Just perfect...
... View MoreThe acting in this movie is really good.
... View MoreIt's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
... View MoreI enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
... View MoreNot the greatest film, but surely entertaining. With Julian McMahon's moronic, self-obsessed Hutch and Alan Tudyk's dorky personality and failures in love...this movie makes for a great laugh and some fun.Although the very end left me sad, for reasons you must figure out on your own, and maybe you never will...I still found this movie to be a good find. I'm glad I received it, it lifted my spirits up...plus Julian McMahon cannot look any hotter and be any funnier. His dead-panned lines are delivered so perfectly, and how he continues to stare off in space is absolutely funny. A great cast, a good script...a good flick!
... View MoreThis was one of the funniest movies that I've seen in a long time. Great cast, with great directing and photography! Loventhal doesn't use gimmicks to get his point across, just the great acting by the entire cast. Each story within itself is funny and enjoyable. The cast all took great character risks and it comes across fantastic! L.A, is such a crazy town and this movie makes you laugh at things that others find "the norm" here in L.A. The relationship between Aisha Tyler and Krista Allen is so entertaining because we see it all the time which makes it sincere and funny at the same time. Julian McMahon is amazingly funny and I love that he can do this and not take himself so seriously. Alan Tudyk's struggles throughout the movie find you routing for him the whole way. Every actor (and then some) needs to see this movie. Very fun and very well made! Congrats to Loventhal for this gem!
... View MoreUsually when a movie goes straight to DVD there's not a lot to look forward to. With Meet Market, I was pleasantly surprised. The overall look and feel is excellent, no shaky camera or impossible to understand sound. Director Charlie Loventhal has crafted a fine, funny, quirky comedy of the universal quest to hook up.Using the aisles of a southern California supermarket as the hunting ground, Meet Market introduces us to an attractive group of hopeless romantics, sexy predators, and just plain horny people.The guys are represented by Alan Tudyk, playing Danny, the ultimate "unlucky at love" loser. Constantly challenged by his personal trainer, played by the uncredited Laurie Holden, to step up and be a man, he is ultimately shocked when he gets his chance to "measure up" to her. He is the perfect combination of uncertainty and ridiculous panic.Also on the male front is Julian McMahon. Leaving the smooth sophistication of his "Nip/Tuck" character behind, McMahon's Hutch is as vapid as they come, a moronic, self-absorbed soap star. McMahon delivers Hutch's absurd pronouncements with deadpan earnestness that is hilarious. His "climactic" revelation of whom he really loves makes you smile and nod your head in agreement.Loventhal has assembled a real bevy of beauties. All are sexy and each has her moments, with Missi Pyle and Laurie Holden particularly funny, and Krista Allen, Elizabeth Berkley and Jennifer Sky steam up the lens. Aisha Tyler is a nice mix of sexiness and propriety. And Suan Egan and Suzanne Krull take us on a walk on the other side of the street.There is no real "story" here, and that's a disappointment. More structure would have been helpful. It's almost like the movie's not quite done. It's more a series of vignettes, of the various people all in the same boat.I would be remiss if I didn't mention David Robbins' jaunty musical score. It keeps things rolling along nicely.All in all, not bad for straight to DVD. I've seen a lot of "sexy comedies" in the past year in theaters that weren't as good.
... View MoreThis is probably one of the funniest movies I've seen lately. I laughed out loud at many spots, something I rarely do. The way it targets the insanity of trying to find that one person who isn't insane or crazy, trying to connect to fill the loneliness,to find that right person is both humorous, and at times, heart rendering.The casting is superb, each melding into the 'type' they are supposed to be. Great characterization particularly from Julien McMahon as the Himbo, Alan Tudyk as the much confused and put upon seemingly 'normal' man, Elizabeth Berkley as the innocent turned Avenging Angel... oh the heck with it, the entire cast are good.Anyone out there dating, especially in L.A. (which is a zoo all unto itself), should see this movie. If for no other reason, than to be able to laugh at yourself. Enjoy!!!
