Something's Brewing

This is a strong rom vom which could have been boring and typical, but for Jason Cook's performance of charm and comedy. He manages to make his character real. Unfortunately, Kristin Murdock's performane was perfectly good, there were moments where her believability was more Like you could see her acting. (Sorry Kristin! It is a problem in a lot of stage and screen and the director should have fixed it, because I think you could have pulled it off.) The movie followed the rom com tropes (thsnk God there wasn't a clothing changing montouge -- those are WAY over done.

The script's biggest issue was the leads weird following him and digging into where he lived, but complaining to him when he didn't talk to her about her ex. What a double starndard since her best friend (who did great job) told her to just ask.

I know without it would be no story, but seriously make the questioning more important than what was here. Also the daughter loved her way too easily.

Fun though and worth watching.

This one is a bit of a diamond in the rough. Good story line and a decent cast. Absolutely loved seeing Jason Cook here, remember him from Days of Our Lives - and, yes, he's aged well. Great smile. It's my first encounter with Kristi Murdock - lovely girl and she did a nice job. Her friend did a good job supporting and the daughter was cute and her role well done. Overall, a pleasant experience and, my most important barometer, I'd watch it again.

It did have shortfalls, of course, being low budget, etc. The sound quality was poor at times - the "background " music drowned out the voices several times. The styling was pretty bad for most of the movie, very uncomplimentary clothing for female lead - was there a sale on mustard colored tops? Most of the shoes looked like they were from a rummage sale.

The pacing was very slow. But. It's a made for tv romcom, so we give it some leeway, right? When I'm in a mellow mood and just want to be entertained, I'll enjoy seeing this again.

The story starts out like so many. A woman has a really bad day and loses her high paid job and her boyfriend is in bed with someone else when she goes to see him. So her world is shaken and she retreats. For most of the rest of the movie, the tension is that she is leaving the city permanently. Then she meets a guy by accident. And he is hiding something, maybe nothing big. For much of the movie, that's the story. The relationship is hook in the movie.

Later in the movie, there are a couple of bumps, the biggest one being something seen that is misunderstood. The bumps occur with a good bit of time left and one of them is kind of stupid on one person's part and the other is stupid on the other person's part. This dinged my enjoyment, even if you know everything's going to get worked out. In a very predictable way.

I thought the frequent meetings with the BFF for advice was a little overplayed.

Maybe some of the appeal for me was Kristi Murdock, whom I have only seen one other time. She has a beautiful smile.

If you are looking for a complex storyline, this isn't it. Anything but. But, if like me, you like developing love stories with good dialogue especially between the two leads, then maybe give it a chance.

There are so many exceptional movies to watch. Same genre, same theme, same outcome, .. but other than two attractive main characters that wasn't the best in acting in my opinion, the plot could've been better written. As soon as one day's life event was over, the rest was predictable. Just when one expects more developing plots, there ain't any but the usual twists. There really wasn't a plot-very flat line! So many exceptional movie out there, move on and don't waste your time. I only watched due to good rating but I disagree with the plain storyline had anything to sell on spending time watching this one.

Ok, I was just about to write about this. I thought was just like a permanent like pimple on her chin, but since most saying a bit, makes me want to Google her other movies to see if it's there. I googled, not a zit, thats a bump or sonething on face. Like other actors & actresses, just part of her that she probably has no plans on fixing.

I honestly stumbled on the reviews because when googled wardrobe, someone mentioned shoes. When went to that sorta interview, I did notice the slingback shoes the lady had on and was seeing if could find.

Oh yes, one of the first things I noticed when the movie first started and she was walking to her job and I was looking at the people and what they had on and then she came out the job like, who knows how much later, and the same people were walking by again. Yes, it's just one of those things I do when I'm watching a movie. I'm always looking at stuff where Isn't there somebody that has that job to point out or notice these things?
