I don’t see the point of reviewing the whole movie, it was the standard romantic-comedy with the expected ending… I was not the demographic, I did not want to see it. But I’m married, which means I have to see some movies I don’t want to see. But I’m also married to a pretty cool chick, so I only have to see about one in every four rom-coms…
But she caught me laughing at one scene so I’ll admit that if the movie were thirty seconds long and consisted of only this one scene, I would have liked it.
Main character is a New York business woman with no time for friends/family. She is trapped on a resort island where everything is relaxed and family based. (Could be one of a hundred movies so far…) She wants to check in on work so she sneaks away to the only computer with an internet connection on the island. But when she pulls up the computer it makes the dial-up modem handshake noise, and she just looks at it like a dog doing an algebra problem. Get it? Cause she’s used to high-speed and can’t believe how slow the connection is?
That’s it. Probably the funniest thing in the movie. It was cute enough but it made me think; do characters in movies ever go to the movies? Why hadn’t either of these two main protagonists ever been to a movie? Don’t they know that whenever someone has to pretend to be married or hire a boyfriend, it NEVER works out? until the very end when the two people ‘pretending’ actually DO fall in love…
Why aren’t the characters in movies as cynical about movies as we are? I am?
