I like seeing Matthew Perry in this more belligerent smart-aleck role rather than the innocuous smart-aleck role on "Friends." Amy Adams is the true stand-out in a cast of much more famous and supposedly more seasoned actors. Her bimbo character is so committed. That slow wink... read more

It's a run of the mill comedy with a great cast. Matthew Perry didn't do many movies, but he was good at what he was type-cast to do. Bruce Campbell, Amy Adams, Vincent Pastore and Terry Crews all add to Serving Sara. It has Elizabeth Hurley. One of the most gorgeous women to gra... read more

Insanely ridiculous! Some funny scenes, but overall I'd say this is sleep-inducing, as much as sleeping pills!

This movie is a tremendous amount of fun, and Matthew Perry is my fave star from friends (along with Lisa K.). Liz's performance in this film will remind you of "Bedazzled", another awesomely fun film.

Oh, Matthew Perry. He's always Chandler. Even Elizabeth Hurley has a broader range. I actually really like the two of them but even so, it's still a pretty crappy movie.

I couldn't stop laughing. I can't tell you the part because I don't want to ruin it for you but you will know it.

Fast paced and entertaining, but not especially memorable, and Bruce Campbell was underused. Luckily, Elizabeth Hurly was in her underwear, so that made the rest of the movie worth watching. Actually, the whole cast was pretty good and likeable, which offset the fact that most of... read more
Critic Reviews
The movie itself is a cattle ranch full of joke droppings and mooing shtick not worth stepping in. Full Review
A broadly played, lowbrow comedy in which the cast delivers mildly amusing performances and no farm animals were injured by any of the gags.
With Vicodin-sharp timing, Perry wavers from glib to glazed, seeming to openly rue his miscasting as palookaville process server Joe Tyler. Full Review
[Hell is] looking down at your watch and realizing Serving Sara isn't even halfway through.
Surprisingly amusing.
Serving Sara is little more than a mall movie designed to kill time. Full Review
Late summer is often the dumping ground for comedies that go flat or romances that fizzle. Sara is both. Full Review
The script is clever enough to give Perry a somewhat dignified role as a sarcastic, educated charmer down on his luck. Full Review
