    Neither romantic nor comedic

    Some romantic comedies lean towards romance, others go for the laughs, and some are just nuts and fun. This movie isn't any of those things. The beginning of this film seems like it could be a wacky comedy based on the scenes and script, but the lead male and whoever scored the film thought it was a genuine romance film. The combination made the whole film feel flat.

    The romantic pairing was more irritating than charming. I'm not sure if a recast of the leads would fix the movie, there just wasn't enough shown to explain why they would like each other.

    The guy's mom was pretty funny though; she should have had more scenes.

    So sloooow & couldn't be more boring!

    I am a lover of romantic comedies, even goofy ones or lifetime specials many can't bear to watch. I am easily entertained & find myself enjoying many movies in the genre with ratings as low as 4 1/2 to 5 stars. However, even I could not find this movie entertaining! It was appallingly slow & the cast couldn't seem to pull their 'act' together. The jokes fell flat and the couple had NO chemistry. They could have have finished it in 30 minutes & I wish they had. It had the 4 basic scenes, boy meets girl, boy & girl fall for each other, boy loses girl, and a happy ending. Everything in between seemed like several long, dull run on sentences. Don't waste your time. The only thing enjoyable is that it does end.

    Reality of life as a Man and Men wanting to be Man

    And I quote from a review from a above "Personally, I had seen the trailer before seeing this, so I had a general idea of what to expect - and the film pretty much delivered on that. The whole film has a light feel, and being generally predictable throughout, you're never really in any doubt about the final outcome of... well, everything." End quote.

    In my opinion this is Complete rubbish this film was one of a kind. And not all films are to be thrillers. They are all not supposed to be non-suspecting of the end, some films are easier to read than others, Reviewing the Sixth-Sense I doubt you expected that Mel was dead or how about Orphan that young girl was not a older woman. In real life that young girl was portrayed as a older woman portraying a young girl, these are movies that you should rate the thrill and suspension on and definitely do not rate trailers. Young aspiring directors put them together for practice. You should know that the real Directors do not make them unless it's some over budget movie where major actors and actresses are starring, then they budget for sequence's of things that could happen in the movie, that never appear in the film but are used to bring in the audiences. "Falling Up" was a refreshing mid-twenties college flick, they depict a honest genuine young man. It was a good movie. A movie that morally shows what a real man should be in this day in age and this is coming from a 24 year old man white male out of a lower middle class, that has not been emerged in the moral circumspect that most have innately been inherited but a realization of what a real man is to me, was defined while watching "Falling Up" And in addition Men feel like they have to be a chieftain or, controllers or they aren't real Men, when in fact over 40% of men Are and Stay Obedient to there spouse. Because a real Man for 1-Listen's for 2-Compromise's and for 3-Keeps Quite when there is an issue that is of a importance to there partner. Under 60% of men Are not EVER obedient! are not ever 'Let alone' Stay obedient to there partners. The men that think that they are Man. They can not Listen, Compromise or, Keep Quite they are not men and this all goes back to what are founding Fathers and ancestor marked and deemed what makes men, "A Man!" And it is simple they are not strong enough nor, are they intelligent enough for self restraint. To not need to hear themselves speak, and to listen to someone else. To be strong enough to devour deliberate dexterous and, sagacious comments and to acquiesce when told to, to contravene what they have to say; despite what they believe in, and without contemplation of what is, what. To have a inclination that is unmitigated from the anterior of the categorical countenance. To be strong enough(or Man enough haha) to not get what they want. To realize in life, life itself should be the object; and the only object of your desire. Material objects have no importance or significance. To negotiate; To compromise with what someone else needs/or wants. It is hard to give up the gift of your needs/or wants; to give up a piece of your happiness; to a stranger, No it's not giving up your happiness; it is distributing it. It is more sacred than sharing the divine holy spirit, Empathy a Human gift for women and men alike to share with each other. Empathy separates us from the beasts, so find and use empathy more to separate us from them. Compromise to complect everything. And finally to be a real Man's Man not just one of the men but a Man that is worthy. The power to Keep Quite, to find the strength in silence, many can say they have the aptitude to remain quite but they say it with there words. Most that can find this sovereign state will never break there censorship for you if what your saying matters to you. And with unprejudice opinions. Not necessarily homogeneous in thought but despite the most heinous of times, thoughts or, disagreements To Be and Keep Quite. That is what being a Man is to me.NOW! I suppose like Mother always said Keep Quite unless you have something important to say it actually meant something. It was one of the three golden rules not to just getting along in life, but with women; and also a key to being a Real Man. A HuMan

    Such Horrible Music, and Nothing Special

    This movie is a bit slow, and definitely nothing special. The actors do alright overall, and the main characters are reasonably endearing. I rounded up to a six because the movie was basically a six if you can ignore the terrible distracting noises they consider music.

    I do think that if they gave the movie a halfway decent sound track, metered the movies pace better, and gave the characters a little more time to develop; it had the potential for a solid eight. It is a fairly simple and predictable plot, and needed a bit more funny bits to really make it pop. It's a typical mediocre romantic comedy.

    The First half hour or so was Torture!

    They said this guy was in nursing school because he couldn't afford medical school. But they didn't say much about how old he was. On a maturity level, I would guess 17 maybe. The sister is obviously older and much smarter. My wife and I debated turning this off for the first 45 minutes or so. This kid is so immature and downright stupid. Can there really be someone that dumb? In New York City?

    Anyway I won't give it away, but the female lead is terrific. And beautiful. The sister is the brains of the family and the mother is the heart. The kid is just a poor smuck trying to grow up. He has a hard time 'getting it.'

    Special shout-out to Annete O'Toole, the mom, Rachel Leigh Cook, the sister and Snoop Dogg as the co-worker.

      At Scarlett's birthday party, while her father is giving his speech, there is a young woman with black hair in the back of the listening crowd. After he gives Scarlett the picture of the car, the scene cuts to Buck and his friend asking the same young woman to get them drinks. In the next scene, she is still in the back of the crowd on the other side of the room, and then once again talking to the guys in the next shot.
