What's Your Number? is a romantic comedy that was released in 2011, directed by Mark Mylod and starring Anna Faris, Chris Evans, and Ari Graynor. The film tells the story of Ally Darling (Anna Faris), a young woman who is convinced that she has already met the love of her life and is desperate to find him before it's too late. Ally's conviction is backed up by a magazine article that she has read, which states that women who have had more than 20 sexual partners are unlikely ever to get married. However, after taking stock of her own sexual history and realizing that she has had 19 partners, Ally starts to panic and decides that she must find her Mr. Right before anyone else turns her off completely.
To do this, Ally enlists the help of her neighbor, Colin Shea (Chris Evans), a good-looking womanizer who decides to help Ally track down her ex-boyfriends in order to find her true love. Colin's reasoning is that he will get to sleep with Ally in the meantime, and also because he has a soft spot for her and wants to see her happy.
As they begin their quest, Ally and Colin become increasingly close and start to develop feelings for one another. However, Ally is still fixated on the idea of finding her long-lost love and is constantly distracted by thoughts of him, despite Colin's growing affection for her.
Throughout the movie, Ally and Colin's relationship is tested as they navigate their way through a series of awkward encounters with Ally's ex-boyfriends. Some of these encounters are amusing, while others are more emotional and poignant, as Ally comes to terms with the fact that some of her former lovers are happy without her.
The movie is filled with humorous moments and witty dialogue, and Anna Faris delivers one of her best performances as the slightly neurotic and endearing Ally. Chris Evans also shines as the charming womanizer with a heart of gold, and their chemistry together is a joy to watch.
The movie also touches on some more serious themes such as self-esteem, self-worth, and the pressures that women face in society to conform to certain standards. However, these themes are handled with sensitivity and never feel preachy or heavy-handed.
In conclusion, What's Your Number? is a light and fun romantic comedy that is perfect for a girls' night in. It has all the hallmarks of a classic rom-com, but with a modern twist, and its charming cast and witty script make it a great way to escape from reality for a couple of hours.
What's Your Number? is a 2011 comedy with a runtime of 1 hour and 46 minutes. It has received mostly poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 6.0 and a MetaScore of 35.
