| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzA cute, quirky and precocious indie romcom that's set in London. |
| User ReviewMarkus LSaw this on Comcast On Demand. Great low budget film making, shot in 18 days. Excellent structure, very well written and acted emotional beats. Yes, you can make a great romantic comedy on a shoestring budget. (Disclosure: Reviewer got email from Director and is sucking up to get an editing job) |
| User ReviewBruce WThis is so much more than a romantic comedy. Very original with razor sharp writing. Really pulled me in. "Feel good +++++". Only 84 minutes. No filler. Each and every scene was interesting and fun. Comes highly recommended !! |
| User ReviewDaniel KI thought is was a simple yet amazingly told story. |
| User ReviewHolly SThis was a wonderful movie, makes you feel rejuvenated just watching it! |
| User ReviewCliff BA Hidden Gem! Starts our really quirky, and keeps a real independent feel throughout the film! Recommended! |
| User ReviewCynthia SThis is a charming, witty, nice movie. I loved it, and appreciated the uncomfortable moments....they were done with a simple sense, and pace, that made me believe their experiences. The leads were wonderful, and their natural delivery made for a great watch |
| User ReviewHeather MI am not much on chick flixs but this one I must say I really enjoyed. About a girl who has a bad day and along comes a guy who seems to be to nice to be real. He does so much for her in a day and most of the time she is suspious of his actions. Ladies there really are some guys out there that are true and nice. This is very enjoyable from start to finish. 4 stars 7-18-12 |
| User ReviewEd COne line summary: Slow, endearing, thoughtful. -------------------------------- Ashley's day starts badly with an extended interaction with a male aggressor whom she walks away from. He throws hot coffee on her. Michael intervenes. Ashley and Michael are both out of work, and get to know each other over tea, then over clothes shopping for Michael's sister. This was at an haute couture establishment where they were the only customers. Michael pays for this. They have a decadent meal at his expense. Then he demonstrates his 'premonitions.' They visit Michael's sister on her not-so-happy birthday. They hike through an arboretum of some size, during which Michael carried Ashley pick-a-back. They talk and visit an old site of Michael's graffiti writing. Michael asks Ashley to decide the next thing that they together. She asks him to buy a used saxophone for her musician friend. They give the gift, and find out how her friend lost his earlier sax. Ashley sings and plays piano with her friend. They go for a drink. The man who started Ashley's day badly by throwing coffee on her is in the bar. Ashley points him out, then Michael observes him. Michael faces him down in a very public way, then returns to Ashley. Turns out the bad guy is a solicitor for abused women. Michael and Ashley have a beer, and Michael tells her why he wanted her to have a nice day. They had known each other as children. Michael had been rather bad to her then and was hoping to apologise to her now. Will Ashley sort this out? Will Michael let it go? --------Scores------- Cinematography: 8/10 A little fuzzy, but mostly good. Sound: 8/10 A bit soft on conversations, but mostly good. Acting: 8/10 Rather nice. The two principals were quite good. Screenplay: 10/10 Lovely story, well told. |
