Something's Brewing

The story starts out like so many. A woman has a really bad day and loses her high paid job and her boyfriend is in bed with someone else when she goes to see him. So her world is shaken and she retreats. For most of the rest of the movie, the tension is that she is leaving the city permanently. Then she meets a guy by accident. And he is hiding something, maybe nothing big. For much of the movie, that's the story. The relationship is hook in the movie.

Later in the movie, there are a couple of bumps, the biggest one being something seen that is misunderstood. The bumps occur with a good bit of time left and one of them is kind of stupid on one person's part and the other is stupid on the other person's part. This dinged my enjoyment, even if you know everything's going to get worked out. In a very predictable way.

I thought the frequent meetings with the BFF for advice was a little overplayed.

Maybe some of the appeal for me was Kristi Murdock, whom I have only seen one other time. She has a beautiful smile.

If you are looking for a complex storyline, this isn't it. Anything but. But, if like me, you like developing love stories with good dialogue especially between the two leads, then maybe give it a chance.

Very cute movie I saw this movie several times earlier this year but it's one I don't mind watching again. Somebody else posted lead had a zit so they couldn't watch I have yet to see it and I've seen the movie several times in the spring. This movie is realistic & refreshing. I hate movies that have everything go the way the lead characters want and nothing bad happens to them their lives are perfect. It's refreshing how they are honest with each other about their lives. Although both leads are attractive they aren't overly sexy. Too many movies center on the fact that leads need to be the best looking. Looks & trying to make the other person happy aren't always the most important you need to be happy with yourself first. I also was impressed that she let him take the lead in the dates and was a traditional woman that wants man to take the lead.

After reading the info, I anticipated the movie would be better than it was. The acting, editing, wardrobe, scenes, and drama were all over the place. Besides, the unflattering angles, clothing, and expressions, the storyline was awful in general. I think the main problems can be summed up as the movie being low budget.

Why did she follow him without a good reason or show up outside his house? There are a lot of awkward scenes/ assumptions. Also, the normal breakup (in these movies) is poorly written. Then, for them to "make up" only for another over dramatized incident. The resolution comes writhing in the last five minutes. How does that make sense?

There are so many exceptional movies to watch. Same genre, same theme, same outcome, .. but other than two attractive main characters that wasn't the best in acting in my opinion, the plot could've been better written. As soon as one day's life event was over, the rest was predictable. Just when one expects more developing plots, there ain't any but the usual twists. There really wasn't a plot-very flat line! So many exceptional movie out there, move on and don't waste your time. I only watched due to good rating but I disagree with the plain storyline had anything to sell on spending time watching this one.

I feel silly having to even bring this up. But in the interest of science and the embarrassment of the reviewer who said it was a zit, here I go. In case you haven't seen this movie, don't be dissuaded by the giant zit review. It's NOT a zit, it's a mole, nothing more. I didn't even notice it until I read that review.

Back to the movie. It's a cute movie. Totally a romantic romp that is set in the big city. It's fun, romantic, and just what you would expect from Up TV. The acting is spot on and the characters are as believable as can be. Enjoy it for what it is.

I really enjoyed it. Kristi Murdoch is pretty and talented. Jason Cook is very believable as her love interest, also very talented.
