How Do You Know is a romantic comedy , that is without the romance or the comedy .The Romance is suppose to rotate around professional baseball player Lisa Jorgenson, an executive George Madison and a major-league pitcher "Matty".
The Love Triangle storyline does not seem to work mostly because the characters are not in love . Lisa and Matty are together from before the begining of the film , so we never see them meet , they only seem to be together due to the fact that they are both professionals in the same sport. Should they wed and move on in life , to expect the children to dominate the sport of Baseball . George Madison, however is around taking advantage of the rocky relationship between Lisa and Matty .
The Comedy comes from situation to situation , and is never the same format twice . Witty comments lead to Revealing Facts to MisSpoken words to Misunderstandings , and rather than being a smooth comedy , the audience is unaware of what is going to be thrown at them next .
To add to the mayhem , everyone is in a CRISIS mode , with Lisa being dropped from her team , George begin charge with a federal crime , and Matty trying to have; what appears to be his first or last "SERIOUS" relationship in his life with Lisa . Meanwhile George's Father Charles Madison, played by Jack Nicholson, is trying to keep his son out of jail , for good measure.
The problem is the CRISIS mode , plays as a back drop for the romance , it is never really addressed , and is never really resolved . While the romance playing the lead in the storyline , has everyone confused and off-balanced . Social issues learnt by most of us , by our first loves and high school romances , were skipped over by all of the love triangle characters . Characters being in their 30s , but behaving like this is their first time in a romantic relationship , is not bought by the audience . The level of maturity for people in their 30s is not there .

Movie rated 2/10. It gets 2 for the big named actors in it. Other than that it was poor, not romantic nor funny. The audience was disconnected from the characters and one often asked the question "who is really like this in real life" throughout the movie. It was poor, don't waste your money to go see this film.
