Surprise Me!

Good watch, would watch again, and can recommend.

This is a good, if somewhat standard, "boy next door" trope mixed with a "control freak" and " eating disorder" cliches.

Fiona Gubelmann pretty much carries the movie, but she's good enough to watch it just for her. Sadly, I think this plays a factor as a lot of the movie is just her not accepting the availability of the guy she loves.

Sure, it's a chick flick, but the way the break down and dissect the scenarios through the scenes is pretty good.

It was an uplifting watch that I could really use at the time.

It took awhile to get going, but once it did my wife & I enjoyed it. There were some serious personal issues the main character had to deal with and there was some truth in how it was handled. It had a good mix of ups, downs and laughs as well. I felt that the film turned the corner with the introduction of the therapist character. She played a great part, bringing both levity and some serious introspection advice. As the main character starts out somewhat ok, then does a serious crash and burn, but at the end finds her true self and heals old and new wounds, and emerges as her own woman, strong enough to rise above the hardships that have held her back since her childhood. Throw in a nice slow percolating romance and a happy ending for good measure. I recommend it for you romcom fans, but you've got to hang in there for a bit until it gets up some steam. I think the cast, writers and production staff deserve to be proud of a nice indy film. Thanks for a good date night.

For a chick flick it could have been much better with some minor changes, but the last scenes ruin the movie. For one, you can easily guess the outcome 30 minutes in. With some minor rewriting, they could've made this pretty cute.

This film has to be the worst film I have ever ever seen. It goes of into so many story lines and characters.

Yes, there are cheesy parts but I did find myself laughing quite a few times. There are serious parts, too. I liked how this movie portrayed friendship and family. There were quite a few good messages throughout the movie about relationships, self observation, and grief. I think it's a great movie for women and young women to watch. Or even couples. I like to watch lesser known or low budget movies and review them because for the ones that are good and worth watching, I want the writers to know they did a good job and to keep going. It wasn't perfect, but I was entertained the whole way. And I left feeling a more introspective. So, great job :)
