The Seat Filler

I happen to be a man that likes the romantic movies. I developed this affection from watching the old-school stuff with Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers, Cary Grant, Doris Day, et 'al. I liked this movie a lot. It was marvelously funny, sentimental, interesting, simply a fun movie. Hollywood would do good to allow such movies to go to major theaters. It has very little profanity. I mean it uses language you can take a 13 yr. old to without cringing. No blatant skin showing or violence. Good solid movie. I went to the premier of this movie in Washington, D.C. The audience had a ball with it. DeRay Davis is "off-the-hook". Kelly Rowland is beautiful. Duane Martin is well directed and believable. The rest of the cast fits in well and are not annoying.

I tend to be pretty easy on romance movies; people tend to know what to expect with these. But sometimes there's a part of the movie that just takes away from everything else. The male best friend character was that for me. He works well enough in small doses, but the longer he lingers in a scene, the more annoying he gets. There was a similar issue with the competing love interest, but the team behind this movie had enough thought to limit his scenes to prevent him falling into the same problem.

The movie as a whole is decent enough, but the character previously mentioned made it hard to watch at times.

I have no idea why I watched this garbage to completion. I guess I was just tired and it was very, very late at night. Ridiculous, totally unrealistic plot, horrible acting, and if I heard the characters say "anyways" or "wit" (with) or "dat" (that) ten times, I am not exaggerating. Shemar Moore makes an appearance in this film...why, I have no idea. Nude photos of him surfaced on a gay beach which doesn't surprise me. But back to the movie: Don't waste your time. Lousy, ridiculous plot, characters who mangle the English language; very trite, but maybe if you're trying to sleep, it will work out for you. Lame trash at best.

This was a very good movie. At first I bought it because I liked Kelly's acting and I wanted to support her, but if the truth be told--- she's a better actress than Beyonce! Acting seems natural to her (shout out for playing the role of a singer and not over doing it). I think that if a lot more people gave her a chance she could win an Oscar.

Duane Martin is a struggling law student who takes a job as a seat filler to make in order to pay bills. He is distracted one at an awards ceremony when Kelly sits besides him. Not realizing how interested she is in him,he begins to go through tons of trouble to convince her that he is someone he isn't. This is a MUST SEE!

Kelly Rolland was great and shows she can act as well as sing.I believe that she should be given more opportunities to display her skills as a actress. i fill that the martins did a great job in casting her as a lead. and the movie itself was a great movie a lot of fun and romantic at the same time i loved it. i wish they would release it in the movie theaters so that every one would get a chance to see it, it would allow people to see a good romantic so called black film and know that we can do other things besides sell drugs and shoot people in our movies. it was a good, good and it should be out there so it can reach everyone. And to the Dwayne and Tisha keep writing these great stories and keep making people aware of our talents for all types of roles
