A woman (Anna Faris) breaks up with her boyfriend and loses her job on the same day. When she reads an article on how many sex partners is acceptable for women to have before settling down, she realizes that she is very near the cutoff and decides to revisit the men she's slept with to see if any of them are suitable as lifelong partners.

CAVEATS

Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.

We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.

Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
