One of the worst movies I've ever seen
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
I have to admit that i only got this movie because i wanted to see David in a part other than Angel since i haven't seen him in one...Also i wasn't too sure about his acting since Angel was mostly an adventure series and Bones too so......But I was wrong...He actually pulled it off with flying colors and without a single glitch as far as i can tell..The movie is awesome...Its funny and romantic...The actors are amazing....Thus the time goes by happily and one can say that when the movie was over i actually wanted more....I can just hope that David can continue making movies like that.....Good movies with fun or adventure if needed....So bottom line, whoever likes romantic comedies or is a fan of David boreanaz shouldn't miss out on this one.
What this movie lacks in big stars it makes up for with charm. It doesn't take itself too seriously and almost satirizes the romantic comedy genre - in an entertaining and irreverent way. It doesn't drag anywhere and moves along pretty quick, sometimes actually causing me to rewind the DVD player to see if I missed anything. There seems to be a lot in this movie: go cart racing, stock car racing, singing, dancing, fighting, crying and it all serves the plot well (especially a great serenade scene with Paul Sorvino singing Frank Sinatra.) I like the leads but feel that the supporting characters could've been explored more but it's a nice little flick that makes you feel good at the end.
I liked this movie very much. It is well written and the acting is superb. A great date movie. I've seen it a few times and it gets better and better. It is a romantic comedy with a plot twist you won't see coming. "Mr. Fix It" is a specialist hired by men who want to get back together with the women who dumped them. He develops a relationship with the ex-girlfriend and proceeds to offend or annoy her so much that she realizes what she really had in her last boyfriend -- causing her to go back to Mr. Fix It's client. This leads to a hilarious sequence of events, which end when Mr. Fix It falls in love with one of the women he was hired to entice.Besides the comedy, there are many touching moments in the film. Good for guys or girls.
Wonderful and charming film. I was dragged, kicking and screaming to the TV set by my girlfriend, but what a surprise! Without spoiling the surprise, let me say that the film's a contemporary romantic comedy but, instead of the usual baloney and narcissim of recent film releases, the filmDavid Boreanaz shows a great facility for comedy- something we hadn't seen before, and Alana De La Garza is quite charming.I don't want to ruin the surprise, so I'll say Paul Sorvino can really sing.Otherwise, a great supporting cast, too.We rent many films, but WE PURCHASED THIS ONE and gave copies to the relatives (only the ones we like) for the holidays.
