Masterful Movie

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

You've got the typical plot line of "I don't want a relationship...oh wait no, I like you". Except the lead role is a woman who has a face that is stuck on a clown smile and she awkwardly loves everything. Every character is a stereotype that was poorly portrayed. You have the douchebag friend who only wants to bang every woman mentioned and the two gay guys who are the back up friends. The whole movie is a big pile of cliché'. It's a little painful to watch. I wouldn't waste any money on it.

Seriously. I think directors work with so many altered stars nowadays they take immobile foreheads for granted. It's why the movie feels so fake; that, and a serious lack of acting skills. Nia's immobile forehead and huge eyes and Stepfordesque, unending warm smile made her look like she was on Xanax. John Corbett's forehead was almost as flat. Creepy. And yet the director was intently focusing on their faces for a large percentage of this film. The writing actually was standard rom-com fare; tolerable, but only Jay O. Sanders as the floral delivery man showed his acting chops and came off as a real person. Yet even he was forced to participate in an eye-roll inducing, 'goofy' 'romantic' ending that you would expect from this script. Every single other performance was wooden. The major disappointment was that this film was chock full of actual funny comedians being used for straight roles. Did not work. I had to write this review because I just got HBO and I'm the type of person who will watch a bad movie all the way through. I think it might be a disorder of some type.Anyhoo, that movie was so bad and I was so angry with myself for watching all of it, that I wanted some payback in the form of a silly negative review. That and I want to spare others the pain and anger that I felt when the credits started rolling. Lastly, if you're going to write a clichéd story of a woman who hides her abandonment issues behind layers of quirky eccentricity, try to hire a really good writer who can convincingly work a cliché into a story so that it's not so bloody obvious.

Since the two stars were so good in My Big Fat Wedding, I was looking forward to seeing them again. This was such a letdown!. One quarter of the way through, I said this movie is horrible, but I forced myself to watch it. What a mistake! The plot was okay, but the movie had so many things wrong with that it did not make any sense most of the time. For example, it was winter time in some of the scenes, and no ever wore warm clothes. What no snow and ice in winter in NYC? The supposed 4 dates were strewn over a year's time. After all that time, they still acted like they had just seen each other the previous night. It was just pure fluff, but not entertaining fluff. It ranks right above My Life in Ruins. Sorry, Nia. I can't stomach any more of your movies as hard as I try to like them. Nia is pretty and easy to watch, but her movies make her no longer bearable.

This really isn't terrible as some people are claiming it to be, yeah it isn't a great romantic comedy but it isn't a boring one either. So it's basically about a girl named Genevieve Gernier who has this philosophy of never dating more than five times and never keeping a long term relationship until she meets a guy named Greg Gatlin who owns a restaurant near her flower shop. And yes these 40 yr old protagonists who acts immature and stupid at times, but it didn't get to the point of it getting so very annoying. I personally think it's cause of the movie "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" which is probably a better romantic comedy that Genevieve Gernier is in is why this film is probably taking a lot of bashing for. Anyways yeah it's silly, it's stupid, and it's unrealistic, but I personally didn't think it was terrible and it did have it's moments. I mean I was entertained for most of it, despite it's flaws.5.8/10
