Shut Up and Kiss Me!

Very few movies are a romantic comedy as well as an action-packed buddy movie. It was shot in and around South Florida and shows us some of the prettiest scenery of any movie I have seen in a while. The gags come one right after the other. But it's the minor characters that steal the show here! Pay close attention to the "Smiley" character (he rarely smiles). This is the writer's first movie and a low-budget independent film at that, but you wouldn't know it from the screen. Between the writing, the directing and the cast of characters (Frank Bonner is in this!!) this movie will have you laughing from start to finish. This really is the sleeper movie of the year!

Shut up and Kiss Me! is a great comedy. It has everything in it: talented actors, very pretty girls, a clever plot, great shots of Miami and Miami Beach and stretched limos. The movie is far better than most big productions from Hollywood. Krista Allen is the true star of the movie. She is not only hot or a 10 but also very funny. Brad Rowe played his role as a beach boy well. Ryan as Christopher Daniel Barnes did a good job as a struggling financial broker who stuck gold twice (meeting his girl and getting a big account). Burth Young (the coach from the Rocky movies) was obviously the most experienced actor playing a "Soprano" from Miami. Shut up and Kiss Me! should do well on the silver screen.

I am a huge Krista Allen fan, and I recently bought this on DVD from the UK after reading a good review of it on this site. After getting it, my wife and I watched it together, and I have to say that both of us thought it was really bad. The acting was poor, the writing was bad, and the whole experience was a waste of time. The only thing that was good in this movie was that Krista Allen was hot (although her accent didn't seem very Italian). I think I would have been much happier downloading some screen shots of Krista, and skipping the terrible experience of watching a movie that should on be shown on Cinemax late night or USA up all night.

What a bad movie!

The movie is pretty bad, but it does feature the highly talented and enigmatic star Cynthia Morani. Just the chance to see her for a few minutes on screen makes purchasing this movie a must do.

The depth and intensity she brought to the part of Chad's mom rivals some of Meryl' Streep's best work. Unfortunately, she's unable to save an otherwise bland romantic comedy.

The script needed a lot more work and some of the framing of the shots was amateurish.

Realistically, though the only thing that could have saved this movie would have been I'd the director could have somehow convinced Ms. Morani to have taken on one of the lead roles...I guess their budget wouldn't permit it.

Like most movies on TV, esp. in the morning, this was just a "filler" to take up space. However, there were NO external reviews on IMDb!! Is any movie that terrible? the movie was kind of silly, teeny bopper stuff that might be appreciated by ditsy pre-teens trapped in a hospital room. The guys were eye candy, alright, but no real acting, dialogue or plot involved. I think that the IMDb guidelines dictating a minimum of 10 lines is cruel and unusual punishment, so I'm filling up the space in my comment with that brilliant observation. Let's see, I still have two more lines to go to meet that silly requirement, and ---now I think my comment can be officially approved by the Poobahs at IMDb. No wonder they don't get the hundreds of comments that they should get on a site like this!!
