Am i the only one who thinks........Average?
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
There was a brief moment in the history of cinema in the 90's when coffe shop hippies made movies. They usually consisted of a stupid idea played out over 90 minutes with a terrible deluded and quiet boring conversations. This movie is one of them.Let me start with the main 2 characters. Both are meant to be finding love and along the way find watch other. But wait you guessed it with a stupid twist along the way to keep the dopple headed crowd cheering along the way. This movies insults its viewer by making a movie around a premise which is so retarded that quiet frankly the director should have been shot. Anyway i digress. (I apolgize to the viewer not director). This movie is filled with that 90's cheese that ozzes from every frame. SJP is just awful and her chemistry with her supposed love interest is as noticeable as a fly on doo doo.Let me save you from this rant/review just do not watch this garbage. It is from an era that spawned some great movies but this was not even close to a rental!
No mistake, I hope you enjoy this movie as much as I did, and I gave it one star. But it's a gold star! A big bright shiny-no wait, that's a finger. Definitely one finger. A middle finger, belonging to me. A long time ago two friends of mine told me they'd just gone to see it, and I made fun of them. Mind you at the time I knew little about the movie other than it had an incredibly stupid name and that Sarah Jessica Parker still looked human. They both told me to shut up because at least I hadn't suffered the movie. Well I never felt really good about my initial response to being told they'd seen it (I literally laughed at them) so when it came on a movie channel last might I decided to check it out. I'll say that I was impressed. Not with Sarah Jessica Parker, who was moving away from pretty (Honeymoon in Vegas pretty) toward the thing from Family Stone. Nor was I impressed with Eric Shaffer (don't know if I spelled that right, don't care-he doesn't' deserve the consideration), who first wrote this horrible movie, then made it, and worst of all cast his own ugly stupid ass in the part that gets Elle Macpherson (I think I spelled that right, checked on her IMDb page and it looks good). And I wasn't impressed by Ben Stiller's moron because, while he did a fine job of playing an idiot, the character lacked any redeeming quality and came across as a prick who tried to act like an artist but who didn't understand art (like the writer/director). What impressed me was that Scarlett Johansson was pretty good at a very young age, that Elle Macpherson acted attracted to an idiot and managed to pull it off a bit and that there was someone in the movie (the old guy) who felt the same way I do about the clown who made the movie. This movie sucked about as badly as a movie can, right up until the cliché 'realize what they're looking for has been staring them in the face' ending. At that point it fell into that brown, stinky, steaming pile of filth, one of which actually IS the worst ever, the rest being serious contenders.What this movie is missing is something vital to a good date movie. The two leads make a pact to jump off the Brooklyn Bridge. A good date movie develops characters that you could potentially like in real life and so you'd rather see them end up happy. Both leads in this suck. They're zeroes, completely lacking in value. I wanted them to jump.One other thing-when I was in college a friend of mine was an art major. Every art major had to exhibit their work openly for anyone who wanted to see. I went to my friend's show and was really surprised. Not because of how good his stuff was (it was and he's made a career of it for almost 15 years now). No, what surprised me was that his wasn't the only exhibit, and that the subject of the other exhibit was---a kid that lived in my dorm. Every picture this chick made (and I think they were all chalk) was this kid in my dorm. Just like in the movie! And when I went to make fun of him for it I couldn't because he thought it so weird and frightening he was afraid to leave his room! Just like in the movie...oh wait, she liked it. I forget that in movies obsession is an appealing quality, peeping is admired and stalking is cool.Having thought about it I think if I ever see Eric Schafer I'll have to give him a good slap.
I really liked this movie's quirky nature. I am sure a lot of people out there may not be able to relate to the playful friendship between Joe and Lucy, but I think it was a very realistic portrayal when compared to my own relationship with my husband - it is this reason I think this movie was so great. I wish there were more of these type of movies out there, but then again, I may not appreciate them so much if they were common place.In addition to the playful banter and camaraderie between Joe and Lucy, the movie also has some totally hysterical scenes, like when Joe talks about something that one of Lucy's suitors did in their place (don't want to spoil it if you haven't seen it - you have to get the greatest laugh value out of this).I hope you enjoy the movie as much as I did!
OK. i don't know if anyone else noticed, but this movie has like a million goofs in it. if you guys see anymore, comment back so you know the scene when joe is in jane's apartment when he finds out that she knew he was watching her. every time the camera focuses on jane and comes back to joe, his shirt if buttoned a different way. like one minute it will be half open and the next it will be fully buttoned. and his hair is different too. This scene just seemed so blatantly obvious too me that i felt i had to write this.i don't know, i thought it was interesting. also because there is no "goofs" section on this page.
