WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Seraherrera The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

vchimpanzee In New York City, John is getting old but won't admit it, and he is determined to play handball against Paco. But that one last game is too much for him and he falls over dead.John's family not only has to deal with the loss, but also the realization that his business was in trouble and the family is broke. Everyone will have to take a job to keep the family from losing the house. Son Henry wants to be the breadwinner so his mother Grace will not have to work, but he is in nursing school. Education will have to wait.Henry's Uncle Colin works as a doorman at 1500 5th Avenue, so he gets Henry a job as a doorman. George, the supervisor, is very demanding and expects Henry to do everything right. This means no relationships with the tenants, but treat them nice. Still, after Henry starts work, Henry and Scarlett notice each other right away.Henry works alongside Raul, who does as little as he can get away with, and he seems to date a lot of women. Ultimately he shows he cares.There are a couple of funny scenes involving an unsupervised kid with money and a pair of hookers. Henry should have been more careful.Henry develops a relationship with Scarlett as he makes deliveries to the penthouse apartment. Even though she has a boyfriend, Buck is a rich drunk. At Scarlett's birthday party, Henry even gets called on to use his nursing skills to save a life. And it's not the only time his nursing skills get used: a gay couple has a dog who gets away from them and almost dies.When Scarlett's mother finds out about Henry, she is not happy. Her husband Phillip, though, is more accepting.So will this Romeo and Juliet romance work out? Sarah Roemer is so pretty and easy to like. She's just perfect for the role of Scarlett. And the character is very patient and accepting of others who are different.On the other hand, Mimi Rogers does what she does best: a conceited but not necessarily mean rich person who wants only the best for her daughter.Joseph Cross makes a very good lead. He's easy to like and very determined.Annette O'Toole does a very good job as Henry's mother. Those who know her as the all-American mother of Clark Kent may not be pleased at what she ends up doing, but she is still very much like what she was on "Smallville". Only with a New Yawk accent.Rachael Leigh Cook is tough and independent and won't take attitude from anyone. I didn't like her as Henry's sister but she is very good.Whether you like him or not, Joe Pantoliano does show talent here.Snoop Dogg is also quite good.It's a pleasant romantic comedy.

Katt Beams I am a lover of romantic comedies, even goofy ones or lifetime specials many can't bear to watch. I am easily entertained & find myself enjoying many movies in the genre with ratings as low as 4 1/2 to 5 stars. However, even I could not find this movie entertaining! It was appallingly slow & the cast couldn't seem to pull their 'act' together. The jokes fell flat and the couple had NO chemistry. They could have have finished it in 30 minutes & I wish they had. It had the 4 basic scenes, boy meets girl, boy & girl fall for each other, boy loses girl, and a happy ending. Everything in between seemed like several long, dull run on sentences. Don't waste your time. The only thing enjoyable is that it does end.

JP Fournier If a cast cannot pull off any jokes, maybe the comedy should be removed from the whole script. A young boy hiring hookers while he's parents are away should have a few laughs. Not here. Perhaps flamboyant gay stereo types having a couples spat will deliver some laughs... no, not since the 80s did that scene generate laughs. This script is so bad, I spent most of the film wondering why decent actors like Mimi Rogers, Joe Pantoliano and Snoop Dog would agree to filming this. What kind of audience was this written for? It strives to be so innocent and charming, but has no problem slipping in a cocaine scene, an f-bomb, and even a porn shop surprise. There is an important message in this film about not defining yourself by your ocupation or with simple labels, yet the film makes terrible jokes with flamboyant gays, prostitutes, and a bitter East Indian cab driver. One thing that this movie did teach me, is that working in a porn shop is fine, but being a hooker is the bottom. Got it.

mattkratz This wasn't too bad a movie. It basically features the "boy meets girl and falls in love with her/vice versa" and "Romeo and Juliet" themes. In the movie, a boy (who is a nursing student) has to drop out of school and go to work as a doorman to support his family when his father dies and leaves them nothing in terms of will money or life insurance. There are rules at the job, and one of them is not to become involved with the guests at the hotel where he works. Of course, he meets and falls in love with one of the (gorgeous) girls who stays there. Unfortunately, she comes from a snobbish, wealthy family, and they sabotage him, them, and his job. After this and along the way, he learns about humility and nothing and no one is too good-or too bad-for another person. This was a decent movie, and I'm glad I rented it.** 1/2 out of ****
