As if exams werent enough, her ex-boyfriend seems to be back after mysteriously disappearing two years ago. To add a little more grease to the fire, his case has been reopened for investigation, with Benjamin Bratt on the prowl after returning to the force as a recovering alcoholicwhy this alcohol thing is part of the movie is beyond us. Zooey Deschanel steals Holmes thunder as the slutty chick who knows what frat boys want and is willing to give it to themslinging one-liners all the while. Bratt still looks young enough to hit on college chicks and does exactly that, as Holmes bats her eyelashes and plays along. If spotting the ending werent so easy, this wouldnt be so terriblebut the film banks on a surprise thats given away too early to hold the suspense until the end.
