    A predictable fluff movie that really has no substance but is entertaining and worth watching one time. I say B.

    "Kim Powers, a great movie, none of it would matter without Sammy in my life." Sam Baum (Gad) is an up-incoming screen writer. His new movie is creating a ton of buzz and the huge movie star Kim Powers (Duff) wants to be in it. The big problem is that he only wants his girlfriend Sammy to be in it. When her ex-husband shows up and moves in with them their relationship becomes strained. Even though this is pretty much a fluff movie and extremely predictable it is still an enjoyable movie. Everyonce in a while it is good to just put in a movie that you don't need to think about and is not stressful at all to watch. This is a movie like that. Nothing original and acting is a little iffy but this is a movie that keeps you watching and entertained. There really isn't that much to say about this at all other then that. Not really anything deep or thought provoking but it is entertaining and that's what a movie is supposed to be. Overall, a decent one time watch. I give it a B.

    Entertaining and funny movie!

    This is just my opinion but after watching a screener of this movie, I found myself thoroughly enjoying it and I even laughed out loud a handful of times. I was skeptical at first about whether I wanted to give this type of movie 85 minutes of my life, now I'm glad I did.

    I can see why Charlie Sheen, Hilary Duff, and the other famous actors would do this movie. It's different and more sentimental than most of the movies they are frequently doing.

    I'd recommend this movie to most movie goers out there, but mainly for a high school or more youthful audience. They will get a kick out of the witty writing and comedy that Josh Gad provides.

    It's not like KnockedUp but A good Laugh

    I am always excited to see a movie about Hollywood or people that live there like KnockedUp and people that live in Hollywood or any of those Katherine Heigel movies, and this was done good for a low budget indie. You can tell in parts but I thought it was good overall. Duff was in it way more than expected and good on top of it, which is an unexpected surprise. Same went for Sheen, I love him and think he's hilarious but he was just sort of sweet in this and actually did a great honest job at being a "star" in the movie world. The 2 leads were really awesome together and i got choked up at the end because it felt like they both really loved each other. I heard it was based on them so not sure if they are a real couple but it def felt that way and i thought it was cute. Really heavy foul language though so don't take anyone younger than 16, I accidentally had my little sister with me and she was too young for it at 12.

    Better than expected, loud out loud funny

    I'd definitely recommend. It's a lot of fun! I DO NOT understand IMDb user ratings. This deserves to be much higher! It says that the weighed average is a 7.8 but the score is a lot lower. Very harsh for such a movie that deserves to be seen for a unique yet fun cinematic experience.

    I was fortunate enough to of had the opportunity to attend the premiere of SHE WANTS ME. The theater was pretty much full and the entire audience laughed out loud at least 15 or so times. I wasn't counted, but I know it was well over 10 times. Most of the humor comes from Josh Gad's character especially when he is dealing with his girlfriend's ex-husband (played by Johnny Messner). Messner has a lot of credits, but was a relative new face to me. He did a good job, but his character did have the best lines, so I guess most of the credit should be given to the scribe.

    Charlie Sheen has about 3.5 scenes in the movie, totaling about 6 to 7 of the 85 minute running time. Hilary Duff was in 6 scenes, totaling about 12 to 15 minutes or so I'd say. And Newman from Seinfeld (Wayne Knight) was in 2 scenes, totaling about 6 minutes I'd say. Debra Jo Rupp (Mom from That 70's show) was in pretty much every scene with Wayne Knight. They were funny and it was even funnier seeing the rapping granny from Wedding Singer and Wedding Crashers was in this movie too!

    Kristen Ruhlin is a name to watch

    Kristen Ruhlin, the star of this movie opposite Josh Gadd, reminds me of Audrey Hepburn in her looks and talent. I can see her appearing in Vogue and becoming a major figure on the movie scene before too long. I had the pleasure of working with her when she was first starting out and found her a joy to work with; one of the nicest and most considerate people I have ever met. This is another quality she shares with the late Audrey Hepburn: thorough professionalism and an exceptional ability to work well with other people. Like Hepburn, she never wears her ego on her sleeve. In a profession notorious for bad behavior and artificial attitudes, she is a genuine talent who saves all the drama for her on screen performances.
