Peter takes a trip to Hawaii to get over a traumatic break-up, but ends up in the same resort with his ex and her new boyfriend. This is a very typical 21st century romantic comedy: the jokes revolve mostly around sex and the protagonist is a plain-looking loser who is somehow irresistible to two beautiful women, played by Kristen Bell and Mila Kunis. Jason Segel gives a likeable performance in the lead, but his script is too predictable.
