Introducing Jodea

After the crazy stresses of CoVid - nothing cures the soul like a fun filled, sweet romantic comedy.

Chloe Traicos has the ability to take you on a journey. A completely opposite role to her thriller (which was filled with quirky dark comedy) where she played a sociopathic killer- in Introducing Jodea we find a wanna be actress looking for a break - when a mishap in her car produces the opportunity.

Snuggle up with some wine and popcorn to enjoy this sweet sometimes corny , version of classic story boy meets girl, happy story filled with the clever comedic writing which is the signature of Chloe Traicos.

My Fair Lady of 2021....pretty much sums up "Introducing Jodea" A Sweet Funny and Feel Good movie. The storyline is the kind of old fashioned romantic comedy that doesn't seem to get made anymore. Boy meets girl. Boy and girl have issues with each other. Boy and girl fall in love. All done with this lovely My Fair Lady take on it. This is the My Fair Lady of the 21st century. Only here it is about Jodea not being able to act and her Henry Higgins - Zac who is a famous movie director. With lots of hilarious scenes and a fantastic soundtrack this baby is a Must See.

I absolutely loved this movie. I'm not generally a romantic comedy kind of guy but once this movie started I just couldn't stop watching. Chloe Traicos is mesmerising as Jodea and beautifully portrays the change from a terrible actress into an elegant star. Jeff Coppage is spectacular as Zac the bitter and twisted movie director although my personal favorite was Ryan Pratton as Harold the socially inept savant who has the most loveable charm which caused me to partly want Jodea to end up with him.

So the story is the Pygmalion story told in the eyes of Present Day Hollywood. When Jodea a terrible actress has a chance meeting with world famous movie director Zac Kawalsky ( well they had met before he fired her just the week before) when he drives into the back of her car - she uses this opportunity to get into his film. After auditioning disastrously Zac's agent Grant ( brilliantly played by Kent Hatch) makes a bet that he could "never get a performance" out of her. The game is on. This movie does not have a dull moment and you will find yourself laughing the whole way through.

Cute cast and a fun story!

This felt like a 1980's romantic comedy, with its down-and-out (but oh so spunky and adorkable) leading lady and her clever workarounds. Lots of good themes and likeable characters. There were times I thought I had it all figured out, but then a surprise would pop up. Although the script is good, it's not the kind of story where you have to concentrate too hard, which makes for relaxing entertainment. It would be a good date night movie, or a pick-me-up, after a rough week! I extended my workout so I could keep watching and I'll be taking another look at this one, for sure.

Great comedy with a likeness to My Fair Lady with a Hollywood theme! Hidden depths to light hearted banter between characters ! Chuckle out loud moments! I'm still left in awe how Chloe Traicos has the ability to get in and out of that car window ! Give yourself time out to enjoy this movie it will have you thinking about it long after 🍿
