Something's Brewing

This is a strong rom vom which could have been boring and typical, but for Jason Cook's performance of charm and comedy. He manages to make his character real. Unfortunately, Kristin Murdock's performane was perfectly good, there were moments where her believability was more Like you could see her acting. (Sorry Kristin! It is a problem in a lot of stage and screen and the director should have fixed it, because I think you could have pulled it off.) The movie followed the rom com tropes (thsnk God there wasn't a clothing changing montouge -- those are WAY over done.

The script's biggest issue was the leads weird following him and digging into where he lived, but complaining to him when he didn't talk to her about her ex. What a double starndard since her best friend (who did great job) told her to just ask.

I know without it would be no story, but seriously make the questioning more important than what was here. Also the daughter loved her way too easily.

Fun though and worth watching.

The first half of the movie felt super thin in terms of plot. Basically the first 40 minutes (and really most of the film overall) felt like a really long and boring series of first dates between two people.

After the initial plot points of her losing her job and boyfriend...nothing much happened for way too long. We spent way too much time with the leads getting to know one another.

In addition to a thin plot...the film also lacked any real humor and those other X factors which make these movies fun. It was really just boring.

The acting was decent but not great. But really...my biggest criticism is that this film was not entertaining.

There are so many exceptional movies to watch. Same genre, same theme, same outcome, .. but other than two attractive main characters that wasn't the best in acting in my opinion, the plot could've been better written. As soon as one day's life event was over, the rest was predictable. Just when one expects more developing plots, there ain't any but the usual twists. There really wasn't a plot-very flat line! So many exceptional movie out there, move on and don't waste your time. I only watched due to good rating but I disagree with the plain storyline had anything to sell on spending time watching this one.

Ok, I was just about to write about this. I thought was just like a permanent like pimple on her chin, but since most saying a bit, makes me want to Google her other movies to see if it's there. I googled, not a zit, thats a bump or sonething on face. Like other actors & actresses, just part of her that she probably has no plans on fixing.

I honestly stumbled on the reviews because when googled wardrobe, someone mentioned shoes. When went to that sorta interview, I did notice the slingback shoes the lady had on and was seeing if could find.

Oh yes, one of the first things I noticed when the movie first started and she was walking to her job and I was looking at the people and what they had on and then she came out the job like, who knows how much later, and the same people were walking by again. Yes, it's just one of those things I do when I'm watching a movie. I'm always looking at stuff where Isn't there somebody that has that job to point out or notice these things?

I feel silly having to even bring this up. But in the interest of science and the embarrassment of the reviewer who said it was a zit, here I go. In case you haven't seen this movie, don't be dissuaded by the giant zit review. It's NOT a zit, it's a mole, nothing more. I didn't even notice it until I read that review.

Back to the movie. It's a cute movie. Totally a romantic romp that is set in the big city. It's fun, romantic, and just what you would expect from Up TV. The acting is spot on and the characters are as believable as can be. Enjoy it for what it is.

I really enjoyed it. Kristi Murdoch is pretty and talented. Jason Cook is very believable as her love interest, also very talented.
