ridiculous rating

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

One wishes to like this film, to find in it that which will it make it recommendable, low budget underdog independent production that it is, led by a first-time director, having a colourful urban setting with an emphasis upon romantic relationships, and an attractive young cast; however, a drastic flaw in the writing quickly casts doubt upon its having a chance to rise above mediocrity. The core of its story consists of the experiences of Marty (Ron Livingston), a would-be novelist living in Manhattan, expatriate from Maine, struggling ineffectively with the familiar conundrum of young men seeking amorous satisfaction until he, within the space of a few days, discovers that two attractive young women, each named Nina, are smitten with him, and he therefore must face an inevitable decision to select one of them, thereby abandoning the second, all while assuring that the liaisons will not converge to his total loss of romance. From his roost upon a bar stool, Marty's best friend Dave (Bray Poor), performs as Chorus, face to the camera, to describe his pal's adventures in love, along with his own, with events moving to a somewhat predictable climax hastened by Marty's carelessness in not keeping his lovers separate. The mentioned shortcoming in the writing is a penchant of tyro scriptor/director Neil Turwitz to have each of his characters speak in the same manner, as dialogue for all is distinguished by consistent syntax, vocabulary, and rhythm, whether man or woman, and only the skill of Poor (who gains acting honours in this piece) in maintaining his precision of timing, and natural actress Cara Buono as one of the Ninas, somewhat leavens an otherwise monochromic script. An overly naturalistic tenor in the screenplay frequently grates upon one's sensibilities, but a decision to prevent some flubs from winding up on the cutting room floor works well enough, although those components of post-production that require dubbing and mixing are often errant, in line with generally woeful D.J. selection that comprises most of the scoring for a film that sinks from its shallowness.

There's precious little romance to be found in this romantic comedy which tells of a slump shouldered, self pitying, self deprecating wuss who dates two women both named Nina. How's that for creative? "Two Ninas" is an okay watch and a decent shoot with enough relationship issues to maintain interest all the way to it's fizzling conclusion. However, the film trades charm and heart for hip and cool as it presents its characters as one dimensional, self-centered, hard edged stereotypes. Recommended for anyone into the adult singles dating scene.

First off, a big thank you to all the people who have voted for and/or reviewed this film.I wanted to buy a film I had not seen on DVD. I went to my local HMV and selected a long list of titles I knew little or nothing about. Two Nina's had the most impressive voting breakdown, as of today, noone voted below 4, and the curve of votes is highest at 10, exponentially down to 4.So I went and bought it. I watched it, I loved it. The only member of cast that was familiar was the lead actor, whom I saw in Office Space, which I enjoyed.Two Ninas is a romantic comedy. One of the best you will come across. Guy meets two girls falls for both and the film, together with some smart scripting and simple direction, completely involves you in the characters involved the pathos and vitality of the situation.Personally I think he made the wrong choice. Choose the girl with the similar interests and full of pent up frustration, or choose the girl with the common attitude of not being 100% sure what she wants from the relationship, and is helping it to its natural conclusion...I think in a burgeoning relationship, both sides should not try to force the issue. The point is the film creates these kind of talking points, and a film that does that is a film worth seeing again, and again....I gave it a nine out of ten. It lost the one point because I wanted to see more. A follow up called two Ninas two??? Works for me!!!

I am 19 1/2 and a Sophomore in college and I really loved this movie. I saw it with my parents and brothers. I would really like for my friends to have a chance to see it. It is romantic but also very funny. I am sure that they will love it too.
