Slightly Single in L.A.

I do not know how I came to watch this film. I guess my friend who recommended it to me does not understand that these types of films are not for me. Since I do not have anything better to do today, I will write a review for this movie although I do not know was it a good idea. Plot. It is a typical teen to early twenties movie. Hollywood with its glorious roads, streets, shops, studios and sprawling neighbourhoods is a great setting for a film like this. I love California and the fact it gave us Hollywood. Plot is really, well you can find a lot of similar plots on a web page;) Dialouge was not that empty, there were some good dialogues here. It was not THAT bad. Acting was OK for this kind of film. I survived worse. All in all if you are a teen dreaming about Hollywood and its glory this is a film for you. Otherwise, loose no sleep over it if you do not get to see it.

If you're looking for a film so catastrophically crafted that you can sit and pick apart with your friends as you choke on your own bile, you'll love this movie.

It's got it all:

• robotic acting
• weird giggling
• let's dance girls!
• 13 year old girl reading her diary- style narration
• creepy children at a church speaking to strangers
• cheesy 80s soundtrack

Winner winner

She is never alone, but this is her town now I guess. Good enough barely.There are some touching moments tucked away in this bit of fluff, and you will find them worth your time getting to. Very by the book chick flick stuff, but the important thing is it's Lacey Chabert in a not made for cable, Hallmark family thing, or some voice over gig, or the dumb girl in the back. She is finally in the lead roll, just too bad that it had to be in this movie most of you would never watch Thirst so it doesn't count(but it was awsomer than this one). To wrap up it could be a good movie, the characters are real enough, and you do get into the story which is why you are watching so I say Enjoy it.

I like Lacey Chabert. She was good in Party of Five (and was alright in Mean Girls), but this movie is painfully awful. The story is so tacky, it's tackier than the short stories I wrote when I was 12 (trust me, they were TACKY). The acting? Oh my lord what is this even? Actually, I can't decide which one is worse: the acting or the soundtrack. Ok maybe both. Also: as a photographer myself, I'm slightly offended on how Dale is able to take a blurry photos when the objects aren't even moving (they're literally sleeping). I mean, COME ON. I was looking for something "light" to watch because I needed to relax, but I think now I'm slightly more stressed. So this movie is definitely NOT something to watch if you're looking for quality - of any kind.

It's amazing what a Thanksgiving food coma will do to a girl. Case in point: I watched this entire film. The entire bloody thing. Those are 90 minutes I will never, ever, be able to get back!

Oh. Holy. Hell. What did I do????

To say the writing is insipid is being generous. The dialogue is downright lame, and when it's delivered by actors who seem completely unenthusiastic about appearing on camera, the entire thing is just painful. The tragedy here is that I have seen all of these people, every one of them, in roles that showed they are actually capable of acting. It's like they read the screenplay, realized that no one was ever going to see this piece of tripe after all, and then decided to dial it in. From Norway.

I'd suggest you skip it, but if you're determined, make sure you've stocked up on a bottle or three of wine first. It's the only way you'll survive.
