Nice effects though.
... View MoreI like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
... View MoreThe plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
... View MoreAn old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
... View MoreThis movie was very much about character development, and people growing through situations that could easily occur. Even the narrator played by Bray Poor (the Asshole') grew from being a non-caring jerk to being someone with feelings who took some honorable actions. Ron Livingston, the lead, did a fine job of making the guy believable without using any of the over-the-top cliched actions or situations some many other movies might use. He made you care about him and his plight without being a total dork. Amanda Peet was, as usual, just hot as hell but it was Cara Buono who stole the screen. Okay, I admit it, she's a girl I could see myself falling for madly just as ... (oops, don't want to spoil the movie for the rest of you who haven't seen it.) All in all, a really great romantic movie. Definitely in my top 100.
... View MoreThe plot of Two Ninas is a familiar one, revolving around Marty, a perennial failure with women who wishes he could be more like his player friend, Dave. Marty gets his chance when circumstances contrive to introduce him to two women, who both happen to be named Nina. Marty begins dating them both, and the film traces the progress of the two relationships. All of this is fairly conventional, but the film is very well written, and well executed. The dialogue is generally believable, and there are many genuine laughs. Of course, as is obligatory in such films, it takes Marty far longer than it does the audience -- or any reasonable person -- to realize which Nina is right for him, and, inevitably, his realization comes too late to avoid disaster. The movie falters, moreover, at the ending, which anybody who has ever seen a movie will see coming from a mile away. Nevertheless, getting there is considerably more than half the fun, and the trip is worth taking. All romantic comedy fans should enjoy it.
... View MoreSome romantic comedies have that one scene that everyone remembers - like Meg Ryan showing Billy Crystal how she can "fake it" in When Harry Met Sally. Well, this movie has a ton of them (although none better than the double-date at the restaurant!). Neil Turitz, in his debut as both writer and director, puts together a wonderfully refreshing piece in a genre that has become staler than stale. Well-written, with fine acting performances, make this quite a charmer. See this movie if you get the chance!!!
... View MoreA way-better-than average romantic comedy that rises well above the "Three's Company" stupidity syndrome that plagues many films of the genre. The acting is tight, the characters are sympathetic and believable, and the story holds together well. The film takes a humorous look at what it means to be young and single in NYC. The relationship issues addressed are universal and timeless. We can all identify on some level. It's clear that the director has a real feel for and love of NYC, lensing many interesting and enjoyable aspects of city life. This film is far more worthy of theatrical release than many films I've seen in the last 2-3 years.
