... View MoreEasily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
... View MoreThis movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
... View MoreIt is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
... View MoreFor those who have missed this gem of a movie, hurry over to Blockbuster or Hollywood Video and give it a rent.Often overlooked because of its release, I believe this charming romantic comedy has all the classic elements of the big blockbuster-types starring Meg Ryan or Julia Roberts. Monica Potter is truly unique in her portrayal of Lucy and a must see for fans of her careerEnjoy!
... View MoreI'm with Lucy (2002) is a dumb movie with nothing to recommend it. The star, Monica Potter, has been called "the poor man's Julia Roberts," but Julia Roberts can act, and Monica can't. (Maybe she can, but she doesn't demonstrate any acting ability in this film.)Will Lucy marry the arrogant orthopedic surgeon? Will she find true love with someone humbler? Do I care? Does anybody care?If you want to watch Julia Roberts, watch the real thing. "Accept no substitutes."
... View MoreI loved Monica Potter in 'The Very Thought of You,' and was excited to see this 2002 romantic comedy starring the actress. Like 'The Very Thought of You,' 'I'm With Lucy' has a wacky premise: show the audience five different guys' dates with one girl, and hint that she'll marry one of them before the movie's over. It almost sounds like a concept for a reality show, and maybe it would have made a better tv show than a movie.The storytelling mechanism (a little snippet of each of the five dates, then the cycle begins again) is gutsy, and I was intrigued by the idea. However, somewhere during all those dates, we lose track of who Lucy really is... She's drunk in one, and in all the others, seems strangely affected by the man she's with. She's a bit too chameleon-like for me to relate to, I guess.The guys are all interesting... I especially liked John Hannah as Doug, though I may be biased since I adored him in Sliding Doors. The others are good, nothing horrible about their performances.I think the main problem was the script. I kept cringing at the lines, which made the actors appear as if they were trying so hard to make this movie work that they didn't have any fun. But, as I was reminded by someone the other day, good actors can't save a movie -- they can only elevate it. I think Monica Potter and the other's elevated 'I'm With Lucy', but alas, they couldn't save it.I do look forward to Monica's next foray into the genre. She can be fun to watch if given the right script and support.
... View MoreI think this film deserves a lot more attention than it actually gets - it is as enjoyable as "Notting Hill". If you like romantic comedies you should not miss this one. John Hannah and Henry Thomas are very well casted and fit perfect into their roles. Very funny film and a nice story - 8/10.
