Lovesick (2014)

Simply A Masterpiece

A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

I watched this movie a year ago on a train in Spain. It started like a nice goofy comedy, but I slowly started to feel unease. I eventually realized that this movie touches on some very deep emotional nerves. Anyone who was ever "lovesick", anyone who was ever passionately in love, crazy in love - anyone who loved and lost, who experienced the fears that accompany love - would immediately feel connected. And would immediately feel unease by this film.It beautifully and brilliantly shows how love can drive us crazy with fear. You helplessly watch as the main character destroy his happiness, succumbing to irrational fears and paranoia's.It's hard to watch, it makes you think. And something happen then - it transforms you. It opens your eyes. Even if you are not as "lovesick" as the main character, you are to some degree like that. Everyone are like that or have the potential to be like that.Yesterday I watched it again with a friend. She had to stop several times because it was too hard - she was beginning to be so emotional - reflecting on her past relationships. It was clear: She too has been transformed by it.This is why I think this is by far the most therapeutic movie I have ever seen (and I've been around the block). I can't really put my finger on it. The acting it OK, the story is OK - it's all "nice" but not amazing. And yet - it's so powerful. It's so well done. The fact that I can't even really explain why - is what makes this film brilliant, and whoever made it - a genius!But then I come to IMDb and see this movie gets really low score. So maybe it's just me. Maybe it's just us, lovesick people, who can really relate to this movie. And the rest of humanity just sees it like another goofy mediocre comedy. Who knows.For me it's a 10/10.

Matt Le Blanc stars in this quirky, subdued romantic comedy which is not as clever or funny as it thinks it is. At some point is can be excruciatingly embarrassing.Matt is Charlie Darby a popular elementary school principal who goes bat nut crazy when he falls in love. Then he is possessed with insane jealousy and paranoia which leads to disastrous results.Ali Larter is Molly his latest flame but she too is dismayed by his behaviour but can she ease him through his problems? Adam Rodriguez plays the patient and supportive best friend. Chevy Chase pops up as a porn addicted neighbour.The film is certainly left field and Matt and Ali make nice couple but the insane jealous scenes just does not work as a comedy but it has enough charm to keep you watching.

"We all go a little crazy when we fall in love." Charlie Darby (LeBlanc) is a well liked principal but has troubles when it comes to falling in love. The minute he thinks he is in love he becomes instantly jealous and his mind messes with him. Any little thought makes him nervous and sets him off. He decides to never fall in love again, but when he meets Molly (Larter) his plans change. This isn't a terrible movie and I did like it. Like most romantic comedies it follows the cookie cutter formula but this one actually has a little something different to make it seem fresh. It takes aspects of many well known rom-coms and adds a little twist to them making it funny, heartfelt and stressful. Overall, a movie I did like and was a little more than your typical run of the mill rom-com. A good date movie. I give this a B.

This Movie is a perfect example how you don't have to act when you are in relationship. It relate perfectly to the really jealous people, who can't get over their fear of disappointments when in love. Every person once in a while got its suspicions that maybe the love one is in a affair, and goes to the limits to prove his believes. Eventually everything goes back to its place and all the suspicions disappear. The Movie is mixed with twisted sense of humor and big dose of the reality nowadays. It shows the long way we have to go in order to understand the situation and move on. The point is to trust each other more and not to get into neurotic jealousy that will destroys our relationship.
