Namorados por Acaso

This was the midday movie today and I saw Patrick Dempsey's name and I thought "Oh no! Not another 80s teen flick starring Patrick Dempsey!" Then I saw Brad Pitt in the opening scenes and I thought I'd stick around. I'm glad I did because it was quite a sweet movie and well worth a look. Patrick was great, Slater was a bit over the top but that was what the character called for. All in all it was a nice movie that had a lot to say about love and relationships. It falters a little towards the end but overall I really liked it and might even consider seeing it again.

Have to be honest, it's not the best film I have ever seen, but the film does have it's moments. I have seen Helen Slater act better in other films than this and the storyline is totally unbelievable. The film is basically about a boy meets girls, girls helps boy do better in life, boy and girl get mad with each other etc you get the picture. Bottom line, if you have a couple hours to kill, go ahead and watch it

Last night i had the chance to watch this not so popular, not so well known movie and i must say its definitely better than 5.6(current rating) .Patrick Dempsey despite playing a role of teenager has a character much matured than that in Cant buy me love.But is very natural and plays his part of a aspiring writer perfectly. Helen Slater was a total surprise. This was d first movie of hers i have seen and she plays a really difficult role with much ease and effortlessly. Happy Together is so much better than crappy teen comedies and other rubbish RomComs.Overall its a good watch with lots of entertainment.Recommended for fans of RomCom.They wont be disappointed

It might not be a classic, it might not be realistic, but it is certainly entertaining. This is just a good, fun film that I just keep watching!

Its a typical 80's teen college story, with stereotypical characters bursting from every seam. At times you cringe but unless you're looking for something deep and meaningful from the film or want to watch something "ground breaking" then just sit back and enjoy.

Patrick Dempsey stars well as teenager actor, reach in stardom on Loverboy and aftermaths made fine comedies, Helen Slater follow the same steps after shinning in The Legend of Billy Jean became an upcoming star by her undeniable beauty, making several movies hereinafter nonetheless both grow up and the magic is done, thus they headed to TV-series for good and which remained together, what a waste.

On auspicious Happy Together that flopped wretchedly due the lack of chemistry over such distinct couple, Dempsey wasn't the heartthrob properly speaking, instead Helen Slater fits in in this beauty standard, thus the skinny boy was miscasting for the role, worst the lame screenplay impose a dull and excentric affair may laying down the epicenter of the failure, a tiresome offer that never gets fire, a weird supporting casting also didn't help to much, whoever wrote it wasn't inspired whatsoever.

Somehow both in short time starting down the hill, end up working on countless shows, it's a pity indeed, Patrick Dempsey should carry on stereotyped character as weak-coward guy that often got in trouble in funny situations, in other hand the gorgeous Helen Slater should be exploited as sexy girl in romantic pictures or mature characters, whatever they made some noise on the eighties and early nineties.

Thanks for reading.
