Table for Three (2009)

Good concept, poorly executed.

Blistering performances.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

Some glitches here and there are unavoidable. For a teen like me, I would be sleeping halfway through the show has it not been Brandon Routh's beautiful face on the screen. Of course, compliments have to be given out to Brandon Routh for trying his hands on romance. He's not bad you know. He still has to work on his randomness though. I applaud him for trying out different genres. That will do him some good. Sophia Bush acts crazy here amid his serious character in One Tree Hill. I kinda' like it, you know how easily she can just put the character in line and make it seem so real. The ending is a little cloudy with no indication whether the couple is really crazy and they will come back to haunt Scott or not but that's another story. I will leave it to the director to figure that out. But, I was thinking that it would make a good horror movie you know. A couple who is mad in love with each other and just need a friend to make topics more interesting and when the friend starts to leave them for another girl, they decided to kill the girl. You know, that could make a good movie. LOL!

I'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.

The story really gets underway when he decides to rent out the extra room to a couple who begin to interfere in his love life. Brandon Routh does an excellent job in portraying the guy too quick to jump into relationships. The couple that moves in with him decide that they will help him not to jump into a relationship too quickly. On purpose, they try to make him look bad in front of this new women in order to slow him down.I enjoyed the interaction of the characters. Each character was fully developed instead of being a part of the scenery. There are a lot of good laughs, and the comedy is realistic. The marriage ceremony has many good laughs in it too, and we see what lengths the couple will go to.

This movie was very refreshing and entertaining! The director wrote a funny and unpredictable script. I believe who ever did casting for this film did a great job; kudos to all the actors in the film! The chemistry in the film was just right....not saucy and overdone. I really enjoyed this film because it portrays a normal character who is surrounded by freaks who put him out of his element and drive him crazy. It's a feeling that we all can relate to....this is what is the best vocal point of this movie. Moreover, I thought it was going to be another corny romantic comedy but it was quite the opposite! It put a smile to my face. Thumbs up!!
