Absolutely Fantastic
Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
This movie is for hopeless romantics/comedy people. It's a beautiful love story and it has great music. I recently found one of the tracks was sung by Jim Brickman and David Grow-That's What I'm Here For. I've yet to find any more that were in the movie. I think people are way too harsh being critics on the movie. It was excellent, but, I guess everyone is entitled to their own opinions. This movie has been rated way below what it should've been though. Hopefully, one day my generation might see things differently dare I hope.I feel like I live in a different time.Ha.ha. Anyways, just thought I'd share my thoughts. I hope if anyone else sees the movie they enjoy it as much as I did.
One in a series of Gayxploitation movies to come out lately (Three to Tango, Trick, In and Out, Friends & Lovers), this one is pretty good. (Actually, I liked the others, also!) I have quickly grown to like Johnathon Schaech. James LeGros is hysterical, especially as the gay Russian. If you have ever tried to find a place to live on a budget in a big city, you'll enjoy this movie.
There's nothing new here. All the standard romantic-comedy scenes, even down to the taxi sprinting to the airport to stop the woman flying away. The only thing that saves this is the acting of Alison Eastwood & some of the minor characters (blink and you'll miss Gabrielle Anwar), who obviously had some fun.Turn it off when the pair are in bliss, and you won't have to go through the inevitable plot pain.
The low budget production shows throughout the movie, but this is a very well-made and entertaining comedy. Producers and the director did a wonderful job.Alison Eastwood's acting was terrific and her presence lights up the screen throughout the movie. The first five minutes may put off some viewers, but it quickly picks up the pace and keeps the attention focused on the main element of the movie, romantic relationship and dilemma between the main characters.The conflict, relationship, personality of characters and the chemistry between the characters shine on the screen.This small budget production probably will not reach wide audience, but it should work on word-of-mouth. People will feel good about this one after watching it.
