Review by alan_dammit

This movie is just funny. I do not believe that the writers wanted to make a movie other than funny. Surely they didn't mean to make a masterpiece you could compare to the best comedies in the history of the cinema. This is just entertainment, to help you let go heavy thoughts for a while. That's it. Monica Potter's acting is the best thing in the film. She is really communicative and can be as expressive as a child. She is lovable. In the first part of the movie she strongly reminded me a young Monica Vitti; an Italian bright actress. Even in the look. I wonder if she knows Monica Vitti and I would like to know what does she think about her. The first part of the movie was very promising. In the second part, the movie is a bit too banal, even for a movie intentionally based on common places. Anyway all the clueless situations in the movie are there to put in evidence the "story of love" in it. So the movie is not stupid or clueless itself, nor a file of gags. In the end, head over heels wants us to notice the value of sincerity, contrasting with all the incredible, absurd and clueless situations of life. Amanda is the only one that, in the middle of confusion, tries to keep her "head on the shoulders" and coherently searches for a true love. But she is a bit unsure. So Jim/Bob is the x along the story until the happy end. So the movie speaks about... you know, the old good sincerity that wins against appearance and oddity. The old good values. Nothing more, nothing less. :) Alan Dammit
