At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
... View MoreAfter playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.
... View MoreThe movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.
... View MoreIt is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
... View MoreThis is a teen romantic comedy a notch below and less universal appeal than "An Easy A." Adam (Josh Henderson) has a girlfriend Cynthia Swensen (Jaci Twiss). She dumps him for bad boy Marc Dixon (Abraham Taylor). This leads Adam to believe all women love the "bad boy" or jerk in this case. He does quite well being a jerk, of course playing in a band and being the lead singer never hurts either. Pretty girls throw themselves at him, but he wants Molly (Jenna-Dewan-Tatum) who plays hard to get and demands respect.The scene talks place at a Catholic school with the occasional D.E.B.S. fantasy outfits. Tom Arnold plays a priest who occasional misspeaks in sexual innuendos, such as "So concludes my unit on procreation" or "Easier than a prom date."Danny Bonaduce plays himself in what I thought was the funniest scene in the film. The script is predictable. It also lends itself to some old fashion dating protocol while contrasting it with what not to do. Not a blockbuster, but it was entertaining.PARENTAL GUIDE: No f-bombs, no sex, no nudity (rear male shot, bot on thong). Sexual themes, but no parental embarrassing sex talk. Seems to be a light PG-13.
... View MoreThis film has zero charm or wit (even for a teenage film). The director seems to lack a basic understanding of film conventions, character development and comic timing. The characters are bland and one dimensional. This film is clearly aimed at the teenage market, but the lack of charm, lame and unbelievable characters and formulaic plot will fail to entertain anyone. Spare yourself and avoid this movie. There are plenty of teenage films that are much more fun.Not to mention that this film implies that only one girl in a million isn't a crazy, clingy, bimbo.
... View MoreThis is a nice, light-hearted fun comedy with a good message.Josh Henderson and Jenna Dewan have great chemistry as leading roles in this romantic comedy and both are wonderful actors. Tom Arnold is hysterical and keeps things hoping with never a dull moment. The casting was really good and I really enjoyed Jesse Heiman as the funny chubby kid that thought he really fit in but just never really did.This movie has a fun plot and I found myself laughing through most of the movie. Most High School and college students will really relate to the plot. The high school setting was perfect. I very much liked the ending of the film. A bit like a fairytale.
... View MoreI saw a screening of this film and absolutely loved it. Tom Arnold was phenomenal and had my favorite scene of the movie in the confessional. I look forward to being reeled in by the love story again. It draws you in and pays off in the end. How can you not fall head over heals for the lovely Jenna Dewan? The music was fabulous and gives you some great love songs along with up beat music that is right in line with the comedic aspect of the film. Josh Henderson is the perfect fit for his character and will have every girl from fourteen to forty wishing they were "Molly". It seems that everyone would know someone that fits the profile of each character and we can all relate to the story line.
