Lack of good storyline.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Julia Stiles character was too cold, mean, and uncaring. I didn't enjoy the movie because of her. The writers should have allowed her character to change into someone more likable. I like that the movie was set in Boston. It was very​ authentic. I don't understand why Julia's character had to remain so callous during the entire movie. I don't recall her smiling at all.

I was in the hospital and high on drugs when I saw this. That also explains my delay in reviewing it since during my recovery I had limited time online and there were other priorities.Even though it felt like I was dreaming this episode, I still remember some details. David Walton did a very good Boston accent and he was quite appealing as an obviously blue-collar character. And yet Elliot wanted more from life than just delivering beer. An executive position was open in his company, and the uptight but still adorable Hannah tricked him into letting her train him to talk and act properly for that position. Only her goal was to replace the deceased congressman she had wanted to see elected. Elliot did very well in his transition to a sophisticated executive, but did he want the job of congressman? Well, you'll just have to watch for yourself. And there appears to be romantic potential here as well.Not quite up to the usual Hallmark Hall of Fame standards, but it would have made a very good Lifetime movie.

Henry Higgins and Eliza Doolittle, move over. In the reversal of sex roles, the female losing candidate in a congressional race attempts to make over a beer distributor who she has insulted on the night of her defeat. He needs her help for a major promotion and when the candidate who beat her, dies in a freak accident, she decides to promote him for Congress.It's wonderful how he learns to speak well and knows how to work an audience. It's also wonderful seeing how he takes the high road by refusing to submit damaging evidence that he has against his opponent's wife.Frances Fischer steals the scenes she is in by playing our male hero's common mother, very common that is. She is often hysterical to watch.While they both share the common thread in being defeated, this is also a story of two people with different backgrounds falling in love.A wonderful film. I was so sorry when it ended.

I have to confess I began watching with my son because I worked as background but I found myself forgetting about that and just smiling.. You have a sweet family movie with a moral center, talented and very smart actors. It wasn't preachy but fun... It made you think but not in a negative way. I loved the use of Boston landmarks in this.We need more movies like this. Yes Boston does have people who talk and act that way. Boston is filled with a diverse population and this movie just sampled a small part of it. Yes I love my zombie flicks as well but this is a nice breath of fresh air.. BTW everyone onset was nice and very professional.
