Ed Gonzalez Slant Magazine Plays out like an antidote to films like Napoleon Dynamite that seem to exist for no other reason than to make audiences feel superior to lower-class buffoons.

Steve D Should have been something I really enjoyed but the script wasn't good enough. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Kinda cheesy but fairly alrightee. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member If you thought that your family was insane, you might want to watch this movie, you might actually start to think ours is normal. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Sometimes cheesy just works. This is a pretty light movie but sometimes you can get a lot of emotion out of those movies. I've seen it countless times. So while movies like this are a bit on the cheesy side, it's virtually impossible to not like them. I love movies about writers and books and this is one of those...kind of. You have attractive girl and her attractive guy friend. They're just friends. He ghost writes romance books. Yadda yadda, they get along so well together but we've seen it a million times in movies and in life...they just can't be together. Won't get into spoilers, but it's a nice plot twist of sorts what happens. Eh, I've probably seen something like that done better, but it's done in a way that brings out a little emotion and really makes you pull for the characters. In the end, it's just a nice flick about love in its many different forms. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Not the worst movie ever made, but almost. Really forced with skewed timelines and very unrealistic. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Typical rom/com with a ok story. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Read all reviews
