As Good As It Gets
A different way of telling a story
It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
Single gal Jane Grant (Charisma Carpenter) is a hungry assistant editor assigned to high school nemesis Natasha Nutley (Holly Marie Combs) who is writing a tell-all book. She lies to her about living with a rich doctor boyfriend. Cousin Dana invites the imaginary boyfriend to her wedding. Jane has to find a man to fit the description with the help of her friends Eloise (Rachelle Lefevre) and Amanda (Sadie LeBlanc). She also has to get Natasha to actually write and fast.Charisma Carpenter is a charming lovely actress. It's an easy moving movie. It's also so easy that there aren't big laughs. It's a series of bad dates which has a problem of mostly being annoying unfunny. Of the other parts, the most compelling relationship is Jane and Natasha. The movie should really be about that duo.
I thought this was a super cute made for TV movie. Yes, I am a girl and this is a total chick-flick...but the main character 'Jane' is adorable. And the actress playing her is too cute too. I TEVO'd it and have seen it about 7 times...just loved it. Great little movie to watch with the girls.
This is the first time I have commented on a film because I felt that if the right person read it, they might wake up and do something about it. Over the last few months, ABC Family began airing a new format of movies. I have seen the last three and enjoyed them. They were engaging and did the trick. My wife likes these films. I was looking forward to viewing "See Jane Date". The trailers looked and sounded great. Unfortunately, this is one film where the book must be light years ahead of the effort displayed by the writers and music people involved with this project. The year is 2003, the source (all bad), the score was as interesting as an elevator ride in a department store. It was intrusive and did not add any emotional content to the film at all. It worked against it. I work in the business of film and television . I enjoy being entertained. This is one instance where I kept thinking could it get any worse. The script had lines from another decade and I know these women can act but you wouldn't know it from this movie. To add to the overall experience, the end left me shaking my head. An advice to the executives at Disney, ABC , ABC Family and the producers: Under any circumstances please do not hire the composer or music supervisor to do any of your future films. They have lost their touch and they need to understand what the word "contemporary" , "present day" and "current" means when describing a romantic comedy. There is a world passing you by. All in all a huge disappointment from folks at Von Zerneck-Sertner and ABC Family.
See Jane Date was a very cute and funny romantic comedy about a girl who needs a date...fast. She has one month to find a date for her cousins wedding. What sounds like a run of the mill chick flick turns out to be a very funny and well acted romantic story. Charisma Carpenter, of Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel fame pulls of the staring roll of Jane with ease and grace. She is both beautiful and funny. i recommend See Jane Date to all audiences. I give this great romantic comedy a 9/10!!!
