What's Your Number? (2011)

All Critics (112) | Top Critics (33) | Fresh (25) | Rotten (83) | DVD (3)

This desperately seeking-laughs comedy stars Anna Faris, a comedian with a lot of quirk appeal, though little of it is on display.

With her sweet ditz openness, honk of a voice, blonde pixie looks and absolutely fearless comic flair, Anna Faris should be a superstar. But no one's found the right bottle for her elixir.

Top Critic

Lighting, camerawork, and editing are all a slapdash mess, one that further hinders the actors trying their best to get through this failed hookup of a comedy.

What's Your Number unavoidably plays like a mash-up of the recent romantic comedies that it should have beat to market.

Top Critic

For comedy connoisseurs it isn't news that Anna Faris is a largely untapped treasure. The melancholy question that lingers on the way out of the vulgar yet retrograde What's Your Number? is: Whither Anna?

Once again Anna Faris manages to be the best thing in another not very good Anna Faris movie.

Top Critic

What's Your Number? isn't necessary as a romantic comedy should be. It goes for the cheap way out at every turn and uses Faris as a punching bag for acquiring jokes.

We Got This Covered

Too similar to, and inferior to, "Bridesmaids"

While Faris is her usual, lovably offbeat self, she ultimately fights a losing battle against formula.

Sometimes, underneath a film's 'R' rating for sexual content and foul language, lies a core of sweetness and warmth. Unfortunately, for the unsuspecting viewer who is used to the quality of, say, Judd Apatow comedies, this is not one of those films.

The film's satirical jabs at people addicted to Facebook and Twitter raises a few smiles in what is otherwise a straight-to-cinemas DVD release.

Anna Faris and Chris Evans have enough charm to almost pull this off. Almost.

Cleveland Plain Dealer

There is something really attractive about Anna Faris as Ally, she has that mesmerizing mobile mouth that distracts but her presence is actually totally winning. She's a klutz but a loveable one.

At the Movies (Australia)

Still, it's hard to dislike any vehicle for Faris -- the slob's Marilyn Monroe -- with her gift for dejection and her pliable face, which is like a hastily drawn cartoon.

The Age (Australia)

If anything, it feels like 'What's Your Number?' is the worst version of what 'Bridesmaids' could have been. It just doesn't heart, and every joke feels completely forced and obvious.

The Scorecard Review

Fresh, funny and boosted by Anna Faris' superb comedic performance, this raunchy rom-com registers as a surprising delight.

The film isn't great, but Faris is.

The Vine

Like recent rom-com Friends with Benefits, it's the chemistry of the two leads that keeps it afloat. They just deserve better material to flirt around.

Anna Faris can be cute and funny in the bubbly, ditzy, Goldie Hawn manner - as she proved in The House Bunny - but she's mostly shrill and irritating in lame chick flick What's Your Number

Movie Talk

In spite of efforts to instill in our young women the notion that self-worth shouldn't be measured by her ability to attract a husband, filmmakers continue to craft comedy from that very outmoded belief.

Frank's Reel Reviews

Faris is a rare talent: beautiful as a porcelain doll with the comic instincts of a first-rate clown ...

...less an exercise in bad taste than in bad filmmaking.

Daniel M. Kimmel

New England Movies Weekly

A predictable by-the-numbers screwball farce that doesn't add up to entertaining fun.

A prime example of romantic-comedy by the numbers.

This is smarmy and sentimental. And repugnant, starting with the premise.

Boston Phoenix

A wonderfully funny comedy that shows young women in their real environment, competing with themselves.
