GazerRise Fantastic!
Seraherrera The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
Rachel A Jackson Really entertaining for the movie it is. The family members are fun and the two leads are enjoyable and have quite a bit of chemistry. Great afternoon movie you'll enjoy. The story has enough sweet moments and funny ones, as well, to keep you smiling.
tiffanyschatz I really liked this movie--I had to watch it twice. I originally intended to only watch the first 20 minutes and then save the rest for later, but it got started right away with lots of silly moments, had to go ahead at watch the whole thing. The story was super cute and funny, and poked a lot of fun at real relationships--both with lovers, as well as with friends and parents. Obviously with a rom-com you're expecting to go in a certain direction, but that is part of the deal!! I thought the cast was fantastic, and I'd love to see Aubrey Dollar in more movies. The only drawbacks had to do with suspending your disbelief about time and commitments... and would grown up people really do that?? I feel like in real life the risk would just be too obvious, but that's why we like stories--we can 'experience' things that are a little unrealistic in the name of imagination and fun.
mikasparky I won't give you ANY spoilers, but I will say that the cast struggles mightily against a formulaic script. Amy Pohler did a comedy about formulaic movies, and this film reminds me of what she was referencing. The camera work isn't bad. The lighting is OK. The prop people did their job, for the most part. I'm trying to stay positive, here, and that's the best I can do. The only name I recognize is that of Daniel J. Travanti of HILL STREET BLUES fame. It was interesting to see how he's aged (and he has aged--he has a very expressive face in his dotage). I can't in good conscience recommend this movie. It just doesn't have enough good points to merit an investment of a couple of hours.
kosmasp Maybe the hitch is not sweet, but the movie itself is. You could argue about the characters a bit I reckon. But I really do like the movie, even though it has clichés (which feed into the sweet notion of it of course) and is predictable as it gets. Still the actors can pull off the obvious and work with it.Since this is a romantic comedy and even the poster/cover art is pretty much revealing, we do know where this is heading, but the ride to get there has to be fun. And if you let yourself into it, than this ride can be a lot of fun. While not the best movie you've seen or will see, this is pretty decent indeed
