i'm being generous giving this movie 2 stars. the line about "have you even seen the wizard of oz" was the best part for me! with terrible writing and acting like displayed in this movie it's no wonder so many are taken in by worthless tv reality shows. do yourself a favor and get out of the house and hit a royals baseball game, your gonna be glad ya did!

The plot of Two Ninas is a familiar one, revolving around Marty, a perennial failure with women who wishes he could be more like his player friend, Dave. Marty gets his chance when circumstances contrive to introduce him to two women, who both happen to be named Nina. Marty begins dating them both, and the film traces the progress of the two relationships. All of this is fairly conventional, but the film is very well written, and well executed. The dialogue is generally believable, and there are many genuine laughs. Of course, as is obligatory in such films, it takes Marty far longer than it does the audience -- or any reasonable person -- to realize which Nina is right for him, and, inevitably, his realization comes too late to avoid disaster. The movie falters, moreover, at the ending, which anybody who has ever seen a movie will see coming from a mile away. Nevertheless, getting there is considerably more than half the fun, and the trip is worth taking. All romantic comedy fans should enjoy it.

The 2 Ninas' stands alone as the male equivalent of the chick flick. This super funny, very realistic yet sensitive comedramedy has tremendous performances and great one-liners you'll be repeating long after you've seen it. The problem with the 2 Nina's is you'll want to see it again and again and unfortunately it hasn't come to a theatre near you or me. Not only the best thing I saw at SxSwest but way better than anything I saw at Sundance or Slamdance. It's a must see even if you have to seek this movie out!

A way-better-than average romantic comedy that rises well above the "Three's Company" stupidity syndrome that plagues many films of the genre. The acting is tight, the characters are sympathetic and believable, and the story holds together well. The film takes a humorous look at what it means to be young and single in NYC. The relationship issues addressed are universal and timeless. We can all identify on some level. It's clear that the director has a real feel for and love of NYC, lensing many interesting and enjoyable aspects of city life. This film is far more worthy of theatrical release than many films I've seen in the last 2-3 years.
