That leaves him in a pinch, because he’s lost his driving privilege due to his problems, so he does what anyone in his situation will do – he takes a cab. He picks a good one. The driver, Belle (Queen Latifah) has issues of her own, but hers of an entirely different sort. She drives too fast, but she’s actually good at it.

What’s even better (for Washburn) is that Belle’s cab has the ability to morph into a sort of super-cab, with built-in racing jacks and turbo engine and I don’t even know how to describe everything else, and she’s got the chops to keep up with these women burglars who Washburn is investigating.

Now if she can just convince her boyfriend that she’s with Washburn because it’s a police investigation, and not some sort of strange dating ritual, she’ll be okay.

Actually, there are some lighthearted moments in the movie, and if there’s nothing else on, I might watch it again, but I probably wouldn’t spend too much effort trying to get this on DVD or anything else just to see it. It just isn’t that good.

Rated PG-13 for language, sensuality and brief violence.

Drew Barrymore plays high-powered businesswoman Lindsey Meeks, who gets together with less-than-ambitious schoolteacher Ben Wrightman (Jimmy Fallon). Both are 30 and neither is taken, so obviously each has problems. Lindsey’s issue is her job. Ben’s problem is that he’s a Red Sox fan.

While not the smartest written comedy, it isn’t the worst, either. It’s no Major League or anything, but it’s not bad either. Though I’m not a Red Sox fan, you can’t help but feel for Ben – he has liked the Sox for more than twenty years so he deserves something, right?

The biggest complaint that I have is that there really isn’t anything surprising here. Ben is a big baseball fan, and that’s his problem. Lindsey is a workaholic. They have to decide if it’s worth the tradeoff to be with each other. Of course the answer is yes, so they just have to work through it.

Rated PG-13, the movie is mostly okay for everyone, but there is some adult language that won’t be good for the younger set. The rest of the rating comes from crude humor and sexuality, much of which will probably go unnoticed. Frankly, most of the young ones will likely be bored with the movie anyway, so you won’t end up arguing over watching this one.
