Featured reviews
Meghan Markle plays a female version of a total player, and if this is any indication of her acting skills I can see why she married a Prince!
Possibly the worst film I've ever watched! Don't waste your time!!
(and I agree with the review that said it was older than 2013,so not sure if they dragged out an old script??)
Maghan Markel is featured on the publicity photos and cover for this film but make no mistake about it, the star here is Abby Wathen. Her comedic expressions are impeccable. Her character is so believably naive and hopeful, you can't help but to root for her happiness. I laughed out loud at least 10 times at her reactions and un-inhibited goofiness.
so, here we got two girls who rent an apartment in l.a., the rent in this city, especially in west Hollywood area is outrageously high, yet these two young women neither obviously got no steady jobs, the main character with a day-dreaming problem still tries so hard to get a 'tooth fairy' dental commercial hiring temp job, yet she does not seem to worry about how to pay her next month rent, still can afford sitting in her room day dream to meet a guy she encountered in a coffee shop. the other girl is busy in meeting guys on date.com and bring the new stud into her apartment for one night stand. so, they both got no jobs, they both do not like millionaire off-springs with steady monthly allowances from their foundations their parents set up for them, they still can afford dating, buying and eating ice cream, watching TV, going to coffee shop, buying newly released how-to non-fiction, manicuring their nails in expensive saloon... and the young man that main girl role dream about encountering again is not a rich guy but another struggling absolutely non-talent screenplay writer, but again, he could afford renting (or even owning?) a decent apartment in downtown l.a.? are you bullshxxting me? so i must point out here is this screenplay was obviously written by a day-dreaming poor struggling young writer who got no steady job and incomes, so he dreamed up such a ridiculous script to fulfill his day dreams, wishing a big pie would fall onto his laps. this is absolutely a unrealistic fantasy that only the imbeciles would buy it.
Bad acting, weak plot. In my opinion it was just bad, And extremely cliché.
You can see where the plot is going since the very first moments, but isn't this the case for a lot of rom-coms? Except for, a lot of them actually end up being fairly gripping.
It wasn't the case for this one. The storyline ended up being really lame, and the characters were absolutely dull. While it's true that Meghan Markle's character sparks it up a little bit, her acting is really underwhelming, though not altogether terrible. The main character, Laura, is instead more believable, but the story and the photography really ruin all her efforts (see the 10-second scene where she stares at something in the distance in an attempt to show her deep thinking).
Just like many school projects, you can see potential and have an occasional laugh, but they still remain... school projects.
The camera angles and filming were particularly bad.
