Renovation of the Heart/It's a Fixer Upper

It's kind of an updated version of The Money Pit premise. Novertheless a fun movie.

At first, like most other reviewers, I was annoyed by Dan because he's a self-centered bonehead, and Anne is a whiny, spoiled woman-child! They eventually grow on you, and then you can see them transform and rekindle their relationship, which is much appreciated! (Frankly, less than 1/2 way through the move, I wanted to punch Anne...The Wine Cellar scene, especially!!!!)

This storyline perfectly blended the issues of money problems and doing a remodel as a couple who don't really know what they're doing; the annoyance and frustration involved, which thankfully turned into better understanding and teamwork. We've all been there, man! LOL

Give this one a shot. It'll be worth it.

It felt incomplete, with gaping holes in the storyline and an unsatisfying resolution that should have happened way earlier in the story. Pacing was treacherous slow. Too bad.

This movie was way too slow and hard to get into. Also, the conversations were so low, it sounded like the were mumbling all of the time. We had the sound turned up so high just to try and hear what they were saying that when the music came on it almost deafened us. It was too hard to watch to be enjoyable

Terrible acting, terrible writing. At the very least I was expecting a house that actually needed renovating, not a pristine mansion. Such a waste of time, even though I didn't get past the first half.

The acting is so poor by the woman that I am embarrassed to admit I am a woman. The immaturity in incomprehensible. The guy is bad but mostly from the poor chemistry. The insanity that spews from her mouth as she butchers the script, it she drunk all the time? Also the script itself is ludicrous. You can google the price of the wine before she breaks the bottles. Just shows how stupid they both are. How were they rich previously? Mommy and Daddy. Enough.
