1/I like the opening of the film, but overall, the plot isn't intersting, and the design of the ups and downs isn't good.
2/Scarce interesting lines, which makes the film seem boring. And because of this, the use of special effects which are supposed to lighten the mood make the film look cheesy
3/actors, actresses aren't doing a very good job, I can't really relate to them.
She is never alone, but this is her town now I guess. Good enough barely.There are some touching moments tucked away in this bit of fluff, and you will find them worth your time getting to. Very by the book chick flick stuff, but the important thing is it's Lacey Chabert in a not made for cable, Hallmark family thing, or some voice over gig, or the dumb girl in the back. She is finally in the lead roll, just too bad that it had to be in this movie most of you would never watch Thirst so it doesn't count(but it was awsomer than this one). To wrap up it could be a good movie, the characters are real enough, and you do get into the story which is why you are watching so I say Enjoy it.
I do not know how I came to watch this film. I guess my friend who recommended it to me does not understand that these types of films are not for me. Since I do not have anything better to do today, I will write a review for this movie although I do not know was it a good idea. Plot. It is a typical teen to early twenties movie. Hollywood with its glorious roads, streets, shops, studios and sprawling neighbourhoods is a great setting for a film like this. I love California and the fact it gave us Hollywood. Plot is really, well you can find a lot of similar plots on a web page;) Dialouge was not that empty, there were some good dialogues here. It was not THAT bad. Acting was OK for this kind of film. I survived worse. All in all if you are a teen dreaming about Hollywood and its glory this is a film for you. Otherwise, loose no sleep over it if you do not get to see it.
This movie was basically a product, it told a story that we already know we are "okay" with. Insecure female protagonist, been let down in the past, so she's afraid of a real relationship. This premise is hammered into us over, and over, and over again. We see the perfect guy for her in the first ten minutes of the movie! Dale reflects on how she feels like a victim, again and again. Do you need us to spell it out for you?
The editing of this movie both impressed and annoyed me. It's flashy and fast, often treating the audience as if we have the shortest possible attention span. The movie feels like its own trailer sometimes.
I have to admit that the acting was pretty good. Nothing great, no really deep personalities or stirring emotional moments, but I commend the good casting, and I think everyone gave it their all. They looked like they were actually enjoying themselves, too.
But the story had nothing to say, and we just ended up seeing a bunch of really attractive people flirt and fight and commiserate and make kissy-face. No conflict ever got resolved, we never saw anything play out to its logical conclusion. A few times I felt as if a character was just doing something really stupid, and I knew this person could have done better. But I think self-awareness is taboo in movies like these.

It's amazing what a Thanksgiving food coma will do to a girl. Case in point: I watched this entire film. The entire bloody thing. Those are 90 minutes I will never, ever, be able to get back!
Oh. Holy. Hell. What did I do????
To say the writing is insipid is being generous. The dialogue is downright lame, and when it's delivered by actors who seem completely unenthusiastic about appearing on camera, the entire thing is just painful. The tragedy here is that I have seen all of these people, every one of them, in roles that showed they are actually capable of acting. It's like they read the screenplay, realized that no one was ever going to see this piece of tripe after all, and then decided to dial it in. From Norway.
I'd suggest you skip it, but if you're determined, make sure you've stocked up on a bottle or three of wine first. It's the only way you'll survive.
