The Year of Spectacular Men

The film has some poor reviews on this page. I imagine a story written about a young woman and finding oneself is not going to appeal to everyone. This film is female driven and there is a big market for that out there. The main actors are endearing and the story of being lost and confused would be relatable to many.

The fact that three of the main characters were family made this feel warm and authentic. The second act which becomes more about family than about men was my favourite. Recommend this for anyone who likes films made by hand, with a good soundtrack and a few good laughs.

A charming film that will appeal mostly to young and 20-30-something females about navigating early adulthood and dating. Not LOL funny but it has its humorous moments and pretty good character development.

Okay, I realize this isn't a classic and I understand why many people didn't like it, since at the end of the day it's all about taste. What I don't understand is, why are there so many low ratings when it's clear that the movie fulfilled its purpose. I rated it so high compared to most people because it was lovely and I think the overall rating doesn't do it justice. Furthermore I like these kinds of movies that follow somebody's journey through life, especially when they are at a low point. And this one really didn't disappoint me. We watched our young protagonist deal with pretty much everyday problems of a woman. I mean I get why for some people this would be kind of boring since more or less we deal with things like that in real life, but that's exactly one of the reasons I liked it. It's painfully realistic and it seems to me that it comes from a place of love for one's family and anguish for what's gonna come next. It isn't your typical comedy, but it made me laugh, it made me cry, and I'll admit it was kind of awkward at times. But hey, isn't that life?

Apart from the quaintness of the real life Mother and Daughters thing this rom com is not that great. The way the cast delivers their one liners in a monotone makes it hard to appreciate the comedy. A little more mention of adult things than typical Lifetime. Not lol funny. The guys are a little unspectacular. Sometimes the shouting of the characters borders on shrill.

Not a must watch.

When you're in an entertainment family like this, it must be fun. Some good elements here. Witty dialog, unique humor. The paparazzi characters were a nice touch. Nothing to dislike. Solid first effort.
