Coup de foudre à Hollywood

I first saw this film on an airplane to Hawaii and loved it! I had never heard of it before, but it was good in so many ways! If you want to see a movie with great characters and great acting, see this perfect romantic comedy!

Just Write takes a funny and perspective approach to a familiar boy-meets-girl plot and avoids the superficiality that has

plagued many recent film romances. Just Write is an amiable diversion that transcends its implausible material. Just Write opens with the kind of preposterous situation that only unfolds in the movies. Through an ingenious twist of fate

congenial Hollywood tour bus driver and avid movie buff Harold McMurphy (Jeremy Priven) finds himself conversing with beautiful actress Amanda Clark (Sherilyn Fenn), but it's his own concealed nervousness that propels him to lie about his profession. After an awkward pause of contemplation he tells her that he's a screenwriter, she believes him and asks him to read and eventually rewrite the frivolous script for her new film. All of this leisurely leads to a budding romance between the two. The

second we see the two together, we the audience know that they are made for each other, the obstacles in their way merely prolong the obvious denouement. Jeremy Priven's Harold McMurphy is not just another cardboard characterization, Harold has the actual depth and

dimension of a real person; Priven brings his affable character delightfully to life. Sherilyn Fenn and Jeremy Priven are surprisingly credible in their roles, despite some of the fatuous situations.

"Just Write" is a little - no, make that tiny - formula romantic comedy fluff pic full of filler with only two things going for it: Piven and Fenn. Yes, it lags and yes it's silly and predictable. However, the naive trolley-bus driver (Piven) and Hollywood rising star (Penn) do work together. Recommended for those in the mood for romantic comedy but have seen all the big ones.

If your a Hallmark movie lover, you will love this movie. Produced 15 years before the genaric style of Hallmark it follows a basic good honest guy looking for love and on a chance meet with an up and coming star, he lies about being a screen writter rather then being tour bus driver. They both click and as the love grows you are left wondering at what point the lie is found out. A fun, clean, romatic comody all ages will enjoy.

Never heard of this movie-- but woke up this Sunday morning and caught it on HBO. Couldn't stop watching it-- and considering it is absolutely beautiful outside this morning, that says alot about this movie, A sweet (tho' predicatable) movie-- it was definitely worth the time. Jeremy Piven is one of the most "real" actors out there and his role here was totally believable and likeable (it is very unfortunate that Hollywood hasn't appreciated his talent more-- he really is terrific). Sherylynn Fenn did a nice job as well and there was definitely a connection between their characters.

If you are looking for a light romantic flick for a Sunday night when there's nothing on-- or a rainy afternoon-- it's worth the rental.
