Coming & Going

Rhys Darby's performance as Lee is very good in its believability of character and comic quirkiness. He convincingly plays a doctor who cannot seem to attract women and his shyness in putting himself out there to meet women seems genuine.

He meets Alex (Sasha Alexander) almost by accident: she nearly runs him over in a parking garage. He's been attracted to her for quite some time but never had the courage to even speak to her. The lovely Sasha Alexander subtly shows her acting chops here. Even the movie goer is convinced she finds him interesting because he's in a wheelchair and he cannot convince himself she's attracted to the person inside of him.

This is the perfect rainy day movie, or a lighthearted romantic comedy perfect for those Friday evenings at home. Don't miss it.

Definitely a flawed story on several different levels; however, Sasha Alexander's performance elevated the material to the point that I wanted to give the film 90 minutes of my time.

Sasha Alexander is my favorite actress, so naturally the prospect of watching her in a starring role was more than intriguing. I loved the entire movie and by the end of the film I was amazed by the entire thing! The writing and directing were superb and the plot kept me engaged. I was laughing the entire time and loved the ending. I am giving copies of the DVD to everyone I know so they can experience Coming And Going. Everyone has loved it just as I expected they would! Sasha Alexander was brilliant as Alex and I also must applaud both Rhys Darby and Finnoula Flanagan for their hilarity as well because they add so much to the complex humor that I loved upon first viewing. This is a film I have seen many a time and will enjoy it forever. It's that genius and I love it.

Lighthearted, funny and a wonderful watch, the casting is fabulous, Sasha Alexander is amazing, the highlight of the film for me (I am so learning those dance moves!) and Rhys Darby is so cute in a painful way. There isn't a weak link in this cast, the dull Sister, the nosey Aunt and the drunk whale all made me giggle. Great watch for a girls night, makes you believe in love and that there is someone for everyone out there, no matter what. Edoardo Ponti, writes, directs, produces and has a cameo which sometimes puts me off a film buthe does this so well seriously give this lovely film a go.It was made in less than a month and on a small budget but you honestly wouldn't think so, I had to buy a region 1 as it doesn't appear to be out on region 2 but watched it on my laptop several times and still laugh. Buy it you would be mad not to!

Very cute movie, lighthearted, somewhat adult in nature (mind the little ones - you might have to explain some things!). Funny and sweet in the right places. I was quite surprised to learn that this was a 100% indie project - it has the look and feel of a standard-budget cute summer romcom. The actors are not necessarily well known, though Sasha Alexander's name might be familiar to more people now she's got a hit show, but they're comedy genius. Fionnula Flanagan is terrific as the nosy aunt who lives next door, Rhys Darby is perfect in the role of the guy who just can't get it together enough to make it with a girl, and Alexander is perfect in her role as the girl who's given up on guys (but not completely). Definitely recommend this movie to anyone (though like I said, mind the little ones, as there are definitely a few, um, "adult" moments).
