Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
jmdforsmg I really loved this movie so it really surprised me to see so many people who had a problem with it. It is just the cutest chick flick with great humor. I think the acting was done so well and the sets did well for the movie. Sarah Michelle Gellar did great in the movie as the struggling chief and Sean Patrick Flannery who plays the guy who just cant figure out whats going on.I hate that this movie is so underrated and I still don't understand why, its my favorite romantic comedy.The Chick flick element is great so all girls and some men should love the great acting and the range of emotions that all the characters go through as the emotions are the key and main element of the movie.9/10
rdarmand1 Cipher-J's shallow screed entitled "Wholly Incompatible!" strives for eloquence but manages only petulance. It is, I suppose, to be expected in this day and age, when the ability to read is no longer necessary to graduate from high school, that a viewer could watch this film and somehow miss the obvious: that, in the end, the boy could not resist the girl, despite his Darrenesque reservations. (That's an allusion to "Bewitched," Cipher-J.) Characterizing someone or something as irresistible implies struggle; it implies that someone tried to resist, and couldn't. Shazam! That's exactly what we see! Is that ironic, or what? Cipher-J, thy nick is well-chosen.I liked this movie. I liked the characters. I thought it was sweet. It made me feel good. Sarah Michelle Gellar is hot. No, it didn't heighten my political consciousness. It didn't make me want to write a 2,000-word essay on Sartre and his influence on modern cinema. It merely made me happy. Isn't that what it's supposed to do?
Daughter_of_the_Valar i adore this movie. it's got everything that makes me feel like it was a good choice.sure it's cheesy and silly, but that's the reason you watch. it's a cute little movie that's great to rent for the weekend (like i did) the cooking even inspired me to do some of my own. i might have nearly burnt the house down and reminded myself of why i never cook but i was in such a happy mood that it didn't matter.if you love sweet little romantic comedies then Simply Irresistible is definitely a movie you need to see. it might not be in the same class as some others but it's so lovely you can't help but like it.see it, if you don't like it then no big deal but if you do like it...you'll love it.
madkira I don't think anyone could claim that Simply Irresistible is an intellectual masterpiece. However, it is a charming little romance, with plenty of eye candy and a little bit of magic.The plot itself is pretty standard, and the film doesn't dwell much on explanation, which is probably just as well, since it would only suffer by making the audience think too much. It's better not to ask whether the crab is magical, or why Sarah Michelle Gellar cooks in strappy tank tops. Instead, the film asks you to just go along for the ride and watch its two leads (an adorable Gellar and a quirky Sean Patrick Flanery) find each other and fall in love in a fantasy New York.While this film doesn't have much in the way of substance, its cotton candy fluff will appeal to the closet romantic in its audience.
