Love Type D

Loved it super funny. My ta got a bug and it did that the movie was a 8.2. That made me laugh so much after watching it and realizing it was a 5.something.

IN A NUTSHELL: Thanks to Vertical Entertainment, I was able to watch a press screener of this cute British romantic comedy that takes a look at relationships. It asks "How can someone love you yesterday and not today?" Shortly after her boyfriend sends his 12-year-old brother to break the news that she's dumped, Frankie Browne discovers that she has a loser-in-love gene. The gene guarantees that every man she goes out with will inevitably break up with her. Facing a lifetime of romantic failure, Frankie turns to the only genetics expert she knows: her former nemesis, Wilbur, a schoolboy science prodigy. Wilbur develops a maverick theory to reverse her romantic fortunes that sets into motion an unexpected and comic journey into Frankie's past of questionable romantic choices. LOVE TYPE D stars Maeve Dermody, Rory Stroud, Oliver Farnworth, and Tovah Feldshuh. It was written and directed by first-time filmmaker Sasha Collington.

THINGS I LIKED: I had never seen Maeve Dermody in anything before and could see a little bit of Emily Blunt in her. I thought she did a great job in her role, even though she is depressed and mopey for most of the movie.

I didn't recognize any of the British actors. The only person I knew in the entire movie was the American actress Tovah Feldshuh. Rory Stroud, the young actor who plays Wilber is a true stand-out!

I thought it was sweet that a couple with Down Syndrome was included in the montage of other couples in the introduction of the film.

There are some really funny moments, as well as subtle ones. The British sense of humor is somewhat different from the American humor, but I found plenty of things to laugh at. I could see an American remake of this rom-com being made with bigger movie stars.

Fun fact: They say it only takes 3.8 seconds for people to fall in love.

There's a light and bouncy soundtrack.

It's a clever premise that there would be a genetic code for personality and love types that could be tested for.

You get to see a few nice views of London.

THINGS I DIDN'T LIKE: At the 45-minute mark, the movie takes a very different twist and the tone changes.

The ending was cute but I would have liked a teaser about another romantic relationship to conquer.

It doesn't make any logical sense that a person with the "Dumped" gene could inherit the gene because that gene suggests the ancestor wasn't able to find love and have children!

TIPS FOR PARENTS: Some British words like "wenker".

Lesbians are portrayed.

Talk of premarital relations

l!

What started out as a good concept and an interesting plot turned into something boring, tedious and sad.

As if this wasn't enough, the soundtrack half way throught the film (viewed on Amazon Prime) became loud, drowning out the dialog, roughly about the time the storyline started to fall apart.

A waste of talent & casting, why introduce characters if you're not going to use them?

This movie could have been real good, but derailed shortly after the concept got put into place.

On a final note regarding the rating tally, how do 4 reviews (38/40) equal 5 stars, or did no one bother to write a review?

Just saying get your mind out of the gutter and no pun intended. This is more of a classification - of course. A love classification - but in the sense of how well you do with partners ... romantically! I said no funny thoughts and innuendos and all that.

It is quite the funny movie, it may have flaws and still be predictable, but it also is really a breath of fresh air. Which always is good in relationships - at least that's what I heard. Also the players in this have plenty of charisma. Weird and quirky ... and seen way worse movies. This has its heart in the right place (no pun intended)

We watched this thinking it would be quite funny but we were very wrong. This is not worth the watch if you want to laugh. The main character is a psychopath and influences those around her to do insane and illegal things. It was physically painful to watch this.

If you like watching bad movies, DO NOT watch this. It's actually horrible, and not in a way that makes it really entertaining. I think the only nice thing I can say is the cast seems to be very good and they did the best with what they were given. Unfortunately I don't think even legendary actors and actresses could make this movie good.
