Generic romcom fails to surprise; some language, sex. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review

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

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... Go to Full Review

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

04/13/2022 The funniest Nicole Sullivan movie ever, LOL!!!!!!!!!!!! See more 03/10/2021 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. See more 12/20/2020 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. See more 06/16/2020 Great heart at the center of the film. Editing and overall script needed a little work but it's good for what it is! See more 11/01/2019 I thought it was not interesting & written poorly . See more 10/05/2019 Outstanding, funny, emotional, spiritual, well written and produced! I laughed, I cried, it was real, loved the flow of storyline! Current topic, a must see for any parent raising children! See more Read all reviews
