Shut Up and Kiss Me!

The first half of the movie was alright. It was kind of cute and quirky. But then I think they just lost direction and weren't sure how to wrap up the movie because it just got worse and worse. Some of the plot points weren't ever explained and seemed wildly unrealistic or confusing. The characters were unlikeable and absurd. The flow seemed very jumpy, possibly attributed to a poor editing job. There were way too many viewer assumptions and leaps of logic that were necessary to even make the plot coherent. The producers mentioned it took them five years to complete, maybe they just got tired of trying to make a good film. It really was a waste of time.

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!!

I'd rather watch paint dry than this movie. It is a comedy that never should have been made...for the simple reason that it isn't even remotely funny. The dialog is amateur. The characters dull, uninteresting, and the type of people you wouldn't want to spend ten seconds with. I can only suspect that the previously positive posted review of this film was posted by the film's producer or director!!! No one with any degree of intelligence would find anything to be amused by in this train wreck of a film. Save yourself the rental fee, and the experience of a 100 minute comedy without a laugh or even a gentle smile in it. Everyone involved with this embarrassment should be prevented from making other films. I purchased the movie used from a local rental shop, and it obviously won't be missed from their rental rack. The movie's stars (Christopher Barnes, Brad Rowe, Kristin Richardson and Burt Young) all look embarrassed and bored.

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.
