Mixed Baggage

I have to say the leads are very good, the supporting actors were very good. Shout out to the production guy and hairdresser.

It took forever for the story to develope plus's you never got to enjoy the leads who had chemistry acting together. Who ever wrote this romcom is a terrible writer. It had no rythem no pace and not enough interaction with the characters. Anyone watching knew where the plot was going but it took forever to move along. Plus why if the leads have chemistry did the director not have them act together. I was very disappointed and was hoping the movies would get better. Unfortunately same old story, everyone keeps making the wrong assumptions.

It's a tv movie so I wasn't expecting much besides to kill time since I couldn't go back to sleep or better yet for it to be boring enough to make me sleepy. Instead this turned out to be an entertaining and cute romantic comedy. All the actors (even those with only a few lines) were excellent. I was rooting for all three couples and though you know exactly what ending to expect from this sort of movie watching them get there was fun. The sets, wardrobes, hairstyling and makeup were also top notch and an effort was made to give every place and everyone a unique look and style which also made it stand out from the usual standards. Well worth staying awake for :D.

7.8 stars.

'Mixed Baggage' is the perfect title for a story of three mixed relationships. Not mixed by race, but it's about a group of people at several different stages of dating. The originality of the script continued to surprise me throughouth.

Who are the leads? There aren't any per se, although probably the two on the movie cover, but you'll see that they share about half the screen time, while each of the other couples shares a quarter each. And they are all involved in some way with each other, whether old friends, new friends, co-workers; they are intermingled and their interactions are entertaining.

This film is not your usual couple meets, couple has ups and downs, kiss - the end. No, this is about a guy and a gal that meet on an airplane and subsequently experience many coincidences that indicate they are fated to be together, but their own misunderstandings and lack of boldness get in the way time and again. The next couple, they've been together for 6 years, dealing with major hurdles, and the last couple are morphing from a professional relationship into a more romantic one and exploring options.

The dialogue is particularly refreshing and the characters bring the story to life. Everyone is unique and interesting, and there is a lot of good humor to experience; so don't miss 'Mixed Baggage'.

It was difficult to understand the dialogue because of the poor sound quality. Additionally, there were no closed captions on Amazon Prime making it impossible to understand the movie. I am sure that it would have been very fun to watch but without being able to understand what was going on we ended up not watching the whole thing because it was just too frustrating to continue to the end. I am hoping that this review prompts someone at the production company to remix the sound and at least add closed captioning for the hearing impaired so that we can enjoy what others found to be a delightful movie.

This movie had everything! Great story, awesome acting, wonderful chemistry and believable characters. All three couple's, were a good match and I was rooting for all three. It was an added bonus that the actors seemed to like each other. This one made my heart soar and I cried happy tears. I highly recommend this movie for anyone looking for a sweet, intelligent and well made movie. Kudos all around. I am purchasing this movie when it is released on DVD. :-) I hope a lot of people watch this movie because it deserves to be seen. In fact, a follow up movie would be welcomed so we could see where they are in the future.
