Baggage Claim

I have no idea whether or not Paula Patton actually read the script before signing up for the role, but this movie certainly does little to nothing but justify her talents. If you've watched her in Deja Vu, then this movie will strike you as the lowest she's ever sunken in her movie roles. The storyline is very weak to say the least. You can literally guess what will happen from one scene to the very last, including the credits. I felt sorry for actors like Trey Songz. If he is serious about acting, this may not have been a good movie to make his first impression in. The movie's attempt at humor was also poor. There was only one joke the audience laughed at in the whole movie. I am not surprised the movie was pulled out from the theaters in my neighborhood after only a few days. It is one that belongs to the DVDs.

I love a good romantic comedy but Baggage Claim in nowhere even near that type of movie. It seemed more like an corny SNL skit that lasts over an hour. I had the movie already figured out in the first 15 minutes and had to endure the rest of the flick. This plot is just one notch above that goofy Soul Plane from a few years back and a few below Tyler Perry's Madea Goes to Jail. A better script, more realistic characters and a more serious touch the movie might be average. Paula Patton is beautiful as always that you can't deny and Ty Diggs is an accomplished actor but they need to move on into some more serious roles. My advise is don't waste your time on this one. I still can't believe I didn't walk out.

"Baggage Claim" is one of those typical romantic comedies that's predictable you have the girl meets a guy in an unexpected way and falls in love. And true it has plenty of one liners and funny lines to entertain a viewer and it's filled with sugar and spice love scenes to enjoy. As it was a nice eye candy treat seeing the sexy Paula Patton in scenes of sexy lingerie like colored bras. Anyway the story is typical Paula is Montana a flight attendant who's still single and she feels tough when her younger sister is getting married so she starts a plan it's 30 days to find a husband or bust! And this involves trips on airline flights as she sets up meeting after meeting with her past boyfriends to try and reconnect for love in the air! As Montana is tired of being the oldest that's not married! It takes a surprise love twist at the end anyway it's to predictable still watch it for the sexy eye candy scenes of Paula Patton.

A story about baggage, the emotional type that people carry for not conforming to society's norms. The film deals with the concept of marriage, how we all are made for it and the attractive leading lady has somehow not tied the knot though keenly looking for her Mr Right and though she went far, she seemed to miss what is good and near. Whilst in the quest, she discovers her no-no's in men and how once someone is an ex, it is best he stays an ex.

Ultimately, the question has to arise: do people marry because they want to and are committed to it or because they have to?

Whilst it offers a charming and pleasant experience it is not inventive as a story, succumbing to the rom-com principle of Mr & Mrs perfect live happily ever after. Not a bad experience for viewers who go in couples.

I stumbled upon this movie one rainy evening on TV. There was not much to do so I gave it a chance- had zero expectations. Yes, at some moments it is cheesy but somehow it keeps you intrested. Its cute. The acting is actually pretty good so I'd say if you don't expect too much give it a chance
