Picking Up & Dropping Off

It's a cute little romantic movie.

The acting's good. The storie's good. It's not going to win an Oscar or anything, but is something nice to watch when nothing else is on. I recommend this movie.

I´m glad that someone has made a movie about how hard it is to risk your heart for a second time. Or third. This movie is exactly what it promises to be - lovely, amusing and it gives you this good feeling around your heart when it ends. The plot might be not very inventive, but there are millions of ways to tell the story and they have not been all used yet. The cast is perfectly selected although Scott Wolf does not look like a father of an eight year old not even when he is wearing a suit. So, the sparks are on all the right places, supporting cast is lovably supporting and although you could probably predict the whole movie you would not want to switch the channel. It is just the right sort of entertainment for a Sunday evening.

I enjoyed the movie. It was very cute. I have one complaint though. Being from Colorado, I felt that Denver got shafted! None of the sights they showed were of Colorado! The inside shots of the Hockey rink and the Airport ("Denver Airport") were illegitimate. If you are going to do a movie about Denver and show parts of it...then at least send a second unit to take scenic shots of Downtown (LoDo as we call it) Denver so it looks like it was filmed there! Even the Hockey sweaters the fans were wearing were fake! They had iron on numbers instead of sewn on cloth numbers like legit sweaters have. Oy! I hope no one decided not to come to Colorado from this movie! Our airport (DIA) and our Hockey arena (Pepsi Center) are much, much nicer than what was portrayed! And our downtown is a lot nicer than what they shot as well! Shame on the production team!

*Potential spoilage.* Don't get me wrong! It was suitably light-hearted. But, equally predictable, and less-than-riveting. I mean; when is the last time you heard of a romantic comedy where the guy DIDN'T get the girl? Two-point-five stars, from me.

The movie is about a divorced dad who only gets to have his kid for holidays, and a divorcée mom who always have to send her daughter to her dad at holidays. they meet at the airport, but the love story doesn't begin until a year and a half later. It shows a realistic POV on divorced parents, with a fantastic romance in between. Scott Wolf is adorable even if he doesn't really look like a father. and the woman is gorgeous. everything that can go wrong in this story - goes wrong. it doesn't matter if the end is predictable because you have so much fun watching them fall in love. I give it a 5 out of 5, keeping in mind of course thats its a TV flick.
