Imagine you find the girl of you dreams. She is hot and sexy and you have a great time together. The sex is phenomenal, but the second before you pop the "big question" you find out that she's you sister! Say It Isn’t So is the new comedy from the guys who brought you There Something About Mary. This is sort of a new spin of the classic "boy meets girl" story: Boy falls in love with girl; Boy loses girl.

Gilbert Noble (Chris Klein) is looking for the perfect girl. Well, he found her: a hairdresser who has the 'crazy cuts' in town, Josephine Wingfield (Heater Graham). They start a love affair and having the best time of their life. That is until the bad news hit them: They are brother and sister.

Josephine leaves him and the town to start a new life. Gilbert tries to do the same, but he can't forget her. Surprisingly, he hears the news that she is not his sister. Gilbert embarks on a cross-country chase to get her back, which is going to be one funny trip.

Say It Isn’t So was a very funny movie. Here are some good and bad things about the movie.

The Goods:
1. The story was funny; I liked it.
2. The cast did a good job; especially Chris Klein and Heather Graham (the cast member every guy is keeping an eye on). She was very good and as far as her looks... wow! 
3. The story had a little of the Farrelly Brothers feel to it. Even though they didn't direct, J.B Rodgers did a good job.
4. A lot of funny jokes. 
5. The ending of the film was the best part with lots of fun.

The Bad (you'll know if you've seen the movie):
1. They had some more crap jokes. Enough with the crap jokes, you know. We've seen them forever. How many times do we need to see these? 
2. The cow joke was funny, but kind of stupid and lame. 
3. Even though I liked the story, enough with the formulaic love stories of which we see tons of.

Overall, Say It Isn’t So was a very funny movie. It will make you laugh. I still recommended it to all of you even though of some of the bad things I mentioned. Go see this movie and get good laughs out of it.
