Generic romcom fails to surprise; some language, sex.

Rated: 2/5

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.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

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!
