      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      The title character is too self-absorbed to be all that engaging, and the movie's depiction of gender issues seems retrograde.

      Audience Member 2016-03-04 entertaining enough, she's a bit of a jerk though for a while and he turns out to be decent, bit of role reversal. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Frances H Cute and clever romcom exploring relationships between men and women. Julie Davis shines. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/27/14 Full Review Audience Member Though it got weak reviews and did poorly in whatever limited engagements it was shown in, I liked Amy's O and it held my attention better than most other RomComs. The chemistry between Davis and Chunlund was far better and more realistic than Bullock/Reynolds in THE PROPOSAL. Very witty dialogue. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie was hilarious in an inappropriate kind of way. It wasn't super raunchy, but it was definitely more graphic than your average romantic comedy. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member I once remember a friend of a family friend was once criticized for talking only about things he himself knew, which somehow made this guy "self involved." But really, aren't the only things we talk about things that we know, think we know, or identify with? If you can accept this, it's very easy to get past the very narrow narrative spun by director Julie Davis, who paints an unflatteringly narcissistic neo-feminist (who she also plays in the film) as redeeming only in that she realizes that her philosophy about love is pure crap -- while other characters really eat it up. While, yes, the film can at times be predictable it earns extra points for showing the protagonist as a fatally flawed character (which no doubt involved a lot of self discipline on the part of director/writer/star Davis) as well as for its portrayal of the new feminism as sensationalist, media-powered drivel (Who would have ever guessed that Julie Davis had such [testicles]?). Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member The ending wasn't great. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
