The Trouble with Romance (2007)

Captivating movie !

It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

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

the trouble with romance surrounds the situations that arise in 4 different relationships over the course of one night in the same hotel. each one is completely different, yet they each make a different point about love. about whether or not love is worth it in the end, despite all that has happened between them. the movie explores deep issues and makes some good points, but that's where it ends. God awful writing!!! the script sounds like it was written by a 16 year old, and each one of the lines was executed in the poorest manner possible. horrible acting!!! i may have enjoyed it better if the stories weren't back to back and they took scene breaks. the soundtrack was most unmemorable, if there even is one. the scenery was CHEAP. don't watch this movie unless you are trying to punish yourself!

Okay, if you want a dark, edgy movie or something with really deep messages, this film isn't for you. But if you're looking for light entertainment like "Love Actually" or "Four Weddings And A Funeral" then it might be up your alley.Yes, it's light and frothy, but clearly by design, and that's why I liked it, especially with all the depressing news out there lately. I'm sure there will be artsy film snobs who pooh-pooh it for catering to us commoners. But as a typical movie goer, I found this funny, surprising and a welcome escape from the real world. For a low budget movie it looked great, and by the end, I actually found myself reflecting on my own personal life.

I saw this movie at a screening on campus at Columbia. It's a fun, wacky movie with some sweet endearing moments. My friends and I liked it a lot, especially the last 2 stories. Considering how low the budget is, I thought they did a good job. If you like light-hearted relationship movies you'll enjoy it, and if you don't, then you won't. Probably falls into the chick-flick category but there's some stuff that the guys in our group found funny too.If you check your cynicism at the door, it makes some interesting points about love.

Just saw this movie at the Directors Guild of America and absolutely loved it. Theater was huge and was completely sold out. Basically, it's four stories about relationships connected together. Each story looks at issues men and women deal with but from totally different points of view. Some of the stories are serious and some are very funny. My personal favorites were the 2nd story about a married couple trying to spruce up their sex life, and the 4th story about a prostitute. A lot of the men seemed to like the third story but it was a little gross for my taste. The filmmakers spoke after the screening, and though they say it was made for a low budget, it didn't look it at all. It looked as professional as any studio movie to me. The director's visual choices were very stylized, and I like how he changed it for each story. Based on the great performances, he definitely seems like an actor's director.
