It's been a bit slow on
the movie front the past couple of weeks. I won't be surprised if you've heard
nothing about the 2 movies I am reviewing from this weekend because I heard
nothing about them either. However in making my movie plans, I came across this
film, as there were really no major released films dropping this weekend, or at
least any that I wanted to see. After watching the trailer, I thought it looked
ok, I loved the cast and I was in the mood for a comedy. I had very little
expectations, except I did expect to laugh...unfortunately this wasn't the
case.
Some films take a minute
to get going as we are introduced to the story and characters, and I feel I
gave this film it's time to develop. Unfortunately it didn't develop into much.
I spent most of the movie waiting for it to get funny. Do you know how nerve
racking it is to sit in a theater to watch a comedy and not laugh at all? That
alone was a serious waste of my time. The movie was well cast but these actors
couldn't bring any life to the stale writing. There were so many comedic
opportunities that were missed in this film, and it was kind of annoying to
watch. I was hoping things would get better but it also failed miserably in the
end. Yes there were some things to take away when it comes to relationships,
but nothing really exciting or anything that came across well. All of it was
just kind of corny ~shrugs.
I was hoping to have
something positive to say about this movie, but after thinking about the film
for a few days, I realized I left the theater really unsatisfied with what I
saw. This movie had talent and a story that never reached its potential...D
