Sorry, this movie sucks
Robert Joyner
The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin
The movie really just wants to entertain people.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Written & directed by Julie Davis, who stars as the title character- 29 year old best-selling Los Angeleno self-help author & celibate Amy Mandell who advises woman do not need men to be successful. There is also lesbianism at play, in the form of Amy's lecherous publicist Janet (Caroline Aaron- a Woody Allen veteran) who seeks to control & prey upon Amy's emotional anomy with thinly-veiled barbs about her looks. Amy is a typical Ivy League yenta who does not follow her own advice. Inside, she desperately wants love, but falls for jerks. The latest is a Howard Stern wannabe named Matthew Starr (Nick Chinlund). Amy does his radio show & falls for him, despite their banal pattering battle of the sexes. Yet, 1 can tell that they hit it off right away. He seems to be not as bad as he seems, but the set up veers away from triteness because we soon find out that while he's not the pig he plays he has deeper issues that will kibosh any relationship. & Amy is not the basket case we think, & have seen a 100 times before. Her problem is more profound: she actually is a well-adjusted person. This is shown in some funny scenes where the Jewish Amy seeks free counseling by going to confession with a priest (Jeff Cesario) who slowly falls in love with her despite his exasperation…. Here is the film's only real failing- that it copped out with what seems like an appeal for commercial over artistic success. Matthew & Amy's relationship will never last.

This movie is absolutely dreadful. It was written and directed by one Julie Davis, who also has the ignominy of "starring" in it as the title character. The plot is a bunch of romance / relationship story clichés. The dialogue is stilted and obnoxious. All of the characters speak in the same manner, and their tired psycho-babble monologues all have one obvious source (Julie Davis apparently), and to make matters worse none of it is surprising or new or interesting or original in the least, just a bunch of witless repetition.This movie is billed as a comedy, but the jokes mostly fall flat. I should have turned the TV off 15 minutes into this thing, but sometimes I get the urge to "rubberneck" at ugly train wrecks like this one, all the while wondering exactly how much money was wasted in producing it, as well as wondering why the "Sundance" channel was airing it instead of a test pattern or an infomercial.

What starts out as a mildly charming and satisfying movie, ends up as a disaster close to the finish line. 15 minutes into Amy's O, you'll have little question about how the story will play out. The issue is the sloppiness of the final act. It feels like a complete abrupt cop-out. Even some of the dialogue in the final scene is re-dubbed without consideration to matching lip movements. Did they run out of money?
It's a shame because despite the obvious flaws, the movie did offer some charming moments. Unfortunately, it's not enough to recommend it based on the ending.

This movie was very similar in dialogue to another movie I rented called "100 girls" the whole movie the star is discussing the difference between men and women, and it goes on, and on, and on. It has a descent, yet predictable plot, but you really get sick of hearing all the differences and theories about what makes men and women different.
