Head Over Heels (2001)

Good movie but grossly overrated

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

I picked this up from a free trial of a movie channel on a random Wednesday evening. I thought it was perfect.The film has a wide range of comedy from witty sarcasm to toilet humour. The characters (especially the models) are blatant stereotypes but they are not portrayed in a malicious way allowing you to get attached to them. The plot is fairly basic ( a mix of 'Shes all that' and 'Rear Window') but has just enough substance to keep you from drifting off.Sterling performance from Monica Porter, production, lighting, sound track etc. all to standard.Don't expect to have your mind blown or injure yourself laughing. Do expect a good solid rom-com you can relax and grin too.

this is one of the better romantic comedies i've seen in a while.for one thing,it has quite a few laughs.but i think that's because it's also a farce and a screwball comedy.i liked the slapstick scenes they threw in.i thought they were very effective.the dialogue in the movie is also great.there are some very witty scenes.it's also a mystery movie of sorts.Monica Potter and Freddie Prinze Jr.play the two leads in the film.both are instantly likable,(at least in this movie,at any rate)as are their characters.i don't feel this is your standard romantic comedy.it has other dimensions to it,which you'll notice when you watch it.i expected the movie to be average,mildly amusing fluff,but i'm glad i was wrong.there are a few moments where it is a bit slow,but for the most part,things flow along at a decent enough pace.for me,Head over Heels is a 7/10.

HEAD OVER HEELS, in my opinion, is a heartwarming, hilarious, romantic, and touching romantic comedy. If you ask me, the way that Jim (Freddie Prinze Jr.) and Amanda (Monica Potter) met was pure magic. This was because they were walking along and minding their own business. Plus, it was love at first sight. A lot of people have said that this is one of the worst movies they've ever seen, but I strongly disagree. This is a great movie with terrific performances from very talented actors and actresses. Before I wrap this up, I'd like to say, "This is a perfect movie to see with the one you love!" Now, in conclusion, to all you Freddie Prinze Jr. or Monica Potter fans that have not seen this heart-warming, hilarious, romantic, and touching romantic comedy, I highly recommend it! When you see it, prepare to laugh and have a good time.

This movie is severely under rated. The reason for this being too many people were watching it expecting another "generic chick flick." Despite what bias persons will tell you, the direction and acting of this movie were superb. It is not an average "chick flick," and in the mass of these films in the 90's this is simply the best of them. I saw this movie from an honest point of view. What I determined was this, the quality was unparalleled, the direction was superb in the way the cameras were positioned and moved, and the acting was amazing. The most important part of this, as is in all movies, IS THE STORY! This some people do not seem to understand. However I HIGHLY recommend this movies to both men and women alike. Watch this with an open mind, and it will become a truly exciting and thrilling cinematic experience for the viewer. I strongly urge all to at least give this cinematic achievement a simple viewing.
