Baggage Claim

Flight attendant Montana (Paula Patton) is about to turn 30 and just broken up with her boyfriend as he was cheating on her. Her sister is engaged to get married soon and her 5 times married mother is pressuring her to get married.

Egged on by her friends, Montana has 30 days to get proposed by one of her ex boyfriends. Her coworkers conspire with other airline workers and airport staff to fly on planes where her ex-boyfriends happen to be there. This include a rising conservative politician, a hip hop artist and a businessman. However right under Montana's nose is her best friend Bill.

This is the kind of dumb film that gives romantic comedies a bad name. It is not funny nor romantic and hopelessly predictable.

Do you really want to allow your mother pestering you to get married, someone who failed with her own husbands? Why do you want to reconnect with your ex's? There were probably a good reason why you broke up with them in the first place. In fact why does Montana want to get married? She could just live with someone and see what develops. The film has an awful misogynic undertone.

I don't know what movie the critics were watching, but the ratings were totally unfair. The audience and I found the movie to be very funny. David Talbert produced a funny, relevant movie. See it with your female friends because they will find things in it are so true. Nothing can be more funny than the truth. So don't take the critics word for this movie see it yourself.

Paula Patton, Adam Brody and Jill Scott were so funny. I expected Adam to be funny because of his work on 'The O.C.", but Paula and Jill were pleasant surprises. Jennifer Lewis delivered another excellent performance and Taye Diggs understated performance was dead-on for his character.

Formulaic girl looking for Mr. Right movie, when he's always right under her nose. So many jerks, reintroduced back into her life in an actually believable way. An army of airport colleagues making sure she's on the wrong flight with Mr. Wrong & Mr. Right is always there to pick up the pieces. The Mum is a bit OTT. The handsome rich guy was a nice touch. So, does she end up with Mr. Right ? Watch it & find out 😊

I have no idea whether or not Paula Patton actually read the script before signing up for the role, but this movie certainly does little to nothing but justify her talents. If you've watched her in Deja Vu, then this movie will strike you as the lowest she's ever sunken in her movie roles. The storyline is very weak to say the least. You can literally guess what will happen from one scene to the very last, including the credits. I felt sorry for actors like Trey Songz. If he is serious about acting, this may not have been a good movie to make his first impression in. The movie's attempt at humor was also poor. There was only one joke the audience laughed at in the whole movie. I am not surprised the movie was pulled out from the theaters in my neighborhood after only a few days. It is one that belongs to the DVDs.

I love a good romantic comedy but Baggage Claim in nowhere even near that type of movie. It seemed more like an corny SNL skit that lasts over an hour. I had the movie already figured out in the first 15 minutes and had to endure the rest of the flick. This plot is just one notch above that goofy Soul Plane from a few years back and a few below Tyler Perry's Madea Goes to Jail. A better script, more realistic characters and a more serious touch the movie might be average. Paula Patton is beautiful as always that you can't deny and Ty Diggs is an accomplished actor but they need to move on into some more serious roles. My advise is don't waste your time on this one. I still can't believe I didn't walk out.
