Absolutely brilliant
A waste of 90 minutes of my life
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
View MoreThis movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
View MoreWhen I want a movie that simply entertains, I am often disappointed with a movie with foul language or a dark movie when I was promised a comedy. This movie was an absolutely delightful surprise in that it entertained from start to finish. The effects and scenes were not silly but sweet and the music and dancing were icing on the cake. Good acting all around and solid light-hearted entertainment.
View MoreI liked this musical. Maybe it's because I'm old, but I thought Jane Seymour was very attractive & fun to watch. She was the main reason I tuned this in. Everybody in the cast did a good job, but I do agree with the other reviewers that the lead male, the bridegroom, was a major disappointment- he just had no real appeal or depth.The musical numbers rocked, especially Usher's Dj. The story did leave a lot of unexplored territory, which I attributed to Disney family format. The main plot seemed to be a girl getting married, her independence & resolving family issues. Lovestruck is a breezy, light-hearted romp with a good soundtrack. Feel-good flick, never bogs down.
View MoreOkay, I kind of loved this movie. The song sequences were great, and I loved all the dancing, mostly because I can't dance to save my life and it fascinates me to watch other people do it. I like how it gets right up into the meat of the plot really quickly - HOWEVER, I didn't like how long it took for her husband to come on the scene and how short a time Drew Seeley was there. He was the main reason I watched it and I was really disappointed by that. I think it would have been interesting had they explored the concept of her becoming young forever more thoroughly; to me it seemed like a thrown-in point that resolved itself too quickly, and left it up for a sequel. (Maybe they find another bottle?) And maybe it could be about where the bottle came from in the first place, too.
View MoreI rather enjoyed this movie. Sure, the plot's predictable, but the songs that they choose fit the scenes so well that it kinda makes up for it. With that being said, I think they sort of overdid the songs they had in the movie; sure, the performances were great, but they literally had a song in almost EVERY SCENE, which kind of bogged down the movie. But the part with the dad turning young was fun, especially the dance her and the mom do to Usher's DJ Got Us Fallin' in Love; it's probably the best part of the movie. All in all, it was a decent and kinda cute movie, but would probably have been better off as a Broadway musical. Just saying.
