Generic romcom fails to surprise; some language, sex.

Movie Nation

Supporting player Nicole Sullivan sparkles in this rom-com. The leads? Not in the least.

Rated: 1.5/4

About Boulder

Surprise Me!, the new film from writer/director Nancy Goodman, feels like more of the same, but it's got a unique subplot that deserves your attention.

Phoenix Film Festival

You might not scream at the big screen, but don't be surprised if your inside voice wishes for a much better rom-com.

Rated: 1/4

Film Threat

Surprise Me! beats a little life into its contribution to the very crowded market of Rom-Coms. The film is good and will appeal to fans of the genre, but doesn't do enough to transcend it...

Rated: 7/10

Contrary to Gertrude Stein, there is some there here, but it's inscrutable.

Good watch, would watch again, and can recommend. This is a good, if somewhat standard, "boy next door" trope mixed with a "control freak" and " eating disorder" cliches. Fiona Gubelmann pretty much carries the movie, but she's good enough to watch it just for her. Sadly, I think this plays a factor as a lot of the movie is just her not accepting the availability of the guy she loves. Sure, it's a chick flick, but the way the break down and dissect the scenarios through the scenes is pretty good. It was an uplifting watch that I could really use at the time.

Horrible movie, horrible message, trigger warning for emotionally abused or manipulated people. 0.5 stars for the acting which was great. The film was cringe worthy. Not a comedy at all. BUT a drama.

Great heart at the center of the film. Editing and overall script needed a little work but it's good for what it is!
