Excellent adaptation.
Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
Am i the only one who thinks........Average?
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Well, the movie does start great. It showcased the main character as someone who is trying to find and experience true love. The chemistry that happens between the main male and female character is really well acted, both the actors are very good in acting the attractions. The story was great until it comes to the conclusive part of the movie, where the cliché "happy ending" for the viewers everywhere. I mean come on, is this movie supposed to promote cheating? The ending was so abruptly unrealistic. It would've been better if it is not all about being happy in the end, cause we all know it's not always roses. It would be more meaningful if it ended differently, like how "500 Days of Summer" ended. Even though it's not happy ended, it gives the viewer a really meaningful ends, where we could learn something from the movie. 5/10 for the great cast but not so great script.
I watched this movie last night on my TV cable. Thank god I don't have to wasted money on it, since it is the worst romantic comedy movie ever. I turned off the channel after half of the movie because cant stand the sexism of the writing. It is so bad its gives me headache. And I already know how it will end, with the girl leaving her bf for this man. The lead characters has no chemistry, and many characters are there for their name only without any contribution for the story. From the first scene, the story depicts a low life main character who views women as sex object, I hate him. Then he met this gorgeous girl who has a bf and fall in love. How cliché is that? Chris Evan an Monica has no chemistry at all, I fell no sympathy at all for his character, and I don't feel sympathy at all for the girl either. They are both cheating snobs who deserve each other. A sexual predator and a cheating girl. What romantic about that at all? For real? If it is a real world, we can imagine that the next thing will happened is a 911 call for domestic violence. Since the man only view woman as sexual object of course. This movie is sexism and describe the reason why you should stay away from guys like the main character. They are sociopath and only cared about themselves. Avoid it and skip it whenever it pops in your TV cable.
This film tells the story of a philandering writer who finally changes his ways, when he meets a special woman in a charity event. They develop a relationship together despite the challenges and objective hardship.I'm positively surprised by the quality of "Playing It Cool", especially after finding out that it's the director's first full length film. "Playing It Cool" is so romantic and believable, that it is what every romantic film should be like. Chris Evans is very handsome and charismatic, carrying the film all the way through. There is even a showcase of him in different costumes and looks, and even in drag! The film is really all about him, and I'm not complaining. He and Michelle Monaghan are portrayed to be so authentically falling for each other, with romance blossoming gradually along the way. Even though the group of friends, who have very minor roles and are rather clichéd, they provide the spots for the plot to move forward. I really enjoyed this very romantic film.
Review: I really wasn't that impressed with this film because it seemed to be going nowhere, right from the very beginning. Chris Evans plays a womanising writer who is struggling to come up with an idea for a Rom-Com. His agent promises him an action movie as his next project, if he produces the script but he is having problems with his personal love life because he can't get the woman that he really loves. The woman, played by Michelle Monaghan, already has a boyfriend so she becomes best friends with Chris Evans who can't get her out of his mind. His best friends try to help him through his emotional situation but his usual charms don't seem to work on Monaghan. I personally got fed up with the movie because Chris Evans just seems to be whining and moaning from one scene to the next. The director tried his best to keep the movie fresh by creating scenes from what is going on Evans crazy mind, but it's a basic Rom-Com which is corny and not that funny. The whole love story is quite boring, which is a shame because I liked the chemistry between the different characters. I was hoping for something a little different from this film but I struggled to stay interested and the constant whinging got on my nerves. Disappointing!Round-Up: I doubt that this small movie will damage Chris Evans career, after playing Captain America and the Human Torch in Fantastic Four, but it does show that he's not that great when it comes to Rom-Com's or anything without action in it. At 33, he must be laughing all the way to the bank because he also plays a big part in the Avengers franchise so this project must have pretty small compared to what he is used to. I'm just scared that he will get stuck when the big budget movies dry out. Personally, I like his cocky and self confident style of acting but he plays the same type of characters in all of his roles. He does show some emotion in the Captain America franchise and I really liked him in Injustice but he needs to come away from the comedies and action movies for a while to show that he has some more tools in the box.I recommend this movie to people who are into their Rom-Com's about a writer who meets a woman at a party and falls head over heals in love with her but she is promised to another so he tries his best to win her heart. 4/10
