I love this movie so much
This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
View MoreExcellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
View MoreThe film may be flawed, but its message is not.
Yes Dear Readers, we have seen a film like this before, probably many times before,The one it reminds me the most of was TOM,DICK & HARRY staring Ginger Rogers & a few leading men of the time.The Ginger Rogers film was made in 1938 or so & had censors to think of, I'm With Lucy is thankfully more adult.The men in her life are some of todays leading men, including Gael Garcia Bernal, Henry Thomas, Anthonmy LaPaglia & a few others.Monica Potter is Lucy &is very pleasant to look at, Just like Ginger Rogers was.In fact all the cast is pleasant,This is not a great film by any means, BUT I know I enjoyed it for what it was & so will you.Rating *** (out of 4)--84 POINTS (OUT OF 100)--IMDb 7 9out of 10)
View MoreI had never seen Monica Potter before. She is adorable in this film, somewhere between Julia Roberts (as I think other folks have suggested) and Juliette Lewis. As a woman though I watched this Rom-Com (remember such films are not deep and shouldn't be deep, and are really only intended as a 'lech-fest')rather more for the fellas. And on the whole they're an extremely nice looking bunch. The idea of the film is that the dumped Lucy is set up on five blind dates by her helpful sister, and in intriguing snippets we watch how these dates work out. Perhaps the only real problem with the film is that it's obvious from the moment he comes on to the screen who the ultimate lucky guy who gets to marry her is going to be. That said I must give Henry Thomas and Anthony LaPaglia special mention for being so entertaining throughout. This is a nice little film for a wet Sunday afternoon: just right to raise your spirits.
View MoreI'm with Lucy (2002) is a dumb movie with nothing to recommend it. The star, Monica Potter, has been called "the poor man's Julia Roberts," but Julia Roberts can act, and Monica can't. (Maybe she can, but she doesn't demonstrate any acting ability in this film.)Will Lucy marry the arrogant orthopedic surgeon? Will she find true love with someone humbler? Do I care? Does anybody care?If you want to watch Julia Roberts, watch the real thing. "Accept no substitutes."
View MoreIf you love romantic comedies, this is definitely for you, and if you don't like them, this might just convert you! I'm with a Lucy has a refreshingly original concept, because it is totally unlike typical romcoms, as there aer 5 potential leading men instead of 1! Lucy is a newly single girl who is still unhappy after being dumped by her seemingly perfect boyfriend in a lift. Over the course of the year, pushed on by her sister and best friend, she goes on 5 blind dates. It is revealed at the beginning of the movie that she is marrying one of the dates.The film is about the 5 dates she goes on, and it is not revealed until the end who she marries, so it is thankfully not all predictable like so many of films of thid type are. In fact it's such a great idea, I'm surprised no one thought of it before! This is totally uplifiting, funny and really sweet film, and not at all pretentious or silly or irritating. Potter is great and not at all annoying as you might expect from some comedy actresses, as in this film she is a bright, witty and wise girl, and all the men are great, what a brilliant range of men all in 1 film. Even guys might like it! Please see this, you will pleasantly surprised and uplifted. It's just a shame you can't buy it in England!
