... View MoreI like Black Panther, but I didn't like this movie.
... View MoreThe story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
... View MoreThe movie really just wants to entertain people.
... View MoreSup, people! I watched the movie while waiting to my medical appointment. Dare I say: these movie sucks like my cancer. Actually, if I had to choose between this movie and the latter, the dilemma would be good. The movie is, essentially, about a really great whore who tries to decide which of the two goofies she is going to settle down for good (she is a "poor waitress"). Her dilemma is solved through empirical experience (she secretly hook up with both of them). The first thing that naturally came to my mind was: what if it was the opposite? (a dude choosing between 2 chicks). I went through 3/4 of this film. "Luckily", I was called to my consult. I told my doctor about what i had just seen and he became worried that this movie might have worsen my disease. PS - also, this movie may have caused temporary dick detachment.
... View MoreThe best thing about the film is the title. It got me curious, then I decided to give it a try to learn what's that mean. Love triangle is something what I anticipated, but to know how good it is going to be was my eagerness. I did not know anybody from it, well, except Alyssa Milano. It was a low cost film, but production was good. The opening was decent, so expected a fine development and conclusion. Then did I disappointed with it? Well, a little!It got me. At one point I predicted it entirely wrong. I realised that only during the final few minutes. Yep, the actors were good and so the fairly fitting ending, but for some people that might look like a grand twist. I think the writing, including dialogues and direction was better than I expected. Feels like it is an ordinary version of 'Ruby Sparks'. If you had liked that, probably you would like it as well, though it is not a fantasy.Whatever you thought of it, the last 5-10 minutes makes you change your stance, that's how it is designed. So it is not a best romance- comedy, but a watchable one for being slightly original. I would surely give a thumbs up to you to go for it, only if you say you won't try to predict it, but try to watch it like the normal people. In my opinion, that's how it to be watched for the maximum benefit.6/10
... View MoreWhen I read the synopsis for this film I thought it sounded like a good romance. A film about a girl who has been unlucky in love then finds herself having to choose between two men. The film follows the character of Jessie (a waitress) who meets Ethan (a writer). He's struggling to get any of his manuscripts published and is about to give up on his dream of becoming a novelist until he meets Jessie. She inspires him to never give up on his dream but whilst Jessie's inspiring Ethan to write, she's also dating Troy (a man who works in advertising). The film follows Jessie as she simultaneously dates both men whilst keeping it a secret from each other. We see her struggle as she tries to decide which guy is right for her.Seeing her cheat on Ethan (who appeared to perfect in so many ways) was frustrating. My heart was breaking for him as she continued to see Troy behind his back. She seemed to have no conscience as she pinned the two men against each other - unable to decide who she preferred. Then just when you think she's going to do the right thing and come clean to Ethan there is a shock twist that I did not see coming - a twist that completely transforms the film! It goes from being a simple romantic tale with a frustrating leading lady to something else entirely. And to think I spent most of the film hating Jessie for cheating on Ethan...
... View MoreIn an attempt to stretch too far Daryn Tufts almost capsizes his debut full length directorial. A script that is written on a basic platform Tufts explores his minds creativity by adding in a twist that which certainly is clever. My Girlfriends Boyfriend isn't the obvious tale of a girl torn between 2 men as the trailer implies, instead it's a movie with massive potential which Tufts fails to discover. Primarily due to the reason the main line theme of a writer seeking for inspiration is overcast by the prominence given to the budding sideline theme of love. My Girlfriends Boyfriend hence falls amongst the vast numbers of Rom-Com movies and disappears without making a noteworthy mark. Ethan who is played by Christopher Gorham is a writer who has failed on many attempts to have his work published. Ethan's work seems to lack the creativity that publishers seek and is cast aside as too generic. The flare of the protagonist isn't exactly written in the flamboyant manner that publishers seem as commercially valuable. Ethan who is seeking inspiration meets Jesse who is very poorly played by Alyssa Milano. Jesse who is single and is divorced as predicted is this long lost inspiration Ethan needs. The exchanging of phone numbers seals the deal for the first date. Tufts first flaw is at this point when Troy walks in and meets Jesse, the core theme gets sidelined and a love triangle is given prominence. Troy who is played by Michael Landes is a successful advertising executive who comes through as too good to be true. It's obvious that Tufts makes this choice of sidelining the main theme deliberately so that the twist in the end would dazzle the average viewer. In this case for me he fails to bring the movie back in completely thus wasting his own efforts on a good script. Think of it like this. It's like being on a date. While you drive for dinner on the freeway, you take a detour through a scenic countryside to impress the other and end up getting lost! Christopher Gorham and Micheal Landes stand well ahead in terms of performance with comparison to Alyssa Milano. Gorham could not have done a better job with a convincing Ethan. The underdog which is Ethan is what pull the movie through to the finish line even with low ratings. It's surprising to see how Milano plays Jesse. If it's done with intent or if it's done under specific directions of Tufts is what makes it even more difficult to watch. Alyssa Milano this time is written off as quite difficult to tolerate watching. Title: My Girlfriends Boyfriend Directed by: Daryn Tufts Starring: Alyssa Milano, Micheal Landes and Christopher Gorham Rated: PG Rating: 05/10 84 Minutes
