Something's Brewing

I feel silly having to even bring this up. But in the interest of science and the embarrassment of the reviewer who said it was a zit, here I go. In case you haven't seen this movie, don't be dissuaded by the giant zit review. It's NOT a zit, it's a mole, nothing more. I didn't even notice it until I read that review.

Back to the movie. It's a cute movie. Totally a romantic romp that is set in the big city. It's fun, romantic, and just what you would expect from Up TV. The acting is spot on and the characters are as believable as can be. Enjoy it for what it is.

I really enjoyed it. Kristi Murdoch is pretty and talented. Jason Cook is very believable as her love interest, also very talented.

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.

The first half of the movie felt super thin in terms of plot. Basically the first 40 minutes (and really most of the film overall) felt like a really long and boring series of first dates between two people.

After the initial plot points of her losing her job and boyfriend...nothing much happened for way too long. We spent way too much time with the leads getting to know one another.

In addition to a thin plot...the film also lacked any real humor and those other X factors which make these movies fun. It was really just boring.

The acting was decent but not great. But really...my biggest criticism is that this film was not entertaining.

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.

5.4 stars.

Some B movies, I enjoy, this one doesn't cut it. I recognize the lead male, I remember watching him for several years on 'Days of Our Lives'. He can't hide behind the beard, he's too noticeable, but he's definitely aged well. What's wrong with this movie? That question is more difficult to answer than what's right with it. Cinematography and editing is decent. The dialogue, acting, sound, and music are horrific. Even the wardrobe was poor. The clothes were unflattering for her. The voices sound muffled, and have a slight echo, which completely ruins the experience for me. Yes, I noticed the "zit" that people are mentioning, however, I can't imagine that this person would have a zit lasting several days during filming. It's probably a permanent blemish that she was unable to have removed at that time. Anyways, I stopped the movie less than halfway in, and deleted from the DVR. Onto the next.
