Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??
ReaderKenka Let's be realistic.
Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
redx1708 Somebody should have taken a pill instead of giving birth to this movie. A romantic comedy needs certain ingredients to Work. 1) It needs to be romantic. 2) It needs to be funny once in a while. 3) It needs characters that that we can care about. Sadly it fails on all counts. The main character, (awful acting by the way), is to put it mildly not very likable and it remains a mystery why she fell for him in the first place. I mean the guy has 2 facial expressions. A nervous smile with lots of teeth and another that probably is supposed to look panicked. There's virtually no plot at all except his attempts to get her to take the pill. The woman does slightly better with her part. Actually showing a bit of character, but the script doesn't give her much to Work with. Waste of time !!
Hongkee_Moviegoer Im really surprised the IMDb rating for this movie is so low! Im so sure this movie would have been a big commercial success if the casts were all changed into some Hollywood big stars. I would say this movie is tied with "No Strings Attached" but has definitely beat "Friends with Benefits".The storyline is pretty simple but I do like how the writer/director is capable of catching those small things and moments of a relationship and delivering them smoothly. But sadly the dynamic between both leading characters is not strong enough. For this part, in comparison, Aston Kutcher and Natale Portman in "No Strings" have way better gravity.Both actresses, Rachel Boston and Anna Chlumsky, are hot enough and I must mention that the performance of Rachel Boston in this film is way better than how she does in Witches of East End. She deserves more than just acting in those lousy teenage drama shows.
Armand a romantic comedy. many clichés, a not complicated story, amusing, charming, nice and ...smart. without be extraordinary, it is special for the courage of director to use a delicate theme. to broke the common laws of genre and present image of deep vulnerability of ordinary people. to formulate few interesting questions. inspired spices are the French accent of Mindy family and the read books by Fred and his girl friend before the breakup. an interesting exercise and the chance for Noah Bean to do a character who re usual type of young man of today. the fear, the immaturity, the fragility, the impossibility of correct choice, the insecurity, all, each are a correct portrait in his good performance. Rachel Boston is perfect choice for translate the mixture between vulnerability and huge need of freedom and people. a beautiful film.
spimpernel Cringe-worthy the entire time. He sticks it in the crazy. Well, technically, she rapes him. And refuses to stop to put on a condom. Because, hey, what's more fun that getting pregnant or an STD after a one-night stand? He hangs out with her for an entire day to make sure she takes both pills, but can't tell her this because, oh yeah, she's crazy. She tricks him into going to the apartment she shared with her ex, who is devastated over her breaking up with him (so every time she whines about how she's getting over a long relationship, it's a put-on). She tricks him into meeting her family, in which her father insults him every minute (and yeah, I understood the French dialog). Turns out Fred has a girlfriend. Girlfriend insists they adopt a cat even though he is allergic and their lease won't allow it. She is a witch-with-a-B and kinda crazy too. She cheats on him, too, don't waste your sympathy. He breaks up with her. Finally, a scene where something goes right. Then he runs over to crazy-chick's apartment. A scene in which I lose all hope for this movie. But wait! She wasn't there! He hasn't seen her in 5 weeks. He sees her on the street and charms her phone number out of her. Apparently crazy is contagious.
