Ring in the New Year with a fresh and funny tale about dating, relationships and life as Anna Faris (Scary Movie Franchise, The House Bunny) and Chris Evans (Fantastic Four, Captain America) come together in a hilarious quest for “the one” in WHAT’S YOUR NUMBER? Unrated Ex-tended Cut, debuting on Blu-ray and DVD January 10 from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment.

After reading a magazine article that insists if a woman has slept with at least 20 people that they have already missed Mr. Right, marketing executive Ally Darling (Anna Faris) begins to panic, thinking that she will be alone forever. With the help of her hunky new neighbor (Chris Evans), Ally starts tracking down all her ex-boyfriends, hoping to find her real true love while she helps him escape his latest fling. Hilarious hijinks and adventure ensues as Ally goes on her wild search for the best “ex” of her life, only to find what she is looking has been right in front of her all along.

Featuring hysterical supporting performances from Chris Pratt (Moneyball, “Parks and Recreation”), Joel McHale (“The Soup,” “Community”) and Andy Samberg (“Saturday Night Live,” Hot Rod), WHAT’S YOUR NUMBER? is based on the book “20 times a Lady” by Karen Bosnak.

As a longtime Anna Faris fan, it didn’t take any convincing to see What’s Your Number? even though I wasn’t entirely on board with the story… and I am so glad that I did see the film. The initial problem was that I was more focused on Ally’s past than what she was trying to do with her future, while not having read the book which this film is based on. My judgement was only based on what the trailers put out there (which can be very deceiving at times). I knew that I would laugh but I did not know that I would be as reeled into this journey of Ally’s and rooting for Ally as much as I was. If you’re into romantic comedies, you’ll love this film. If you’re not, What’s Your Number? will surprise you. There’s just enough crude humour to enjoy the film while not feeling uncomfortable while watching it with your (adult) family.

Don’t let the sexual jokes fool you. This story has heart and I’m not just talking about Ally’s search for love with that special someone. She learns to love herself and be comfortable in her skin after all of the trouble she goes through to take control of her destiny and make it work in the way she naively thought would be best. But sometimes you just have to surrender. Once she did, everything worked out. There’s something that I do not particularly like a bout a woman pursuing a man. So once she allowed for love to come to her instead of the other way around, the pieces fell in her favor.

There were also plenty of familiar faces in the film from Zachary Quinto to Chris Pratt and so on. There’s no shortage of good looking men in this film, that is for sure. Also impressive was the diverse line up of actors, as many I’ve seen more in drama than comedy so their roles here were very refreshing. The casting was superb. If it were any other cast, I don’t think that I would have enjoyed this film as much. That said, this film was also very colorful and bright and the pacing was just right. I enjoyed everything about this film and would recommend that you add it to your Blu-ray/DVD collection. It’s a fun film to pop in anytime and you’ll laugh just as hard as you did the first time around.

Bonus Features:
* What’s Your Number? Extended Cut

Gag Reel (7:15 minutes) – The gag reel is just as hysterical as one would expect but in a twist, intertwined with the outtakes are the cast and crew “admitting” what their number is. It’s a clever twist for a gag reel and makes it all the more fun to watch.

Deleted Scenes (16 minutes) – There are eight deleted scenes for this feature. For the most part, the scenes that were deleted do not progress the story line in any way, so it is completely understandable why they were cut. The best part about this feature comes in the extended flashback date scenes. “Barrell,” “Tom Piper,” and “Jake Flashback” are all very captivating flashbacks which show us how Ally’s relationships worked with certain exs in earlier days. Of the three, “Tom Piper” was the most clever, as it showed the relationship from her ex’s perspective. But “Jake Flashback” gave some great back story, so it is odd that this did not make it into the final version of the film. Perhaps this character in particular was only supposed to be seen one way. And while “Robots and Rainbows” fell flat, watching Ally do the dance in the “Gala” seen was hysterical. Why, oh why, was this seen cut? Finally, “Donald Dances” is more like a fun outtake than anything else. Speaking of… the gag reel on here could have been at least ten minutes. This is Anna Faris in the lead… surely there is more footage.
