Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.
Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
tlopesio What this movie lacks in big stars it makes up for with charm. It doesn't take itself too seriously and almost satirizes the romantic comedy genre - in an entertaining and irreverent way. It doesn't drag anywhere and moves along pretty quick, sometimes actually causing me to rewind the DVD player to see if I missed anything. There seems to be a lot in this movie: go cart racing, stock car racing, singing, dancing, fighting, crying and it all serves the plot well (especially a great serenade scene with Paul Sorvino singing Frank Sinatra.) I like the leads but feel that the supporting characters could've been explored more but it's a nice little flick that makes you feel good at the end.
Ian Bourne This movie is twisted nonsense from the get-go... Ex-Angel from "Buffy: Vampire Slayer" Boreanaz plays another kind of vampire - Lance Valenteen, who feeds financially off of guys who want back their girls...Valenteen/Boreanaz says he can pull the trick off as he never experienced true love, and there is the crux of this dreck... It seems the scriptwriters feel you're nobody without somebody, what a hump of steaming dog pucks! Does not love of self become key in the ability to love others? I am not surprised to see the author has an Italian name, this concept of completeness via marriage/union to me seems that it is usually based from somewhere in the Mediterranean - be it Rome or Tel Aviv! The best part of the picture was the band scene with Paul Sorvino and his cronies wooing the old widows and appearing to be regaining their youth - albeit lust can play a big a part to rejuvenate or energise as can true love, and that difference in this movie with the senior citizens never seemed resolved to me...When Boreanaz' character learns he was played as he had played before and he was angry this was true and in his mind justified, as would any normal person, despite his own chicanery for profit! Yet when he talked again with his old "friends" so soon? I felt that was nonsense, as for him taking the car back and rekindling his relationship with Sophia/Shaughnessy I felt this was equally unreal - am I the only one who would say to put the car deeply where the sun don't shine? This movie had to be financed and made through know-how, as in I know a friend or family member who can do this, etc.http://bajanreporter.blogspot.com/
UglyToesPete Hi all, This was a cute, good little flick. The leading man Lance Valenteen (actor David Boreanaz...the one all the girls are ga-ga about) plays a fiendish Mr. Fix It who hires out his services to seduce the ex-girlfriends of his jilted clients. To seduce them, he gets priviliged information from his clients, then assaults the young lady in question with lots of charm and devasting good looks. Inevitably, they all fall hard for this whirlwind Romeo with chiseled pecs.Just when he's sure they've fallen for him, he springs on them a shower of their worst fears and displeasure coming from your boyfriend and trusted person status. Upon such devastation of their yearn for love and sex, each girl automatically calls on thieir ex-boyfriends for solace and friendship. Et voila, another fee earned for Lance.Lance however, is having doubts about his career just when he must tackle not only his biggest race event as a driver, but as Mr. Fix It too. Sophia (Alana De La Garza) is the haughty ex-girlfriend of Lance's desperate new client. Va va voom can best describe her. With talent, a beautiful flawless face, and a depth to her eye, not to mention someone ALSO thought of giving the girl a script to work for, she makes Lance fall for her! That wasn't a spoiler, what else did you expect from this flic? This is a busy film. The sequence of events actually make sense, this is not usual in a romcom, and you feel engaged. Surprisingly, this movie also attempts to say something about life and relationships and leaves the floor open for you to think what you wish.I'm a Alana De La Garza fan now.And here is the spoiler:Watch out for the last 5 minutes of the film though. This is the war of the sexes....with women usually winning these days. The lead actor's masculinity is castrated in the last five minutes.Apart from that excess, it was a fun smart flic.Cheers from Montréal.
substancemedia Well, this movie started out funny but quickly deteriorated. I thought it would be more 'adult oriented' humor based on the first few moments but then the movie switched into a bad made-for-Disney Channel type mode, especially a go-kart racing scene that was incredibly long. Alana De La Garza is gorgeous but has a really fake Italian accent. The movie looked and sounded very independent and low budget. There was one very cute moment which I'll just call the serenading scene but overall this one was a yawner. The laughs are very few and far between. The end surprise for "Mr. Fix It" is so ridiculous it left me more mad than anything else. Might be worth a look if you can catch it for free or TV but don't waste your money buying or renting this movie.
