Miss Dial (2013)

A lot of fun.

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

The first thirty minutes, there was actually some hope in my mind that this movie's plot would really take off. It did take long to prove I was sorely disappointed. There are some funny moments that make it seem worth holding out for but ultimately this movie proves to be simply too predictable. Perhaps the worst part of the movie is when the lead actor cries but just can't get those tears flowing. Woman's man is cheating, she finds another love interest, and she moves on. It's a definite A on originality though. Lead actors were very relatable to regardless of how bland their storyline was. Cameo from Gabrielle Union was perhaps the funniest part of this movie. This was the first film this particular director was in charge of however, so plenty of room for improvement. Great Actors, bland plot and original storyline.

This movie was awesome. Good concept and well played. I enjoyed some of the humor presented in the movie. I liked how the movie played out from beginning,middle, and end. It was a clever way to mix all the confrontation between the actors and actresses to make it a all around good time film. Althoughh i thought that there should have been more use of the other big time actors and actresses only to help the movie reach its full potential. There could've been more use for some of the other stars. David did a nice job with this one along with the others. The humor could have expanded more along with the entertainment but over all i think it was a great movie with a greate plot.

This was a very enjoyable and laughter filled film. There were many scenes that kept me laughing especially when the lead actress Eric would make calls for her job. The concept of the "Miss Dial" in which Erica would call a random person and just talk with them was a very original idea to me. It really made me think about how, despite all these social networks, are disconnected from people outside the people we see everyday. Less and less people are breaking out of their comfort zone to meet new people and more and they are stuck behind a computer screen. Although I really enjoyed this film the ending was no much to my liking as it ended up like any other love story with the man and women meeting and having a happily ever after.

My husband and I saw Miss Dial earlier tonight with some friends, and everyone really liked it. It is a very cute and upbeat movie and there are several laugh-out-loud moments/scenes. If you have ever had a crappy "gotta-pay-the-bills" job, you'll identify with Erica, the main character, and her attempt to inject a little bit of fun and humanity into her daily routine. Both Erica and the male lead are very likable characters -- you will root for them to succeed throughout the movie. The sets are simple (mainly apartment settings) and most of the dialog takes place via phone conversations with the callers appearing in split-screen view. My husband and I agree that this is definitely a movie that we would recommend, and we would both see it again!
