A Nice Girl Like You

I find Lucy Hale oddly charismatic and watchable. I'd only seen her in horror movies before now - some a lot better than others - and even though the movie wasn't always the best, she was strong in spite of it. I decided to give her a go in a romantic-comedy (yes, that's how grim the film releases are currently that I'm having to resort to these genres) and it was much the same thing. The movie wasn't much to look at, but she shone through nonetheless.

I decided to give this one a go because of the R rating. I thought it might be willing to push some boundaries and take some risks. Sadly, it was very tame. It played it very safely and that was my biggest disappointment out of this one. No film that has multiple scenes set in Las Vegas should ever be as mundane as this.

The characters were the other big let down for me. Outside of Hale's character, there really isn't anyone offering much. Her three immediate friends have some half-decent moments, but they are very few and far between. Her love interest played by Leonidas Gulaptis was as generic as they come.

There's a fun concept here and handled with a little more effort and daring this could have been something. Sadly though, this one will be gone from my mind in a week.

A shining example of how to take all the right ingredients for a simple, fun rom-com and still manage to make a soul-less movie out of them. I wasn't expecting an Oscar-worthy production and I usually like the romantic comedy genre in spite of (and maybe because of) it's schmaltzy predictability.

There is however, one ingredient that must be present even if all of the others are lacking: Chemistry. For any rom-com to work, there has to be believable chemistry between the leads. Sadly, there is none to be found here. Also, frustratingly, there are many wasted opportunities to make scenes funnier, but they either weren't taken, or were half-hearted.

In the end, the movie turned out ironically to be like Lucy's character: Full of potential but somehow unable to realise it.

I downloaded this comedy movie thinking it would be funny. It's dumb unfunny girl meets facts of life. The writing Is so over the top unfunny and extremely uncomfortable to watch. The outrageous sex jokes didn't work... Not one of them. Did anybody watch the dailies and realize nothing is working. Zero chemistry, Zero Sexy, Zero Funny, I cringe during most of this movie. How can you make a bomb like this? Not one funny scene.

The director and writer should be embarrassed to have their name on this Picture. I've never given a 1 on IMDb before. But this movie took an hour and half of my life that I will never get back.

This is going to be my first ever review. I just had to share my thoughts on this film. When I saw a trailer I thought it would be a fun film to watch. I am not a very picky person when it comes to comedies. I couldn't be more wrong about this film. It wasn't funny at all. I felt like an entire film was so much like Hallmark films with PG friendly characters but then there is sex subject that doesn't get any spicy scenes. It wasn't either proper predictable romantic Hallmark film you would watch on Christmas about two people falling in love nor a sexy comedy with dirty jokes and funny scenes. I am a fan of Lucy Hale and that is why I watched it. Unfortunately for me the whole story was a cringe fest. If you consider watching this film, think Hallmark film with super PG friendly love story which meets somewhat not spicy sex comedy where is no sex scenes or anything funny. I can't even pick one thing I liked about this film. Really disappointing.

A sad attempt at a sexy funny story that is neither sexy nor funny.
