talltale-1 Awful in a whole new way, ANYTHING BUT LOVE probably should be seen by movie buffs--if only as a cautionary measure that proves all that can go wrong with a "vanity" production. I am guessing a vanity production, since there is no other reason on god's green earth to cast as talent-free and not particularly attractive non-singer/actress as Isabel Gold in the leading lady role--vied for yet by the likes of "lookers" like Cameron Bancroft and Andrew McCarthy--except that she also helped write this bizarre little movie. Her singing leaves much to be desired, and yet, unbelievable as it is, all the other characters in the film think she's terrific. There are a few moments here of actual charm or humor, but VERY few. Otherwise this is a silly, sad fiasco that veers from paint-by-numbers to paint-by-wrong-numbers. You know how it is when people look at a piece of modern art and someone says, "My kid could do better than that!" Well, this is a movie, the likes of which your--or anyone's--kid might do better.

futuredjchic2000 I am such a fan of musicals and romance movies with a happy ending. This movie appeals directly to the hopeless romantic in me. I won't give away much of the movie, but what I will tell you is that our heroine is beautiful and talented and not in the way that Hollywood demands. She's got a wonderful figure without being anorexic thin. And the men are not soap opera hunks (thank god!). This movie is not just a love story, but also encourages you to follow your dreams. It's a heartwarming story told in a very timeless way. The dream sequences are fun, and the songs classic. If you are looking for a movie for a girl's night, or something to cuddle up to your honey with on a rainy day this is most definitely your movie.

smfisher If you are a fan of MGM and RKO musicals of the 30s and 40s, you will get the references in this film and enjoy them!!! If not, but like movies that let you escape, you will love this film. It's sweet, clever, poignant, and funny the way a good Cole Porter or Irving Berlin tune is. I saw this movie last night and had a wonderful time. Go see it!!!!! :)

Naneaux I love musicals and cabaret theater and had high hopes for this film after reading the positive blurbs in the Times ad. It was a real let-down... our heroine deserves to remain a headliner at the JFK Skytel Lounge in Queens because she lacks the talent and charisma to do anything else. Absolutely nothing about this turkey is interesting - not the script, not the lackluster musical performances and not Andrew McCarthy who cannot stop fussing with his cruddy baseball cap. Save your time and money and go rent "Singing in the Rain" instead.
