Tramps

It's a simple movie that covers a short time span.

Grace Van Patten is the reason to watch.

There are probably worse ways to spend an hour and a half. One genuinely hilarious moment - but otherwise the strength of this movie is the "feeling" of New York City. A kind of tonic for those who've been to Manhattan and enjoyed the experience. It's the real city - not the imagined city of some films - the clanging, banging, grubby, smelly hive of people following all their personal mandates, getting around by public transportation. The kids are just couriers in a strange plot involving briefcases (a reference to "Pulp Fiction" perhaps) that we don't really understand until near the end - but why they're thrown together is immaterial, really. The point is the hesitating start of a romantic relationship. You can judge for yourself if there's "chemistry" between these two. I didn't see that there was much going on. There's nothing new about their reluctance to get involved with each other - the writing is not nearly up to the standard of the "screwball" comedies of the past - and the ending is just Hollywood boilerplate - but it's harmless entertainment and you could do a lot worse.

I saw the MA rating so I figured this is the movie to watch. Grace Van Patten is very attractive. I would've turned it off if it wasn't for her.

Gave it a generous 6 stars.

I did not see anything that would warrant an MA rating...maybe more like PG-13 ...

Tramps is a fantastic film. I watched this on a whim knowing virtually nothing about it and from the opening scene it was apparent this was going to be a great watch.

This is basically a modern romance story. Set in New York two young people are brought together under rather unconventional circumstances, seemingly cut from a completely different cloth and find themselves embarking on an adventure to rectify a mistake and hopefully make a little cash.

Danny, played by Callum Turner, is a "good kid" with aspirations of becoming a chef who ends up having to run an errand for his apparently inept older brother. This leads to an encounter with Ellie, played by Grace Van Patten, a street wise girl who is worldly beyond her years and as such is a tad jaded, a quality that seems to mystify Danny who's sincerity and sweet nature catches Ellie off guard at first.

What ensues is simply one of the most charming films I've seen in years. The dialogue and acting are superb. Each of the films leads deliver the excellently crafted script so naturally that it feels entirely believable.

The ending could easily have run into hackneyed territory but cleverly avoids it. In summary, this is a terrific film and everyone involved did an outstanding job.

Clocking in at 82 mins, this all too familiar story of boy meets girl (or the other way around) and ensuing attraction works on account of its two leads and the the crisp unfolding of those 82 mins. The editing and pacing, which leaves little to be desired, is tight. The film plot is believable and not contrived. The humour is subtle and works in that regard. In short it's hard to find faults with this tight American rom-com from 2016.
