Over two thirds of Australians have attempted to get back with an ex but only 15% have succeeded.
With Valentine’s Day fast approaching, it appears a growing number of Australian’s are ‘recycling’ ex-partners, as opposed to looking for brand new romance…
According to a poll* conducted by Twentieth Century Fox, 65% of people surveyed have tried to get back together with an ex-partner with 15% believing it was the best thing ever! The results have shown that like Ally Darling, played by Anna Faris, in the romantic comedy WHAT’S YOUR NUMBER? Aussies are keen to give relationships another go, in the hope of finding the ‘one’. WHAT’S YOUR NUMBER? is a fresh and funny tale about dating, relationships and ex-boyfriends and was released on Blu-ray and DVD today.
Even if a relationship is dead and buried, it seems Australians are still reluctant to sever all ties. Just 32% of people surveyed deleted an ex on Facebook after they split up with 60% of people stating they use social media sites like Facebook, to keep a track on what their ex is up to.
For Aussies who are still hoping to rekindle romance with an ex, Anna Faris has a few words of wisdom. “Just because you dumped him once, it doesn’t mean he belongs in the dump. Men are like grass clippings, paper bags, chicken bones and old cars… They can be useful again!”
In WHAT’S YOUR NUMBER? marketing executive Ally Darling (Anna Faris) begins to panic after reading a magazine article which insists that if a woman has slept with 20 people or more, they have already missed Mr. Right. With the help of her hunky new neighbour (Chris Evans) Ally starts tracking down all her exes, hoping to find her real true love, while she helps him escape his latest fling. Hilarious adventures ensue as Ally goes on her wild search for the best ‘ex’ of her life, only to find what she is looking for has been right in front of her all along.
Featuring hysterical supporting performances from Chris Pratt (Moneyball, Parks and Recreation), Joel McHale (The Soup, Community) and Andy Samberg (Saturday Night Live, Hot Rod), WHAT’S YOUR NUMBER? is based on the book ‘20 Times a Lady’ by Karen Bosnak. It’s also packed with laugh-out-loud bonus material including deleted scenes and gag reel, plus an even raunchier extended cut of the film not seen in cinemas!
