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 .
