Really Surprised!
... View MorePerfectly adorable
... View MoreThe movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
... View MoreThis is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
... View MoreIt was late and I didn't want to go to sleep right away, and I was flipping through HBO channels when Paula Patton caught my eye, I switched back to the channel and began watching it.*************Spoiler********************** I was on the part where she was in the bushes, spying on a guy and his pregnant wife. I had never even heard of this movie before, but the actress was hot, as the movie went a long I had already figured out the entire story, I knew who her lover would, but I still found it cute.This is the reason why I called it "Porno?" the characters were so perfect, and the definition was so great, and the acting was so (I'm sorry) terrible! (Made me laugh though) that I thought eventually Paula was going to take off her clothes. (Not that I watch those HBO specials...)Either way I was happy to find out that it wasn't, and fell in love with Paula myself, just love her smile! But that's that.
... View MoreThis was an excellent movie with a terrific overall message. I wholeheartedly recommend this movie with the exception of the 20 second political intrusion. Everything was great (albeit, somewhat predictable)- a good cast, a good story, a good message- all marred by making the stupid political statement and ridiculous (ignorant) false characterizations of a black Republican. Everything positive in this feature epitomizes what the black republican caucus stands for; but, makes the fatal mistake of inserting - radical/partisan/incorrect/misguided politics into an otherwise great flick! The producers need to check their facts and realize the a stable, enlightened, secure, committed, family-oriented,woman-honoring, independent-thinking, well-educated, good-triumphs-over-evil characters in a movie is what the general audience wants (demands) to see and is very REPUBLICAN by definition! They should either leave the politics OUT or, at least, be accurate in labeling that idiot wanna-be senator as a stupid, brainwashed, stereo-typical, misogynistic, ideologue WITHOUT party affiliation!
... View More"It's not a man I need, it's a husband, a potential husband in a month." Montana (Patton) is going to be a bridesmaid at her sisters wedding. She is excited for her but also depressed because her younger sister is getting married before her. When she tells her friends they come up with a plan. She will meet all of her ex's one more time and try to find a husband before the wedding date which is 30 days away. I have to admit right off that this is not usually my type of movie. I'm not huge into romantic comedies so I wasn't all that excited about watching this. While I will admit I have seen worse my biggest complaint with movies is some are way too predictable and when you know the outcome 5 minutes in the movie becomes a little boring and loses magic. This is one of those movies. It wasn't even like it was a surprise twist either, when the star says I'm never gonna find a husband and instantly someone she has known forever walks into the screen...DING DING DING! An hour and a half later...told you. I know movies like this aren't supposed to have a lot of twists but this was so predictable that it made every other scene meaningless there was no "will she pick him" feeling. That made the movie boring to me. Overall, way too predictable to be enjoyable. I give it a C.
... View MoreBy Jonathan L HermittAfter watching this movie, the only thing that should be "claimed" is a refund. Director-writer David E Talbert provided a creatively idle rom-com starring Paula Patton (Montana Moore); as a flight attendant who under the pressure of her mother (Jennifer Lawrence) and the wedding engagement of her younger sister (Lauren London) somehow finds herself in a position where she has to locate and bring a fiancé to her sister's rehearsal dinner in thirty days. In doing so, she uses her friends to set up an arguably illegal "spy network" to find out which of her ex- boyfriends are taking which flights- so she can manipulate herself aboard and hopefully start again with these men.She wears the long, straight rom-com hair of ignorance with the smile of innocence which I like to call a ritual of rom-com. The story was naturally predictable adhering to every single rom-com textbook story model and so heavily resting on weak humour. Alongside the contemporary traditional female friend and gay male friend duo (similar to Devil's Wear Prada) it's one large equation for mediocre...if that. I'm not particularly familiar with Talbert and this is the first film I've seen of his, regardless, in this film it's strongly indicative that he's chosen quantity over quality.
