Re: What's Your Number? Anna Faris, as perky and zany as ever, sure is appealing in What's Your Number? but the "been there, done that" feel of the script weighs her down. Faris is well-matched by Chris Evans, but the movie ends up following an insanely predictable romcom path. C

Re: What's Your Number? I heard she's awful in it, which is too bad as I'm a fan of Faris. Though honestly why would you expect this to not be by-the-numbers? That's how it looked from the trailer. Still looked enjoyable though.

Re: What's Your Number? I thought it was hilarious. A pleasant surprise after the disappointing things I'd heard about it. Anna Faris was really good and funny in it, and her and Chris Evans had great rom-com chemistry.

Re: What's Your Number? Anna Faris was quite charming in this, and the film itself is a passable time waster. But with a comedic cast of this magnitude (the hilarious Ari Graynor, Eliza Coupe, Chris Pratt, Martin Freeman and Joel McHale in particular are all pretty much wasted), this should have been much better and much funnier.

Re: What's Your Number? There were a few funny moments and a couple of nice shots of Boston (plus the TD Garden), but other than that this is pretty much a piece of garbage. Faris gives it her all, but what really hurts the movie is the lack of fully utilizing a decent supporting cast, and pretty much the entire last half. They could've at least attempted to make the decoy relationship at somewhat interesting. Instead the film is really only interested in having Anna Faris running around checking off the list of cliches the film thinks its required to meet.
