Brothers have made.The plot,that of a guy possibly having a crush on his sister,nauseated me.And aside from Heather,the acting stunk!This movie is not worth seeing.

Summary: Great Laughs
Review: I'm surprised to see the various reviews for this movie. Everyone must have a different sense of humour. I'm neither a racist nor a sexist but I like like comedy that's on the edge. That's why I can count on the Farelly Brothers to deliver something that'll make me roll on the floor each time. So far nothing tops the quality of "There's something about Mary," but there are alot of us out there craving for this type of humour so it's all welcome. If you like wacky, out of this world storylines, weird and raunchy characters, and enjoy a good laugh you'll like this. I gave it a four star because "...Mary" deserves the five star.

Summary: Say It Isn't So! - Popkorn Junkie's (and my) review
Review: If you've seen the trailer......... you can probably figure out that this movie is about two small town lovers, Gilly and Jo (played by Chris Klein and Heather Graham), who are torn apart because everyone thinks that they are brother and sister when in fact they are not. It's not incest....it's just a terrible case of mistaken identity! If you've seen the trailer.........you've seen every single funny scene in this film. If you've seen the trailer.........don't bother seeing the movie, it wasn't even worth the price of the discounted matinee ticket I got. Needless to say I didn't like this film much. Chris Klein plays the same sensitive, sweet sort of guy that he's played in all his other films (i.e. "Election", "American Pie", etc.). Heather Graham....what can I say about her. I used to think she was cute....in a blonde doofus kind of way....but now I'm just sick of her. Like Klein, she seems to be playing the same character over and over again...not exactly the same character of course...but you know what I mean-- the blonde doofus who's supposed to be sexy for some reason. Personally I think she looks like an alien...her chin is too small and her eyes are too big (but that's just my totally catty opinion). Anyway..... The only redeeming aspect of the film are the chuckles (not laughs really) that come from the interaction between Jo's (Graham's) parents played by Sally Fields and Richard Jenkins. Jo's father is a wheelchair bound, cranky, bastard and Jo's mom is a money grubbing, white trash, leach. There are a few gags involving these two characters that will make most people giggle, but that's about it. Don't get me wrong, there are a bunch of jokes in the movie that are pretty funny but like I said before-- almost every single big joke was given away in the trailer! There are also a few totally disgusting gross-out scenes ala "There's Something About Mary" so don't be too shocked when you see Klein punch a cow in the butt and get his arm stuck in it's....well, um....you know. Yucky? Yes. Funny? Not really. Recommendation: I'll make this really easy for you: Don't buy this film (don't even bother renting it) if you've seen the trailer....you'll be paying for laughs that you've already been given for free AND (more importantly) you'll be wasting two hours of your life that you can never get back. I'm sure those of you who haven't seen the trailer are asking, "But Patsy, I haven't seen the trailer? What should I do?".....my response: If you have a really good sense of humor and you really want to see this movie and you can't think of anything better to do....sure, see it! You'll get a few laughs I'm sure but don't blame me if you're not completely satisfied.
