I love this movie so much

Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

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.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Head Over Heels is a comedy misfire if ever there was one. It has some interesting moments, but in the end a rather stupid plot defeats all the players involved. That and the premise that fashion models must be brain dead as well as beautiful to qualify for the job.Monica Potter who works restoring paintings at the Metropolitan Museum Of Art gets an opportunity to move in with four fashion models who apparently on everyone else's dime and sublet a room in their swanky apartment for a little extra spending loot. If you add up all the working brain cells that the four have you might have one functioning brain.She also meets Freddie Prinze, Jr. who's also in the fashion game and she can see right into his apartment and sees one night him commit a murder. Now how could this sexy guy be a murderer. Well ask such charming characters as Ted Bundy and if he were he'd tell you. Potter decides to investigate Prince which includes a wild night of sex with her model onlookers.If this was Prinze's idea of an adult role he should have stuck to films like Summer Catch and being a teen dream for a bit longer. The film is highly embarrassing for the players, I feel for them.

Yet, I found myself laughing. Perhaps it can be attributed to a possible chemical imbalance at the time or not enough sleep, but I enjoyed it.I suppose the reason why was that I immediately began to recognize it as a parody. It isn't meant to be realistic or serious.Amanda Pierce's beginning dialogue is what immediately caught my attention. She was always attracted to the wrong guys, who, when caught in the middle of cheating, would say "This isn't what it looks like".As a result of one too many heartbreaks, she tried to envelope herself in her work, which was restoring old paintings. That's a profession you don't see very often in the movies, but it was fitting for Amanda.What can I say? I feel a little guilty, but the movie was "cute" for lack of a better word. Monica Potters and Freddie Prinze Jr. had good on-screen chemistry.Though again, I repeat- the movie isn't realistic, serious, or deep. So if you're not in the mood for fluff? You'll probably want to avoid it.

SPOILERS THROUGHOUT: Despite how much this movie is disliked, I'm a fan. I cannot help it, it's funny! There's this fun quality to it and Monica Potter is so talented(as good as Sandra Bullock-that's quite a compliment), and the models are SO funny. I am a big fan of romantic comedies but hate vulgar humor so this movie doesn't make an 8 for me, simply for that reason. If not for the vulgarity of some of the humor it probably would have, because this is a fun, zany modern romantic comedy. I love the party atmosphere, the spoofs on models(though these models MADE The movie.) Unfortunately for Fredy Prince Jr., while he was good, it was the females, in this movie that stole the show. Monica Potter is wonderful, the models are goofy yet so likable, always up to something and there's a bit of sex and the city in this. I could see women liking it more then men even though there are A lot of pretty women featured in this. But there's so many BAD romantic comedies out there. At least this isn't boring.I happen to HATE bathroom humor in movies. The movie really made an error in some of it's scenes and that is why it only gets a 7 from me and not an 8. I think the movie was trying to appeal to EVERYONE, (the teen crowd, the over 21 clubbing crowd, the chick flick lovers, fans of pure slapstick, etc etc). The movie should have made up it's mind what type of movie it was. In spite of the disgusting, ridiculous few scenes thrown in, I liked this so much it surprises me! Usually any movie that has this kind of humor would not get a 7 from me.But there's just something about this. It's FUNNY and it's funny immediately, and I'm not talking about the bathroom humor(the first half of this is better then the second.). You just start laughing and keep up. It'll never make it into my favorite romantic Comedies(thanks to those above mentioned scenes) but it's still a fun movie.

Unfortunately this movie didn't do well when it came out, possibly because people didn't think Freddie Prinze, Jr was someone who knew how to pick his parts. Who could blame them, with movies like Boys and Girls to his name. However, I found this movie to be very entertaining. I still find myself laughing whenever I watch it again. The only problem with this movie is that the writers spent more time and creative juices on the jokes than the actual plot and the movie goes downhill after Monica Potter and Freddie Prinze, Jr have sex. Bottomline, if you're in dire need of a good laugh this is a good movie to see. If you want something more substantial, watch an Ed Norton flick.
