Summary: Two Starring Actors, 100-mins. of Antics
Review: Joe the Process Server (Matthew Perry) has just "served Sara" (Elizabeth Hurley) with divorce papers in New York. Sara's 2-timing Texas husband (Bruce Campbell) is trying to cheat her out of her rightful settlement as well as sell off an entire company that belongs to her. Joe has a change of heart (he's bribed actually) and decides to help Sara serve her husband first, in Texas. Together, Joe and Sara begin a wild trip across the country.This was just a cute story, but if you're a Hurley or Perry fan like I am, you'll enjoy their 100-mins. of antics.

Summary: Soft "Serve"
Review: Joe Tyler (Matthew Perry) is asked by his boss, Ray Harris (Cedric The Entertainer), to serve divorce papers to one Sara Moore (Elizabeth Hurley) on behalf of her rich husband Gordon (Bruce Campbell). Things are complicated when Sara convinces Joe to switch sides and give the papers to Gordon, making her a lot of money, that she promises to share. Meanwhile, a fellow Process server (Vincent Pastore) gets wind of the scheme, and tries to catch up with the pair, before they can complete the job. Directed by Reginald Hudlin, Serving Sara may have a likeable cast, but as far as romantic comidies go it's still rather weak and predictible Liz Hurley is certainly beautiful and has aready proven she can do comedy with her role in Austin Powers. Perry can tackle comedy on television for sure, but the 2 of them have little on screen chemistry, in the movie. Adding to the film's problems is the fact that the duo's best stuff was seen in the trailers. In fact, all of the movie's best gags were put in the preview, and so you're left with little else to laugh at. The comic twists not seen elsewhere, are DOA because you can spot them coming a mile away. I felt as though I was one step ahead of the charaters in this one. The only comic bright spot for me was Cedric and his antics. Considering he had a limited role, I thought he was great, and I kept waiting for him to return. In the end, I expected a screwball adult comedy, instead there was just a couple with no spark, a script with little laughs, and no surprises. The DVD has an okay commentary track by Hudlin that offers the usual stuff about making a comedy. The behind the scenes featurette is a well produced piece of "fluff".By far the highlight for me was watching the blooper reel, but you will only need to see them once...and that's it. Rounding out the extras on the disc, are 2 deleted scenes, and 3 alternate scenes. These, like bloopers have liitle to offer after the first look. I think Hurley should find another partner for her next comedy, and if Perry must continue to make films, he should find better scripts. Recommended only for die hard fans of the film. Everyone else should steer clear of this one

Summary: Funny with boring story...
Review: Joe Tyler (Matthew Perry) serves a surprised Sara Moore (Elizabeth Hurley) her divorce papers from her husband who attempts to seek benefits from the divorce laws in Texas. Sara convinces Joe to serve her husband divorce papers instead and this leads the two out on an adventure to try to find her husband in the state of Texas. Serving Sara is a comedy that has many belly aching moments, but these are based on situational jokes and pranks that seem irrelevant to the story, which leaves the viewer with an unsatisfied film happening.

Summary: Funny Funny Funny!
Review: Let's face it.Matthrew Perry and Liz Hurley are not the greatest actor and actress in the world but in this movie they make up for everything that they did wrong.This movie is not only funny but it is fun to watch.The plot makes the movie fun and the small scenes and one liners that they stick in are hilarious. Everybody told me not to go and see this movie but whatever they said about it was wrong.The thing that makes a movie good in my point of veiw is the plot that the writers give the movie.The plot in this movie is not only funny but it also has a little bit of heart added into it which I think is the perfect combination.Also the genre.Since this movie is a road ceomendy which are my favorites I think that is what gives it it's good looks.Well the movie is good and could be one of the funniest movie of the summer but what is it about?I have been ranting about how good the plot is for the past few lines.Now see for yourself. The Plot:Joe Tyler(Matthrew Perry) is a shady process server who has to go around to people and tell them that they are being sued and then has to touch them to make it official.Since people don't want to get served and when they do they want to kill Joe this doesn't really make his job easy.Joe used to be the greatest process erver untill along came Tony who is always finding the people Joe needs to serve faster then Joe finds them.Joe hates his job.He gets picks for an assignment worth 5 grand and Tony gets angry and tips the girl who Joe has to serve,Sara Moore(Liz Hurley),saying that Joe is going to come and serve her.She runs away and Joe chases her around New York.Joe's boss Ray Harris gives Tony the job and Joe learns that Tony is always tipping off the people he needs to serve.Joe gets his revenge and serves Sara and sends clues all around the place to get Tony far away.Sara decides to go back to Texas where she lives and bumps into Joe on the bus where she learns that if her husband who is sueing her serves her first then they could have the trial in Texas thus letting him get most of the money while if Joe serves him first they have to have it in New York.Sara tells Joe that if he rips up her papers and serves her husband first then she will give him a million bucks.Joe agrees and they travel to go find her husband.Meanwhile Ray sends Tony off to find Sara and the race is on. The movie may seem a little complex but it really is not.The movie is great and funny and if you havn't seen it yet I suggest that you see it now! ENJOY!

Summary: Wait for HBO/tv!
Review: Matthew Perry + Elizabeth Hurley + Cedric The Entertainer + Vincent Pastore + Bruce Campbell = this dreck? This is one of the few times that I agree with the critics in that Mr. Perry (who looks like he was having some personal problems at the time of the filming) and Elizabeth Hurley simply do not show enough chemistry to save this sludge. As usual, the cast is game, but the writing and directing is simply not there. So, what gives the movie the 1 star? Hurley's outfits, for sure and Cedric The Entertainer, and the always sublime Bruce Campbell.

Summary: A funny script failed by Elizabeth Hurley
Review: Matthew Perry is a New York process server who, in trying to serve divorce papers to a Texas millionaire's trophy wife, gets sucked into her scheme to get revenge on her infidel husband.
The plot and script were amusing, and the cast was well chosen except for one actress - Elizabeth Hurley. Her sex appeal is her only asset in this film (would Sara Moore's pants have been torn off by an airport baggage claim conveyor belt if a less hot actress had played her? I think not.) Her acting is shallow and grows less and less tolerable with every viewing of this movie. Serving Sara could have been a very funny movie that could be enjoyed for years after, but instead will be abandoned as soon as it loses its "new release" status because of the mediocre acting of the second most major character. Sandra Bullock would have been an excellent choice for the role.
This film's screenwriter has obviously never been to Texas, and any Texan would be nauseated by the blatant inaccuracies and character portrayals. Even today, Texans are still portrayed in films as loud, unintelligent, overbearing, and materialistic. The scene where the attendees of a monster truck show whip out guns and begin firing on Gordon Moore once they are told he is carrying the Ebola virus is absurd (Texans don't carry guns around with them, we keep them at home). Also, regarding factual information, when the secretary points out Durango to Sara on a map to reveal Gordon's whereabouts, she points to central Texas, around Austin and San Antonio. Durango is a small, insignificant town in south Texas near the Mexican border. No one with money would hold property down there. Also, Gordon Moore may be stupid, but if he was stupid enough to try to farm in hilly, rocky central Texas, he wouldn't be worth $20 million.
I gave this movie 3 stars out of kindness, because with the right actress, it could have been something worth buying.

Summary: I enjoyed it a lot
Review: Matthew Perry is a really funny guy. A lot of people have said his Hollywood moives don't reflect his abilities. Those people are wrong and they need to stop comparing his movie characters to his most famous role as Chandler on "Friends." It's not a fair comparison and they won't enjoy his movies until they stop. Serving Sara has a funny plot. Joe Tyler(Perry) is a process server. He's pretty good at his job, but has been on the slump as of late. His boss Ray(Cedric) is mad at him and is ready to dump him for Tony(Pastore) if he doesn't stop screwing up. His next assignmrnt is big and simple. He must serve Sara Moore(Hurley) because her husband Gordon(Campbell) doesn't want to be married to her and he certainly doesn't want to give her any money. Sara is tipped though of Joe's plans and it doesn't work. She gives him a proposition though. If he can serve Gordon, she will give him half of the assests that she gets out of the divorce. Joe sees his chance for millions and decides to take it. Now the race is on in Texas to see if Joe can do it, before Tony catches up and tries to serve Sara. Matthew Perry is great in this movie. There isn't a better guy in Hollywood that uses sarcasm as well as he does. His timing is perfect in the movie and he takes the character Joe and runs with it. He's serious during the serious parts and he's funny as anything during the funny parts. I love Perry when he's working with the bull on the farm. Elizabeth Hurley is great as well. She plays her charcter Sara well. It is kind of a miscast for her, but she still works. She is as hot as ever in the movie, and is really there just for eye candy. Bruce Campbell is awesome. This guy is the man and so few people have ever heard of him. This isn't as funny as his role as Ash in the evil dead series, but it's certainly a change for him. He's funny doing the typical Texas stero tpye baron. His fans should be pleased with his performance. The rest of the cast is great as well. You have to like Cedric the Entertainer. This guy is funny and I love all his anger management toys he has. This is a funny movie. Is it one of the greatest comedies of all time? Certainly not. Is it a funny movie that is worth a cheap buy or Rental? Absolutely. If you are willing to look past a few flaws, this movie can really be enjoyed, and like I said earlier. Matthew Perry is Joe Tyler in this movie, not Chandler..don't let the comparisons ruin the movie for you.

Summary: Mildly Amusing (and I won't spoil the plot for you either)
Review: Michael Perry, Elizabeth Hurley.....yes, she's better by far....he just doesn't have that something special......which, of course, is what has made him a star......people just keep watching because they *know* he's almost there.....the key is the almost part.....if he ever gets it, I predict his career will end (because there probably isn't anything to get). Anyway, this is mildly amusing.....a good film if you don't want to have to think about anything and aren't serious about seeing something *really* funny......it's ok, worth the time to watch as long as you don't expect to be gloriously entertained. So, without spoiling the plot (why do so many reviewers *insist* on detailing the entire film?).....there are a number of plot twists, most of which you can see coming although there are definitely a couple that may catch you off guard.....I got one big surprise near the end that was sorta fun.....and this is what makes the film worth watching......you can enjoy this one even if you didn't pick it up because of the Friends connection.

Summary: an OK romantic comedy
Review: One can look at the cover and tell right off the bat what it is, and besides being a girly chick flick romantic comedy starring Mathew PErry, Elizabth Hurley, Bruce Campbell, and Cedric the Entertainer. However this particular title provides some decent laughs for both sexes. Serving Sara is about Mathew Perry who is process server. Basically he delivers court orders to a prticular person, and hopes he doesn't die. He's good at his job however until he seems to hit a two month rut, mostly caused by one of his associates Tony. Elizabeth Hurly is plays Sara, a beutiful women who is happily married to her handsome husband (played by the always funny Bruce Campbell). Little does she realize that he is cheating on her is about to file for divorice. Cederic plays Mathews Boss who is giving him this one last chance, an easy job. However when he (Perry) goes to deliver the papers she ends up giving him an offer he couldn't refuse. At this point the comedy really begins as the movie turns into a romantic, slapstick, physical comedy. The main problem with Serving Sara is that the focus on PErry and Hurley, there funniest moments are shown in the trailers. FOr the most part the movie when it focus on them turns into utter blaw at many moments. In fact it is the Bruce Campbell and Cederic who really light up the screen when they are on. OVerall Serving Sara is not utter drek that many romantic comedies end up being. However with a fairly lack of focus at times and the fact that some of the humor does backfire makes this movie a renter only. A good date flick, but certainly something not worht owning.
