The List

Dialogue is mostly made up of cliches, plot is unsurprising, acting is bland and the characters are absurd and unnuanced. All in all a terrible experience and really a total waste of time. Why didn't anyone pull the brakes on this, before getting this far?

The movie suffers mostly from the writers lack of imagination, like the politician without empathy, the weddingplanner without empathy, the boyfriend without empathy (sorry, did I repeat myself? Maybe I should be a script writer), the conversations without depth, the sad sighs from the audience, when the dialogue is trying to be funny.

Maybe just add som kittens and puppies, so there could be something interesting to watch, while wasting precious time on this.

I simply can not recomend this to anyone and I don't know, how the movie ends, because like my ex-wifes cooking, I couldn't finish it all.

Wow, what a completely disgusting premise for a film. Society is going down the drain.

At the end of the day the acting and characters were mid, but the fact this story was even made makes me sick to my core.

Why is it that films like this can even be greenlighted and put into production? I imagine the film will do well just because of the current state of the world with social media, debauchery, dating apps, etc.

If I could turn back time and not even know this film existed I certainly would. I will just be spending the next couple weeks trying to erase this film from my memory with lots of drugs and alcohol.

I really like the lead actress, I've seen her in another movie and she's just lovely.

The movie has the feel of a romantic comedy but doesn't follow the formula for one. So it's light hearted and fun but isn't as sappy as some can be. Not that there's anything wrong with those sorts of movies, we watch them because we know the formula and like it.

It's a good story that is very watchable and keeps you "engaged" ;)

It feels slightly long in the middle and perhaps lacks a bit of direction scriptwise. I liked it and think it promises to deliver what it claims.

Just enjoy the ride and maybe learn a little about being engaged to someone and how that may not work out. Some of us have been there.

A solid movie that is enjoyable and I give it 7/10 as in I'd watch it again.

Thanks for reading.

If you're looking for a more edgy rom com than the usual schlock that all the streamers serve up, then The List is for you.

The script is really good. Even if it's not quite pulled off in how it was all thrown together, you can just get a strong sense of the cleverness behind the jokes. And when it gets funny, IT GETS FUNNY. I won't spoil some of the surprises but there are some wacky scenes in here that cracked me up!!!

I heard people complaining about it being predictable. People! Have you ever seen a rom com before???? Even the best ones of all time are predictable.

Settle in for the date night movie of the year. It's a perfect one to throw on and kick back on a Saturday night.

The List is a perfectly decent movie. It's quite well made. It's quite well acted. And it's quite funny in parts.

Where it falls down is it's lack of oomph, lack of punch, lack of edginess. This is mainly down to the direction and the writing......and the plot with it's conveniences and contrivances......and the ending that is telegraphed in the first half of the movie.....and the weak comedy editing make the slapstick scenes seem a little wooden.

The biggest problem with the direction is the almost constant use of montage and the problem with the script is the constant LA pop culture references.

Maybe singletons in California will get more from this movie more than I did.
