FrogGlace In other words,this film is a surreal ride.

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

livi313 I thought the first half of the movie was fantastic; the use of color, the eccentricity of Frankie, the main character, and just the general way in which this "conventional" romantic comedy added its own ticks and quirks (with an infusion of Frank Sinatra) held so much promise.From this first half I was prepared to absolutely fall in love with this movie. The leads were charismatic and the chemistry was good and everything seemed in place. But everything starts unraveling in the second half; things happen too fast, things seem too absolute, emotions are strange and constantly changing (telling someone that you don't want a relationship with her... and then sleeping with your head in her lap and kissing her/holding her hand on the way home...) and things generally don't seem to progress rationally.still, it was worth watching just for the artistic novelty and the amazing first half.

dwpollar 1st watched 1/8/2006, 5 out of 10(Dir-Tiffanie Debartolo): Promising romantic comedy that doesn't quite deliver. It's hard for me to put a finger on why this movie stopped working for me about the time it changed from black&white to color when the heroine, Frankie(played by Ione Skye)meets her hopeful blue-eyed knight in shining armor, David(played by Mackenzie Austin), but in the next few sentences I'm going to try and explain. The players don't do a bad job but you get the feeling that the Hollywood happy ending is going to transpire too early on, and the interest in the rest of the movie becomes lacking. Ione plays a woman who hasn't got a good night's sleep since her parents died in a car crash at age six, and I think her hope in life has been diminishing from that point in time as well. Jennifer Anniston plays her happy-go-lucky actor friend who plays her comforter and tries to cheer her up as well as her gay cousin but neither are very successful. Frankie is looking for the blue-eyed Frank Sinatra-type to whisk her off her feet as Frank S. had done in real life with her father by giving him a break in the music business a long time ago. That man comes along in David Shrader(or at least she thinks so) but he's been dragging along a girlfriend for a few years and we're all waiting for him to wake-up, smell the coffee and go for Frankie. I won't give away the ending, although I've hinted at it already, but "you know what" eventually happens. The supporting cast is very good in this movie, but the main characters don't quite pull it off in this hopeful, but in-the-end flat, romantic flick.

Jamie Blanks I bought this Movie on VHS recently over here in England, i usually buy dvd's, but sometimes find cheap movies on vhs hard to resist sometimes!!! Anyway when i first started to watch this movie, it was in black & white & my first thoughts were OH NO MY TAPE IS BUGGERED!!! But luckily about 15 minutes in or so it changed to colour, i had no idea that this movie started out in black & white, maybe it should have said colour & black & white on the box!!! I found this movie a bit hard to get into at first, then i got a little more into it eventually!!! This movie had a lot of VERY annoying jazz music on the soundtrack early on & this nearly put me off completely, it seemed too loud too, i found it way too distracting, it was nearly as loud as the dialogue!!!Apart from those glitches the story was ok, a bit different to other Romantic Comedies, it almost felt like this was based on a play, as there's very little in the way of action!!! It's all set mainly indoors too, apart from a scene on the beach, where Ione Skye is walking & talking with the guy she has a thing for (In a big way) i forget his name right this second!!! Basically though you no the way it's gonna end up before the conclusion!!! But since it's pretty different to other Romantic Movies, it's worth a watch, but it ain't exactly fast paced either, so it takes a bit of patience!!! It's best if you watch it in bed late at night, otherwise if your anything like me, you will not be able to keep still for the 90 minutes or so running time!!!

skunkgirl4God This movie is perfect for a generation that has grown up surrounded by the media. It is filled with quotes from books, songs, and movies! The movie even opens with Skye dressed as if she had stepped out of the opening scene of "Breakfast at Tiffany's." Each character is unique and quirky but is written so well that you feel as though you are hanging out with them. The movie has a slow moment here and there, but no slower than a brief bored moment you might spend with friends. This movie is also perfect for you if you love Frank Sinatra, because of the continual references to him and because some of his best songs are played in the movie. I think the transition from black and white was artistic and pulls you into the moment. It also shows you the hope "Frankie" feels in that moment which draws you further into the characters personality and emotions. Overall I think the movie is a classic that too few people have heard of or seen.
