Um Fim de Semana Prolongado

In fact it isn't really a comedy, more of a romantic movie with some humor sprinkled in. I like movies that use a unique approach and this one does. It isn't a great movie but it is entertaining enough.

My wife and I watched it at home on DVD from our public library. At the 27 minute mark she said spontaneously "This isn't a very good movie." Part of that was motivated by the filthy language the Wayans character used, and some of it in front of the small child. Poor script writing I suppose.

Then something dramatic happened about the 32 minute mark, something that changed the whole complexion of the man-woman relationship. Now we understood why she seems so vague and so unusual and why she carried thousands of dollars of cash in her purse.

Worth a look for anyone who an enjoy a movie that veers off into an unexpected direction.

You know those movies that you can't stop talking about to your friends and if they watch it, it's glorious, and those who haven't seen it can't relate and are sick of hearing about it?

Thats how much I enjoyed the art direction, twists, and how you are 'involved' in wondering 'how it's going to happen', or maybe it isn't 😉, and the scales of wonder you slide through.

It's a feel good, relatable love story that appeals to our sense of wonder and it hits all the bases.

A really cute, light, romantic and humorous, but a feel good movie that is more than *just a typical romcom*. This romcom makes you fall in love with each character for who they are, along with their flaws, and that is good. However you're always sort of wondering if it's really good to believe in these characters. This is one about a true love, yes, and it takes you along in their perfect little adventure of romance, yes, but it leaves you with the feeling of "do I believe this or do I not?" You don't get confirmation until the end... and then the end again. Watch it and you'll see, especially if you like romantic comedies with a bit of a twist.

Acting was superb..... definitely a different kind of romance. Worth a watch !

What if you took a plot device, and flipped it? Usually, the audience is in on the "secret", but in this movie, you only see the odd behavior - the back-story isn't known. Are the characters crazy? Hiding something? Or is the truth just hard to believe?

The writers throw in a "feel-good" ending, but at least they bothered to write one.

Hard-to-define movie - is it a rom-com? Sci-fi? A dream sequence? It's some of all of those, and none of any of them. Worth watching if you like off-beat stories with likeable, well-written characters.
