what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

I like David Boreanaz. I put off watching this movie because the first review I read was negative. If you are looking for a g-rated light intensity movie. This is a good choice. It's got a little something for everyone. I'll even admit that I found myself grabbing for a tissue at a pivotal scene toward the end of the movie. It's not just a chick flick. My husband enjoyed the movie as well. David Boreanaz did a good job. Not once did I think, oh look, Angel or Booth dyed their hair blond. It helps that David Boreanaz is especially hot. Alana De La Garza is easy on the eyes also. I don't like mushy love stories. It is a love story, but mushiness is kept at minimum.Give it a chance, hopefully you'll enjoy it as much as we did.Put simply, if you like David Boreanaz, you will enjoy this movie.

I liked this movie very much. It is well written and the acting is superb. A great date movie. I've seen it a few times and it gets better and better. It is a romantic comedy with a plot twist you won't see coming. "Mr. Fix It" is a specialist hired by men who want to get back together with the women who dumped them. He develops a relationship with the ex-girlfriend and proceeds to offend or annoy her so much that she realizes what she really had in her last boyfriend -- causing her to go back to Mr. Fix It's client. This leads to a hilarious sequence of events, which end when Mr. Fix It falls in love with one of the women he was hired to entice.Besides the comedy, there are many touching moments in the film. Good for guys or girls.

I love David Boreanaz, so of course I simply bought Mr. Fix It. The first time I watched it, I realized there may have been a reason it went straight to DVD. I watched it the next day, and I actually like it. It's pretty cute, and has some great one-liners. While it's predictable, and kind of like a backwards Hitch, it's a simply cute romantic comedy with some twists and turns. David Boreanaz is great in a role very different from Angel and Special Agent Seeley Booth, and really gets the opportunity to show off some comedic acting. I recommend this if you're looking for something cute and fun to spend a night.

I rented this low-budget direct-to-DVD flick on Friday night. I watched it again with the director's commentary on later that night, and then watched it with my husband on Saturday afternoon. It held up to the repeated viewings, so that's one thing in its favor.The movie is a romantic comedy starring David Boreanaz. The premise is that while dreaming of racing his Camaro in the town's annual street car race, he runs a business where freshly dumped guys hire him to be the rebound guy for their exes. Mr. Fix-It's goal is to make the ex-boyfriends look "not so bad after all" by taking to extremes whatever qualities the girls think made the ex worth dumping. Of course, the plot thickens when he actually starts to fall for one of his marks ...The low budget nature of the movie and sometimes campy acting actually enhanced my enjoyment as I found its goofy, "lame" quality to be endearing. On the downside, there are some plots and themes that seem underdeveloped. His friendship with his male buddies seems particularly tacked on, and they only show up when the plot demands. More enjoyable was the mentoring relationship he had with the older mechanics who fix up his Camaro.I loved the kicky soundtrack, mostly tunes by The Rosenbergs. I especially like "Birds of a Feather," which plays near the opening and over the credits.David Boreanaz really demonstrates good range here, creating a character totally different from the dark, brooding Angel or even the by-the-book FBI agent he plays in Bones. He made Lance Valenteen very appealing and kept you rooting for him throughout. Watching his performance in this movie made me a bona-fide fan of his! It's interesting to note that while the movie does have some sexual themes and gross out humor, there is no cursing and no nudity (except for some shirtless David Boreanaz!).Go into this movie expecting light entertainment that doesn't take itself too seriously ... and you'll get a few laughs and a positive message to boot.
