Ok I can see all the people out to kill me but because I was not totally happy with this I gave it a 8 overall rewatch value. Why because even thought you can totally say that it's a pleasant comedy about two people who are heavily involved in the dating scene, they are both experts at snaring members of the opposite sex. They then meet in each other their match. A particular strength of the movie is showing what they really think while they say whatever they think the other one needs to hear. There are two shortcomings to this film. The first one is a mild one, which is that there are cultural nuances which Westerners might not catch. This is minor and I think with repeated viewings, one might understand. The other is a major one. With the man, one knows what his object is: obviously, sex with the girl. With the girl, it is unclear what her goal is since she confides to her girlfriend that she finds him attractive, yet she leads him on and on and on. She is supposed to be a seductress, yet she avoids many opportunities to bag him. Oh, well, still a pleasant comedy.
