I liked the movie, it made me laugh - but to be honest pretty much anything with John Cusack in it is fine with me.

Rob Fleming feels like he's failed at life. It seems like the world agrees with him. His record store is barely making it, his mom pities him, his top five ex-girlfriends all replaced him with another guy, his girlfriend just moved in with another man, and their mutual friend Liz thinks he's an ar...
