Harockerce What a beautiful movie!
Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
highwaytourist It seems like a good idea for fans of romantic comedies and/or Brandon Routh. Routh plays Scott Teller. Scott is a lonely, white-collar romantic in New York City who's been dumped after he drives away a girlfriend by proposing marriage too soon and his roommate moves to Germany, leaving him with a great apartment that he can't afford on his own. So, he looks for a new roommate and after interviewing the sort of absurdly unsuitable prospects who only exist in movies, he finds a young couple named Ryan and Mary (Jesse Bradford and Sophia Bush) who seem like the ideal choice. Things go well enough at first, until Scott meets a new woman who may be Mrs. Right in Leslie (Jennifer Morrison), a beautiful costume designer for a theatrical troupe. But Ryan and Mary keep getting in the way and making him look bad to Leslie in ways that are absurd and ridiculous. And the film becomes shrill and embarrassing as Ryan and Mary become increasingly over-the-top in their undercutting of his decisions, and Scott reacts in ways that are increasingly paranoid. As a result, the audience will become more and more exasperated. The script is the main culprit. It uses a framing device (flashback revealed in a bar) which contributes nothing and is abandoned before the film ends. Some of the jokes are funny, but most of them are embarrassing. The romance between Scott and Leslie seems more a convenient plot device than a real romance. The road trip at the end seems tacked on, though it might have been believable earlier in the movie. The cast is better than the screenplay, but left to founder. The affable, all-American Brandon Routh is well-cast as a nice-guy type, but he's consistently upstaged by the supporting cast, even when his character starts behaving in an irritating way. Jennifer Morrison is pretty, but her role is very underwritten and she has little to do. Thus the main focus is Ryan and Mary, the couple who's so zany they'll give viewers a migraine. Jesse Bradford, who's given good performances in the past, is saddled with an unflattering haircut and acts as if he's channeling Robert Downey, Jr before he got sober. But the one cast member who is just as bad as the script is Sohpia Bush. Though Bush is beautiful and talented, you'd never know from this shrill performance. She tries to be screamingly funny and scorchingly sexy and goes so far over the top, she acts like her co-stars are competitors for attention. Indeed, it's more like a temper tantrum than acting. Perhaps Johnny Galecki comes off best in his minor role, and he gets some of the best lines. So in spite of some capable actors and a few good scenes, I give this a thumbs down.
Arrica Lee Some glitches here and there are unavoidable. For a teen like me, I would be sleeping halfway through the show has it not been Brandon Routh's beautiful face on the screen. Of course, compliments have to be given out to Brandon Routh for trying his hands on romance. He's not bad you know. He still has to work on his randomness though. I applaud him for trying out different genres. That will do him some good. Sophia Bush acts crazy here amid his serious character in One Tree Hill. I kinda' like it, you know how easily she can just put the character in line and make it seem so real. The ending is a little cloudy with no indication whether the couple is really crazy and they will come back to haunt Scott or not but that's another story. I will leave it to the director to figure that out. But, I was thinking that it would make a good horror movie you know. A couple who is mad in love with each other and just need a friend to make topics more interesting and when the friend starts to leave them for another girl, they decided to kill the girl. You know, that could make a good movie. LOL!
rose beall The story really gets underway when he decides to rent out the extra room to a couple who begin to interfere in his love life. Brandon Routh does an excellent job in portraying the guy too quick to jump into relationships. The couple that moves in with him decide that they will help him not to jump into a relationship too quickly. On purpose, they try to make him look bad in front of this new women in order to slow him down.I enjoyed the interaction of the characters. Each character was fully developed instead of being a part of the scenery. There are a lot of good laughs, and the comedy is realistic. The marriage ceremony has many good laughs in it too, and we see what lengths the couple will go to.
chapsmack Table for Three turns can be watched if you haven't anything else to do but can be skipped otherwise. Picked it up to see how Superman would fare in a non-extraordinary role and he acts decently but doesn't seem to have much of an acting prowess. Maybe taking some indie role would do him good. The movie itself tries to build as it goes along but with not much of a story line there isn't much to do. The cast meanders through their roles and one can't imagine why Sophia Bush would pick a role like this, not to mention the others. The story-line is feeble and the script isn't powerful enough to drive an oft repeated story. A couple of funnies in the whole movie, hmmm maybe not. Will be out on TV so no need to rush to get the DVD from the store. 5/10.
