Blu-Ray – Comedy Movies

The script is bare bones & bland,has been used 20 times before. That doesn’t matter. Because the actors are pro’s and they flesh out what the screenplay lacks with their creativity and make it special.
The Movie is about a guy who died and how his lovers,friends and family deal with his passing.Jennifer Garner really steals scenes in this movie as the bride that was robbed of her wedding. He best scene is when she sits in the tub wearing her wedding dress and catches one of his friends making love to a waitress at her husbands to be’s funeral.
Director Kevin Smith & former child star Juliette Lewis both play a truly interesting characters, he works in advertising for Celestial Seasoning Tea Company and has the best zingers in the whole movie.He reminds me of the intellectual that works at the comic book store and imparts his sarcastic words of wisdom at everybody.
The characters reminded me a little of friends,only much more real and charming. Like this one guy,Jen’s character hates at the beginning of the movie. She makes you hate him too. But as she grows and changes, and he grows up a bit you start to like him better. That my friends is good acting and fabulous character developement.

Great Elements, Ruined by Lousy Cliché – John Sheffield – Lexington, SC
This movie could have been so much better. I have no problem with the actors(I have a thing for Jennifer Garner, and I really like Kevin Smith, so I can’t give an impartial evaluation of the actors.) or their characters. The photography was gorgeous.

UNFORTUNATELY I GOT MY HOPES UP.

Unfortunately, right after a good enough setup, the writer plops in an element that are so tired and hackneyed and obvious I immediately said to myself “oh no, they’re not going to do THAT…” If you have seen more than a handful of films that do not star explosions or CGI, you not only see the ending coming, IT CAN BEE SEEN FROM SPACE. It completely stinks and ruined the film for me. The fact it happens in a bathroom is especially fitting.

I would like to think it is the kind of thing that would immediately lower your grade in a scriptwriting class.

What makes it all the worse is that there are couple of times during the film (predictably, right when I was about to turn it off) where it misleads you into thinking they are going to go somewhere more creative.

But no, they go there.

Fall in love with the characters, Fall in love with the storyline, Fall in love again. – Marie – MN, USA
A woman’s plans change abruptly when her fiance dies, and she starts to find things out about the guy, and starts to wonder if she even knew him at all.
She starts to dig further into the loops and tangles of his death with things she doesn’t fully understand, and she begins an awkward but sweet friendship and love with her fiance’s best friend she never liked, as he helps sort out the mess left behind.

So watchable – Danielle Masursky – Philadelphia, PA USA
Not sure why this romantic dramedy stayed so far under the radar. The casting is perfect, the story is heartwarming and the couple are romantic as hell. I’ve sat through this repeatedly and enjoy it every time. Bonus – one of the sexiest sex scenes of all time (up there with Michelle Pfeiffer and Mel Gibson in Tequila Sunrise).
