Hello Ladies: Goodbye boredom.

After Trudy breaks his heart and gets married to Mike, Stuart moves to L.A., finds a clumsy wingman named Wade, and rents an apartment to a former actress named Jessica. (Christine Woods) Stuart has acquired a taste for fashion models during his time in Los Angeles. Stuart meets a Russian model named Tatiana (Stephanie Cornielieussen) and plans to make Trudy jealous with his conquest. At the last minute, Tatiana breaks the date. Desperate for a date to impress Trudy, Stuart asks Jessica to step in, does Jessica agree? Is Trudy jealous?
There are so many funny scenes in this movie, laugh-out loud funny scenes. Christine's audition for a yogurt commercial, Stuart trying to pick up the Russian model on a boat party. and an unforgettable cameo from Nicole Kidman, The plot is predictable from beginning to end, but the jokes are so funny that the plot hardly matters. I never saw the TV show that this movie is based on, but this movie does a good job of explaining the backstory of the the TV show and being a stand alone movie of its own.
Writer and lead actor Stephen Merchant builds a world where a geeky, freakishily tall man can date Russian models, and it seems almost plausible. His delivery is so deadpan, that it makes the jokes even more funny. Christine Woods has a definite Julia Louis Dreyfuss quality about her and has excellent comic timing. The rest of the ensemble plays their roles to a tee and makes the entire movie a pleasant experience.
The movie is not long, and perfectly paced for a comedy. Sit back and enjoy.
