Funny Valentine

I recently viewed this romantic comedy some years ago and just recently purchased it online to view again with my husband. He normally is not a big fan of romantic comedies, but enjoyed this one more than most. The beginning of the the story line starts off a little slow and at first seems to being going nowhere. It quickly picks up and becomes apparent that it was all necessary in developing the characters. You can not help but fall in love with the main characters who are perfectly cast in their roles. Their chemistry is terrific and the story line genuine. Anyone who has ever been in love will relate to the range of emotions that accompany a true love, all of which are portrayed in this story. This comedy will have you laughing, crying and wanting more.

Seen this movie recently...definitely one of the weirder romantic comedies which I've seen.Much of the acting is laughable, and the directer seems to have shot it in the style of a 1980's soft porn.no, Not joking! There is regular tacky female semi-nudity at the start of the film, which is just plain weird for a Rom com.The main characters 'buddies' are hard to like. Their characters are so outta whack u wonder what they could possibly have in common. The only saving grace is the watchable performances of the two leads who do their best with a dire script. Girls if your looking for a likable chick flick ..avoid this like a disease.

Josh (Anthony Michael Hall) is a single gentleman looking for the right gal. Alas, he has trouble approaching women in bars and other typical meet-up places. Therefore, his "swinger" pals Sean and Tim try to give him advice on the different kinds of women out there and how to secure a date. They even create a profile for him on a dating site and insist they will pick the three finalists for Josh to review. However, as a shy magician, mime and book seller, Josh meets a beautiful woman, Doreen (Marlo Marron) when he performs at a child's birthday party and likes what he sees. But, once he is out of his mime make-up, will she look his way? Or, as Sean and Tim insist, is she way out of his league? For her part, Doreen is a working single mother and graduate student who truly doesn't want to give her heart to another jerk. Is this really a match made by Cupid's sure arrow? This is a sweet romcom, for the most part, but there are some rather risque scenes involving the two "love em and leave em" friends of the main star, Hall. Therefore, Doris Day lovers may not like it. But, the scenes involving Hall and Marron are sweet and touching. Especially nice are the movies Hall imagines in his mind, with him starring as Chaplin and Bogart, and Marron as his leading lady. Also darling is Marron's son. The movie does not have any spectacular scenery, costumes, lines, or direction but, even so, romantic comedy fans will be glad they chose it. If that's you, add it to the list.

First, let me start off by saying that I have never written a movie review before (I just never saw the point. There are tons of reviews out there). But after seeing this complete waste of time, I felt compelled to write something. My boyfriend works at a DVD distribution company and he brought home a box of unwanted DVD's for us to sift through. This is a BAD film (and not "good" bad like the campy "Showgirls" or the beyond belief "Waterworld"). It simply is a new "filmmaker" wasting natural resources because he can. (I cry inside a little for the environment when I think about the fuel used to produce the film stock, get the actors to the set, move the lighting, etc. What a waste.) The only redeeming quality to this film is Anthony Michael Hall doing his best to rise above the lame script. (I can only imagine the director had compromising pictures of him in order to get him to be in the movie). The dialogue is awkwardly written (it seems like the writer doesn't have a clue how human beings really interact), it's shot poorly, the female lead is hopelessly miscast. Really, it's not worth anybody's time. I wouldn't let the "writer/director" film a child's birthday party, let alone another movie. If I ever see another DVD by this person, I will avoid it all costs. I suggest you do the same.

Well, I'm not cinema professional, so I have no right to judge how actor plays, how camera works and so on. But in general this movie made me feel positive (what happens not so often). Of course, this movie is quite simple, but it contains positive example of communication between man and woman, small pickup lesson and interesting behavior patterns (there are some things to model, in terms of NLP). For me it is interesting to see how people can behave to be interesting, so if you're looking for the girl of your dream, this movie is good to tune up yourself for successful and positive communication with woman. And it is also pleasant to see (for guys like me) how guy from 'lover league' have success with girl from 'upper league'. For me, this move contains more positive charge, than many high-rated movies. Moreover, I like soundtrack.
