Mr. Fix It

I like David Boreanaz. I put off watching this movie because the first review I read was negative. If you are looking for a g-rated light intensity movie. This is a good choice. It's got a little something for everyone. I'll even admit that I found myself grabbing for a tissue at a pivotal scene toward the end of the movie. It's not just a chick flick. My husband enjoyed the movie as well. David Boreanaz did a good job. Not once did I think, oh look, Angel or Booth dyed their hair blond. It helps that David Boreanaz is especially hot. Alana De La Garza is easy on the eyes also.

I don't like mushy love stories. It is a love story, but mushiness is kept at minimum.

Give it a chance, hopefully you'll enjoy it as much as we did.

Put simply, if you like David Boreanaz, you will enjoy this movie.

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.

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.

This movie surprised me, in a good way. I wasn't expecting much more than some light hearted humor, especially since the box cover and description are fairly innocuous. Instead, I got a heck of a fun ride. Boreanaz, although I'm not really a huge fan of his stuff, really shines. The movie puts him in many hilarious situations, making strong execution of the funny "bad boyfriend" concept that is the basis for the movie. The performances are impressive, especially La Garza who plays her role with a touch of innocence that makes you really root for her. The biggest surprise was the movies depth and the way it addresses aging, loneliness and regret. It made the film more than just a typical "date movie" and helped keep my interest. All in all a fun flick and recommended for those who like the romantic comedy genre.

This was presented today at the AMC theater as a surprise preview showing. The theater was full of Saturday viewers and remained that way throughout the picture. There were plenty of laughs and the storyline has an appealing plot. The guy who plays the lead, I think, used to play on "Angel" a TV series and he is very good. The girl is good too and must be new because I've never seen her in anything else.

I would recommend this for a good date movie. Some of the scenes really cracked me up and the story is worth your time. It has a clever ending. My girlfriend couldn't stop talking about the guy who plays the lead, David something. He was pretty good I thought.
