The Attraction Test

Sentimental and had me in some tears - first part amusing and reflective in exploring dates, a little predictable but still a nice film, where love has the ultimate kiss. Love is real and so if falling in love. Amusing story which came together in boy meets girl on ultimate roller coaster. Well-acted and good dates that were creative. While all of us may look for love, the presenter found it in her emotions with a predictive watch app. Story fitted together well and gripped audience. If you are searching for the magic of love, you can certainly go away with this dream. Do have a look inside and take the next st...

7.8 stars.

I know why people didn't like it - the lead male is a tool. He's a tool and not the most attractive lead male. He starts off really sarcastic and rude, and it's very unbecoming and so I was put off immediately. The lead female is adorable and it's fun to see her act as a love scientist. She tests her students and some friends with her health meters, wrist watches that they wear that take readings of heart rate and other various factors to see if they are in love. Each partner wears one while on several dates with the other partner and then she tabulates the information to see if they are a perfect match. She must then use her own system on herself, because that's what the people want.

I really enjoyed 'The Attraction Test' as time went on. The first several minutes were painful, but as I got to know the lead male a bit better, he's not so bad. Yes, he still has some attributes that rub you the wrong way, and like I said, I think the ladies in the audience didn't like him so much - thus the lack of votes and the negative votes. The dialogue is excellent, the actors are great, this is a smooth production from top to bottom, but maybe a different guy next time. But he's alright. I really like her though, so it's a thumbs up.

A part of film I was animated by convinction than Brooke is interpretated by Christina Ricci. Discovering the mistake, nothing was changed. Because the story is nice and kind provocative, because the dialogue is far to be bad, because the old cliches are used in decent way. And the provocative veterinarian, the test and its encounters, the evolution of relation are more than reasonable, suggesting, în some measure, more romanticism than dusty , regular românce.

The main actors are good options and the only problem remains the superficial perspective about academic. But it is not so rare mistake, so, some indulgence works. In short, pretty nice.

Honestly, we all know these types of movie are produced conveyor belt fashion. They aren't usually going to surprise with twists or deep insights, and we don't mind that. It's the execution that matters - is the writing good, are the characters well rounded, and so on.

As such, in reviewing such a film, it's probably not necessary to get into the plot, which, sure, is a bit contrived, but charming enough in its premise.

But what impressed me was the genuinely decent performances and chemistry between the leads. It felt believable, was endearing, and was solid enough to carry though the plot and get you invested in the characters. That alone makes it stand out and be worth the time compared to many others of this genre.

A wasted effort.

Technically is competent, but full of tropes and cliches, the leads (the characters, not the actors), unlikeable, with the male character rude, condescending, immature, idiotic, with the actual and emotional intelligence of a houseplant and the female character a caricature of the cold, technical, professional, unlovable career oriented woman.

It's pity, because the basic idea is good for a romantic film.

The script though, is either lacking, needed several rewrites, or incomplete.

There's nothing endearing or romantic in this.

Better than watching wet paint dry, but not by much.

The only redeeming quality is the performances.
