Serving Sara is a predictable mess in terms of writing, but surprisingly the presentation is not.
Serving Sara follows its formula so close that after the first thirty minutes the story begins to drag and scenes last longer than they should.
Serving Sara doesn't focus much on audio quality, but once in a while specific sound effects (and you know which ones) do come off as loud and clear (no pun intended).

 Serving Sara
It falls upon Joe to break to serve the summons to Sara and break the bad news of her pending, and totally unexpected, divorce.

 Serving Sara
His latest job is to serve divorce papers to Sara Moore (Elizabeth Hurley, Bedazzled, The Weight of Water), the trophy wife of Texas millionaire Gordon Moore (Bruce Campbell, Spider-Man, The Majestic).
In this case, the advantage in court (monetarily) will go to the person who serves the divorce papers, so Gordon is doing everything he can to avoid Joe and Sara, and Joe and Sara are trying their darndest to get proof they served Gordon.
Of course a romance blossoms between Joe and Sara, but only because the writers want it to (and of course because the two cannot stand each other at the beginning of the film).

 Serving Sara - DVD Movie Central
My enjoyment of Serving Sara had to be based on a rare element; I had to forgive it for having the lack of an intriguing premise.

Serving Sara is high on serving the laughs at a multiple pace.

Sara ends up sliding down a luggage chute at an airport and Joe then falls down it as well as lands between her spread legs.
Sara's pants leg then gets caught on a conveyor belt and so Joe unbuttons and starts to pull down her pants that then rip in half.
Sara learns that her husband is serving her divorce papers when Joe delivers them to her and then briefly reacts accordingly (crying, etc.), but most of the material regarding that is not played realistically and instead is present for comedy.

 Serving Sara review *1/4 - CTF, Elizabeth Hurley, Matthew Perry
Sara was momentarily shocked by her husband's action, and like in any unrealistic film of this type, she quickly pulled herself together for the sake of the supposed forthcoming humor.
After serving Sara, Joe unexpectedly encountered her again on a bus that was leaving town.
With flat and almost nonexistent humor, "Serving Sara" was another film that will make you wish that you had done something else with your two hours and price of admission.

 Serving Sara
Perry's character, Joe, and Sara (Elizabeth Hurley), a wealthy woman to whom he was supposed to serve divorce papers, team up to salvage her share of her cattle baron husband's fortune, and end up being chased through Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.
We're supposed to believe that Joe and Sara's shared greed has turned to love, which manifests itself in the form of tentative kisses in a hotel suite, with a soft-rock soundtrack and a bubble bath waiting in the background.
Sara, by the way, has perfect makeup even when she wakes in the morning, and at one point avoids receiving her divorce papers by hiding in an Estee Lauder spa, the cosmetics company for which Hurley's been a spokeswoman for years, with far greater success than she's had as an actress.

 Serving Sara - Cranky Critic® Movie Reviews   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
For those of you lucky enough never to be sued, process servers are the intimidating punks that sneak up on you and, by whatever means necessary at whatever times necessary, use deceit, lies, misdirection and maybe a wink and a kiss, all to put a stamped and sealed piece of legalized paper in (your) hand.
Serving Sara is a story of a fierce and vicious rivalry between two New York based process servers and how a pretty young target pushes said rivalry over the proverbial cliff.
Then Serving Sara may pass as a dateflick, and a totally disposable one at that.

Immediately after serving Sara her due, Joe is offered an opportunity he can't refuse: help Sara to serve Gordon her papers first and he can have $1 million from the divorce settlement.
Serving Sara was directed by Reginald Hudlin, whose last film was the SNL based The Ladies' Man.
Since Serving Sara is a (mostly) dialogue driven comedy, it's wasn't surprising to find this mix to be front heavy with only a few scattered directional effects throughout.

To change the formula a bit, Serving Sara puts Perry in a slightly scruffier mode, and pairs him with an actress whose sexiness and comic aplomb should be a good counterpart to his wonderfully shticky style: Elizabeth Hurley.

 Modamag.com | Serving Sara - Elizabeth Hurley, Matthew Perry (Movie Review)
“Serving Sara” is the first film without any personal stamp from Hudlin, trading his more agreeable comedic tastes for those he assumes will appeal to a wider audience.
Their story of a conflicted process server is an interesting one, and if you sit there and think about the potential of the premise, you can come up with ten times funnier stuff than the two screenwriters did.
Consider this: “Serving Sara” has a scene in which Joe must massage a bull’s prostate to get the beast to mount an artificial cow.

 SERVING SARA
Sara is about a New York City-based process server named Joe Tyler (Matthew Perry, The Whole Nine Yards) who, as the film opens, displays his unique talents by crashing an illegal mob-run casino in order to serve a Mafia boss (Joe Viterelli, Analyze This).
Instead they fight over the mark, a very pretty Englishwoman named Sara Moore (Elizabeth Hurley, Bedazzled) who is in New York and is about to be slapped with a divorce suit by her rich Texan husband (Bruce Campbell, The Majestic).
Sara is directed by Reginald Hudlin (The Ladies Man) and written by Jay Scherick and David Ronn, who have also penned the upcoming I Spy remake with Eddie Murphy and Owen Wilson (I can practically hear myself not laughing already).

 KINNOPIO - Serving Sara
That much goes according to plan, but then Sara convinces Joe to flip his mark and serve divorce papers on her no-good husband -- that way she’ll get half of their $20 million estate, of which she promises a cool million to Joe as incentive.
So Joe and Sara fly to Texas, where the movie turns to an hour’s worth of semi-funny gags and routines, most of which involve the supposed awkwardness of New Yorkers outside of the Big Apple (and more importantly on a Texas cattle ranch -- ahh, the old loafer-in-a-pile-of-cow-dung joke).
Serving Sara, however, is more on par with the screwball likes of Almost Heroes, the regrettable adventure he undertook with the late Chris Farley in 1998.

 Serving Sara

Tell Me More About It: "Serving Sara" is a blatant attempt to cash in on the star power of Matthew Perry and Elizabeth Hurley.
Hoping fans are too stupid to notice the idiocy of this plot, the filmmakers are betting that Perry can ride on the frenzy of "Friends" and Hurley can hide her absence of acting talent behind a bodacious bod and the memory of Austin Powers.

 The Movie Chicks - Review - Serving Sara
Gordon (Bruce Campbell) is a wealthy Texan who wants a divorce from Sara (Elizabeth Hurley) - if he serves her papers first, the divorce happens in Texas and he gets to keep all his millions.
When Joe serves Sara, she makes a counter offer: Joe pretends he never served Sara and she'll hire him to process Gordon - the divorce will take place in New York, she'll get half, and Joe gets one million dollars for his trouble.
The one and only laugh-out-loud moment is just disgusting - not to give it away, but it includes an uncooperative bull, a process server undercover as a vet, a hefty bag on the arm, and lots of lubricant - need I say more.
