Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
View MoreThe movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
View MoreUnshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
View MoreI caught this little movie last night when there was nothing else to watch, mostly because of Jennifer Morrison. Routh did a passable Christopher Reeve impression again, though honestly I never found Reeve to be that compelling an actor, and based on the few comedies I have seen Reeve in, I would say that Routh is actually better as a light comedian. On the one hand, if you've seen Switching Channels (an ill-advised '80s remake of His Girl Friday), you'll realize that ain't saying much, but light comedy is actually one of the most difficult things to pull off, and the fact that Routh manages to be funny at all is an accomplishment. It may seem unfair to compare Routh and Reeve outside of a Superman film, but Routh took the role and he's stuck with the comparison. Not to mention Routh looks and sounds a lot like Reeve.The nutty couple are indeed nutty, and manage to be funny without being too annoying to watch, the supporting players (including the boyfriend from Roseanne) are competent, and Morrison was engaging and charming, quite believable as someone you'd chase to Oregon or wherever the hell.Where this film falls down is pacing and story. The framing story of Routh sitting in the bar relating the events thus far is poorly constructed, with the story taking so long between returns to the bar that you forget the framing device and are jarred by the transition back to the "present." Too much of the film takes place after leaving the bar. Quicker pacing would have helped the end not drag so badly and leave such gaps between jokes.Bottom line, watchable, but not re-watchable, unless your other choice is a Rosie O'Donnell movie or something similarly sickening.
View MoreTable for three story about a guy named Scott (Brandon Routh) who look for a roommate eventually found by a couple named (Ryan) Jesse Bradford (and Mary(Sophia Bush)and eventually turn his world upside down. They introduced Scott to Leslie (Jennifer Marison)and eventually sabotage their relationship.The storyline was really good, its simple yet entertaining. I'm was kinda surprised with the IMDb ratings but anyway, I really enjoyed this movie.This was very entertaining. The actors were really good, they're so funny. The script were really written well. Each actor portrays well their character especially the couple, they're very entertaining.The four lead characters really have a great chemistry. Its worth watching for. Two Thumbs up to everybody whose part of the success of this movie. *cheers*+++
View MoreI'm surprised at all the negativity 'Table For Three' received because it had me laughing almost all the way. I say almost because I thought towards the end (except the last scene) it got very clichéd. Samonek does a good job of making the story (which could have easily been a thriller) into a comedy. The jokes work excellently but there is also a lot of subtle humour some of which can be easily missed if you turn your head away for a minute. 'Table For Three' also has a polished and appealing look. The sets look great and the soundtrack is pleasant. One of the most crucial requirements for a successful comedy is to cast actors with comic flair. Brandon Routh does a fairly decent job and the breathtakingly beautiful Jennifer Morrison is absolutely charming. However, 'Table For Three' belongs to Jesse Bradford and Sophia Bush. They are awesome as this weird, intrusive and clingy couple from hell and their scenes together are the highlights of the movie. Bush should definitely quit acting in soaps and consider acting more in films. To sum it up, 'Table For Three' is a fun movie to watch on a date or with friends.
View MoreThis one was too romantic for an r-rated comedy, too r-rated to be a romantic comedy and just too unfunny to be a comedy. But I'm basically okay with this genre uncertainty, this is not the main reason I hated the movie. The main reason is that the movie is annoying as hell from start to finish. 'The crazy couple' is really annoying with their over the top performance, and the superman guy is annoying being too good. All other characters in this movie, including Scott's love interest, are almost non-existent. The movie delivers one or two mediocre laughs which I'm sure you'll remember, but all in all it's not worth watching. Even 'Cable Guy' which has a somewhat similar plot is better.
