The Competition

Wow is the acting wooden as hell in this!!! Thora Birch is in one of my fav movies....Now and then, Ghost world...to name but a few. But she is AWFUL in this, emotionless, monotone, and so wooden and stilted. Each scene is overly long with boring dialogue. It would look out of date if it was filmed in the early 2000's. and the stock background music is so overwhelmingly abused in every single scene it makes my ears bleed, i actually dont think there is a single scene in this movie that doesnt have background music! its so unnecessary and cheapens the film even more than the writing and acting does, and thats saying something. There is no chemistry between Birch and Klein...none whatsoever. Birch acts like she doesnt even want the paycheck from this movie...

The leads have no chemistry, and the plot is ridiculous in all the wrong ways. There is nothing in this movie that is not done better by another film.

Listen, it isn't the best romantic comedy but it's good enough to watch once. I haven't seen those main actors in a long time so it made it easier to watch. Yes, the directing is a little off but I thought the acting was ok. Thora is suppose to play a cold monotone person but other viewers see her differently. The movie had a lot of potential but I don't think it's because of the actors. Anyways, just watch it because you always have to see for yourself.

Terrible from the script to the acting and editing. That stupid constant monotonous background music was horrible. People who made this movie should never ever have a career. These mofos introduced a Spanish "exotic" character whose spoke Italian ffs. There are no Alejandros in Italy only Alessandros.

The script is terrible, hair is distractingly bad, bad over acting. The only redeeming quality is the cinematography.
