Very well executed

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

I am actually pretty easy to please when it comes to movies. I like most of them. Even if they are very formulaic as long as I am entertained I am usually happy. But this movie couldn't pass for me.The main reason is that I just felt nothing positive for the both lead lead characters. They are so incredibly bland and stiff that it is even hard to see why they like each other. Why would anybody like them, let alone fall in love with them? One really feels more humanity, character and interesting personality in Jodi's boyfriend Daniel (Gil Bellows). Actually the end makes me happy not so much for her as for him, he finally got rid of this boring woman.Can't say the movie is absolutely awful. Besides the total failure with both leads the rest of the cast is pretty good. And we see a lot of hilarious moments. The auditions for example were a hilarious sequence. Especially the belly dancer guy. If only the main characters got some personality and some less cringe worthy dialogue the movie could have been good.

Maybe it is a cultural thing, I'm from New York originally and now live in LA, but this is an absolute shocker of a movie. I assumed it was a first time director who'd raided his daddies piggy bank, but it seems he's made movies before! (I still stick with the piggy bank view though, because who else would give this guy money). I think I'm probably ranting more than usual because of the overall sexist view the film takes, which in this day and age should just not be a thing. I shouldn't be surprised coming from a TV movie, but the screenplay was nowhere near good enough to shoot from. I don't think they were trying to be outdated and sexist, but those feelings are just there in plain sight. I found this when I was travelling with a movie in Europe and thought it would be a nice gentle movie to fall asleep to, but I ended up writing my first ever review on IMDB just for it! If you care about more modern ways of viewing women, and quite frankly good movies, avoid this at all costs. I feel sorry for some of the cast though, they had a tough time with that screenplay and I don't blame them at all!

I think I missed the joke about what this film is supposed to be. I gave it two stars instead of one just in case it is some satirical comment that I missed... But I somehow doubt it. The writing is sloppy and not as witty as I think the writer thinks it is, it's not badly put together, but the direction is worthy of a terrible TV movie, just get it done and lets get to the bar, kind of approach. It's also a terrible representation of women. I watched it because I was trying to give the director another chance after watching an appalling movie by him and my Catholic guilt made me try and give him another go. I've learnt my lesson... No more second chances.

A feel good intercontinental love story, encompassed by undeniable humor, indifference, understanding and some good old nostalgia. Subtly taking on everything you would expect to see in the ingredients for a perfect love story: wholesome, healthy and fulfilling.Leading Lady left me smiling and believing that love will always prevail, be it in a big city or on a small farm forgotten by time, held together by hope. If you do anything this weekend - make sure it includes Leading Lady and some popcorn!A definite 10/10
