What's Your Number? - Film Review

What's Your Number? Is a romantic comedy. It stars Anna Faris, Chris Evans and Ari Graynor.
It is a delightful story based on some research that Ally (Anna) reads in a magazine that in America, the average woman has 10.5 lovers and 96% of women who’ve been with 20 or more lovers can’t find a husband.  So Ally, decides, during an inebriated evening and after realising that she is up to number 19, that the numbers aren’t running in her favour.
She vows that man No. 20 will be "the one." Then she sleeps with the creep who just fired her!
So now, if her vow not to exceed the No. 20 is to mean anything, she has to revisit Nos. 1-19 to find the right one.  Her younger sister (Ari Graynor) is not helping, she is about to get married and Ally is under pressure to take a partner, one her mother approves of. 
She comes to an agreement with Colin (Chris Evans) who lives across the hall, who has a different women most nights, that he can hide out with her if he uses his skills, acquired from his family, to find her ex-partners.  Of course you can all guess the end but how they get there is very amusing.  There are some great scenes i.e. strip basketball! In fact, Ally spends quite a bit of the film in her underwear.
It is one of those films that most women will enjoy at anytime of your life.  Is is a man's film? not really but there are parts that you will enjoy and if you have just slept with a women and she says you are number 20 beware!!
