Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
... View MoreThe acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
... View MoreThis is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
... View MoreAmazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
... View MoreThis movie is so light weight it fails to be interesting. At best, and that's a long shot, it is a chick flick. Much of the plot isn't believable which should be okay for a comedy but the trouble is this isn't funny so it's not a comedy. It is billed as a comedy but I didn't laugh once.Nick Mercer is a dull character throughout the whole movie.The amount Kat paid for a weekend with Nick was ridiculous. I'll be sure to watch out for director Paul Weiland in future movies so I won't wast the time watching them.Cinematography is good, which is the best thing I can say about the movie.Sorry for those who liked this movie. It's just my opinion.
... View MoreKat Ellis (Debra Messing) is stressed out over the marriage between her younger half-sister Amy (Amy Adams) and Edward Fletcher-Wooten (Jack Davenport). She's afraid to run into her ex Jeffrey (Jeremy Sheffield), and she hires a male escort Nick Mercer (Dermot Mulroney) to pose as her boyfriend.It's a British comedy with a bunch of American actors. The transAtlantic jokes aren't translating that well. It has a few mildly humorous jokes, but the movie is overall a rather poor comedy. And it doesn't help that it gets so serious.Debra Messing and Dermot Mulroney have limited chemistry. He's too cold, and a little dirty as a male gigolo. She's too stressed, and a little bit angry. Oddly, they're the only thing worth watching in this movie. The tone is so uneven that it really can't maintain any flow to the movie.
... View MoreStory goes like this Kat Ellis (Messing), who returns to her parents' London home for her sister's wedding is afraid of confronting her ex fiancé, who dumped her two years before, she hires a male escort Nick (Mulroney) to pose as her new boyfriend. And how Kat and Nick come together forms the rest of the story.its good how the characters are introduced and interwoven. The best part is that of Dermot Mulroney. Wow, first of all he is really gorgeous. Next, his role understands women so well. I am the girl who liked Made of honor, Naughty or nice (2012), Holiday in Handcuffs. If you liked those then you will like this movie as well.
... View MoreThe biggest problem with this predictable chick flick is the horrible miscasting of the female lead. NOBODY is going to believe a story with Messing as the femme fatale that is going to make the gigolo give up his career. While she has comic talents, she unfortunately has the body of an anorexic 12-year-old. This simply isn't a role she is able to pull off.The rest of the cast seemed to be able to pull off their shallowly-defined roles, but I don't know if they kept it up through the whole film as I was unable to endure the torture and bailed after the first hour.
