snowybird This movie is about as average as you can get. The story itself isn't really important, pretty average for a light crime flick, but it's not really in focus. It's mostly about the characters, and I'll grant the movie this, they are for the most part decently played and engaging enough.The main character who carries us through the flick has her charms, and I did quite like the voiceover, that tries to be hard boiled but is clearly inexperienced about it. The main guy, Morelli, played by Jason O'Mara, is nowhere near as charming as the movie seems to think, and some of his attempts at flirting wih our lead are not much more than uncomfortable. I won't go into it too much, but there was a bit of a troubling undercurrent of the movie of the minority characters either being jokes or bastards, in a way that came off uncomfortably to me. Nothing about this movie seemed malignant (hell too much flavor either way might disturb it's made-for-tv-ness), but it's not impressing on many nuance fronts.All in all, acceptable watch if you really have emptied out Netflix and the popcorn's already made, but otherwise not enough style or substance to be particularly memorable.
Maria Trim I don't know i must be easily pleased or its my age 66, but the reviews are a bit off for this film, I must watch a different movie. I really enjoyed it, paid £2.49 through Amazon to watch it, and spent a great couple of hours just chilling out, and having fun watching it. Its a crime romp with Katherine Heigl and the yummy Jason O'Mara so there is eye candy for both male and female. The plot is explained so i wont go there, just all I can say is if you want something to watch, and you like comedy, romance and a bit of crime romp then you cant go wrong with this. Its fun I am not sure I would have paid to see in cinema but to watch it for the price I did, lets face it, what can you get really for 2.49 nowadays so its worth the money. Go on you know you want too.
jennyus They need to do other movies based on the books. I've read the whole series, the reviews don't get it right. This movie was a disappointment because in the books Stephanie is naturally good looking and normal sized, The cast was all wrong. When you read the books Stephanie is normal sized but naturally attractive, so yes they cast too small of a woman. However, they also missed the boat with the men. The actors they used weren't good looking and natural enough. The books and the story lines are better than the typical LMN movie, they just need to cast them right. Apparently whoever picked the actors and actress didn't read the novels, or can't comprehend well enough to picture characters when they do read them.
Anjaneai Srivastava Yes, it is not 5.2 at all. (What it gets as of 22/Dec/13)The story basically revolves around a 'Bounty-Hunter' trying to get in an FDA to help herself get some money in her account after she lost her job of being a lingerie sale person at Macy's (One store I love a lot)!!I got to say I admire Katherine Heigl for this role and her body ;) ..I personally Loved the character of Sherri Shepherd (Lula)and Debbie Reynolds(her Grand Ma).She has done a decent job to what is actually good story. Yes, this might not be one of those epic, unforgettable movie, but yes, would be worth of your time.
