Sorry, this movie sucks
... View MoreBeautiful, moving film.
... View MoreI think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
... View MoreTrue to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.
... View MoreThis movie was actually really cute! I love the whole premise of them being childhood friends. It was a little corny but surprisingly really funny and sweet! Definitely a feel good movie, the leads and supporting cast were so much like everyday normal people, I liked that it felt real. I'm very happy that I watched it, although the story line was like something I feel has been done, the way that they made everything play out kept it interesting. The lead male was really funny, I liked his comic timing. The lead female was quirky and funny as well! I finished it with a smile on my face! I would definitely recommend this movie, it's a cute chick flick, fun for a girls night in.
... View MoreI really liked this movie--I had to watch it twice. I originally intended to only watch the first 20 minutes and then save the rest for later, but it got started right away with lots of silly moments, had to go ahead at watch the whole thing. The story was super cute and funny, and poked a lot of fun at real relationships--both with lovers, as well as with friends and parents. Obviously with a rom-com you're expecting to go in a certain direction, but that is part of the deal!! I thought the cast was fantastic, and I'd love to see Aubrey Dollar in more movies. The only drawbacks had to do with suspending your disbelief about time and commitments... and would grown up people really do that?? I feel like in real life the risk would just be too obvious, but that's why we like stories--we can 'experience' things that are a little unrealistic in the name of imagination and fun.
... View MoreI won't give you ANY spoilers, but I will say that the cast struggles mightily against a formulaic script. Amy Pohler did a comedy about formulaic movies, and this film reminds me of what she was referencing. The camera work isn't bad. The lighting is OK. The prop people did their job, for the most part. I'm trying to stay positive, here, and that's the best I can do. The only name I recognize is that of Daniel J. Travanti of HILL STREET BLUES fame. It was interesting to see how he's aged (and he has aged--he has a very expressive face in his dotage). I can't in good conscience recommend this movie. It just doesn't have enough good points to merit an investment of a couple of hours.
... View MoreI saw this movie at the Durango, Coolorado film festival and it was a highlight! This movie plays like a love letter to the City of Chicago. The story starts quickly and once the characters get on the plane to Chicago it is full of laughs and smiles and by the end, tears...The actors provided quality performances and there are real sparks. The cinematography was beautiful. Born and raised in Chicago and I felt like I was actually there while watching the movie. There are also nuances in the movie which give homage to recently deceased Chicago director John Hughes as well as other Chicago references which were fun to catch...TWO THUMBS UP! As a footnote everyone should know that this movie shouldn't be characterized as a "chick flick" guys will definitely enjoy this too....
