    The Perfect Romantic Comedy

    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!

    Finally, a good romantic comedy!

    I have sat through many romantic comedies. Almost all of them have been lame and predictable. Then I rented JUST WRITE one night from Blockbuster. I rented it because I am a big fan of Jeremy Piven and I heard that it was really funny. To be honest, I didn't expect to like it. I did. It was one of the only romantic comedies I've seen where there is actual chemistry between the leads and it was one of the only romantic comedies where I laughed. I laughed a lot during this movie. Jeremy Piven is hilarious. I find him to be one of America's most underrated actors. He does a great job in this movie. He gives a very memorable performance. This is a movie that all Jeremy Piven fans should see. If you want to laugh, rent JUST WRITE.

    A delightful romance

    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 a fun movie!

    This is as the cover of the video says a romantic comedy. A fun movie that although it is not going to change the world gives you a moment away from the day's trials and tribulations. Isn't that the best thing that a movie can do?

    Jeremy Piven is a great comedian who can take any material and make it his, so any fan must see this movie. He and Ms. Fenn should make more movies together because their chemistry is right. This movie was made by men who have never before or since made another film. If I understand it correctly the producers are dentists who love movies and wanted to make this one based on their script.

    Rent it and share it with someone you love with popcorn.

    Hallmark movie style, years before hallmark movies

    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.
