What’s Your Number is about a woman who has had 20 relationships in her life, and suspects that one of the men she’s been with is her true love, and now she has to figure out which one is.
Anna Faris plays the lead character of Ally Darling, who decided that her limit on number of men she would sleep with in her life is 20. After banging her 20th dude, she has to go back through her list of conquests and figure out if one of them is her one true love. As these films often go, she revisits he all of her previous boyfriends, and they’re all nightmares, except for one guy, with whom she has chemistry but could never see herself with. But, with a little Hollywood magic, they see past their differences and realize that they’re made for each other.
And the crowd goes mild.
Parents need to know that although What's Your Number? is a romantic comedy, it promises to include plenty of raunchy sexual content and strong language. Anna Faris stars as a twentysomething woman who's been unlucky in love and wonders whether one of the guys she wrote off in the past could have been her soulmate. So she attempts to track them all down, giving each a second chance and trying to fix past mistakes along the way. Because the film's plot centers on relationships, the sexual content is likely to be strong; the main character's neighbor is also a ladies' man who apparently has several one-night-stands. Expect a lot of adult language and dialogue as well.
For a beleaguered, seemingly hopeless romantic, Anna Faris has a pretty enviable dating record. But then, even the most dysfunctional guys are Hollywood stars in the world of romantic comedies.
Faris stars in the new rom-com "What's Your Number?," a flick about a woman long on relationships but short on anything meaningful. As she goes through a string of her exes -- from the likes of puppeteer Andy Samberg to a gay Anthony Mackie to real-life husband Chris Pratt -- in search of The One, she finds that she may have what she's looking for just across the hallway.
Of course, most ladies don't have Captain America living in their apartment building.
Coincidentally, Faris met husband Pratt on the set of "Take Me Home Tonight," an 80's-set comedy that they shot three years ago but just recently hit theaters. Pratt plays an ultimately failed love interest for Faris in that film, as well.
The movie is about a woman who looks back at her past twenty men she’s had an affair with and tries to find whether she did not miss the Mr. Right of her life.
This is the story of Ally who tries to find the Mr. Right but is too scared to go for new relations so she looks back at her twenty odd boyfriends whom she had dated to find the Mr. Right.
Well the plot seems to be simple but the teaser promises that the movie is going to be one hell of a comic flick. So check out the teaser and tell us about the movie, whatever you feel about the movie.
Scripted by Gabrielle Allan & Jennifer Crittenden, this is based on Karyn Bosnak's “20 Times a Lady”, and focuses on Ally Darling (Anna Faris) who embarks on a quest to find the best “ex” of her life...by any means necessary, when she reads a magazine article warning that people who have had 20 or more relationships have missed their chance at true love.
What's Your Number? — the not-your-average-rom-com rom-com spotlighted in The New Yorker's recent Anna Faris feature about the lack of opportunity for funny women in Hollywood — isn't trying to completely burn down the genre-trope farm. (Wait, is "burning down the farm" an expression anywhere other than in our heads? Sorry, let's just move on.) For one: You know in the first ten seconds whom Faris's unlucky-in-love character will end up with, and that person is a flawed-but-easily-redeemable really, really handsome guy with a big heart. But mostly everything else about this, admirably, feels new, most of all that Faris comes off as truly odd; not cutesy and appropriately eccentric, but fully weird in an occasionally unsettling way (as in: "My British accent was rusty and I went full Borat"). More important: This thing is actually funny! So funny, in fact, that we're going to try to figure out a way to work "I'm marrying a scientist, too; he doesn't look smart either" into casual conversation by this afternoon. And most important: If this thing makes Anna Faris a big-time star, are we retroactively forgiven for totally loving both Scary Movie 1 and 2?
