Grimerlana Plenty to Like, Plenty to Dislike
Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Amy Adler Julia (Piper Perabo) is a fetching college student with a host of admirers and big dreams of a career. Enter Drew. He is a law student and from the minute he sees Julia, he chases her relentlessly. When he finally captures her, Drew convinces Julia to move cross country with him to California. He has good job prospects. However, she has to give up a nice career opportunity in Chicago. Despite the fact that she has only known him two months, Julia agrees to the move. But, will it be love everlasting or will there be complications? This would be a good movie to recommend to anyone who is on the verge of rushing into a relationship. Julia and Drew are genuinely in love, they believe, yet their love is definitely tested, by other relatives, by job choices, by attractive co-workers, etc. The two stars are beautiful people and this fact adds much to the film's enjoyment. Also, the film features the most darling DOG ever put on screen and a charming little apartment setting, complete with flamingo decor. No, the movie is not perfect. Yet, for those who love the tales of romance and are forever searching for a new one, this is a good addition. Because, yes, the film is perfect for a cozy evening in the dead of winter. Cook up the hot chocolate and wrap yourself in this story as well as a suitable afghan.
Ben Parker Boy meets girl, things are good, but then there is conflict! Holy mackerel this is unpredictable.I had waves of a sick-feeling while watching this moving at how corny and predictable the dialogue and situations are.I've never heard so many clichés about relationships.This is a very stale romantic comedy. The stars look tired and bored. Most tiresome were the attempts to show a little uniqueness by the narrator freezing the frame and winding back certain scenes and playing them again. Too corny.Don't see this.
adriel_michaud Generally I've got a pretty high tolerance for crappy movies. I've sat through Gigli, Battlefield Earth, etc. But this movie was unremorseless in it's lack of thought. The main characters are completely pathetic and the stuff that they have to say to drive this plot (into the ground) is completely non-sensual. Not only that, but they obviously show in the movie that the two main characters hate each other, only to narrate something different in the end to make a cushy ending.I'm pretty sure that the guy who gave this movie 10/10 didn't even watch the same movie. There is nothing redeeming about this movie. No "funny" romantic comedy parts, no insight into relationships, the supporting roles are bland. . .Do not take movie recommendations from anyone who recommends this movie.
Christopher Nash Recently at the movies, there hasn't been a lot of GOOD romantic comedies without either being 1) cheesy and predictable, or 2) sappy and not funny. A Piece of my Heart (aka My Last First Date) not only has some great scenes about the 'truth of dating', it also provides some comical fillers and connections between the lives of all the characters. Based from the play 'Heart', this script had many truthful analogies about what each sex is thinking. It covers both sides of a relationship (Martin Henderson and Piper Perabo) and then gains more insight from the friends watching the relationship. This movie is brutally honest and I believe that EVERYONE who goes to see this movie will say (at least once), 'That's happened to me before'. Finally, it's a good romantic comedy since last year.
