Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Anna Faris, the Goldie Hawn de nos jours, plays another of her ditzy blondes in this production-line chick flick.
Here she's Ally, who reads in a magazine article – where else? – that women who've had more than 20 lovers are the least likely to find a husband. Oh no! Ally's up to 19! Will the next one be "the" one or is she doomed to a life of singledom? Chris Evans, permanently chowing on junk food, is the next-door neighbour who's keen to avert the crisis. Faris isn't a bad comedienne, but the cumulative pressure of American entitlement, unfunny sex banter and a happy ending seen from a mile off makes this anything but a pleasure. Martin Freeman provides respite – ie. five minutes of actual comedy – as one of the fortunate exes.
