Available: A Modern Day Fairy Tale

 

Why?

I have had this movie on my list of things to watch for a while and that's just because the trailer was insanely weird. I figured it was time to give it a watch.

What in the world?

A college student loses her parents and inherits a billboard company. While in her hometown, she meets a local pizza boy and they pretend to date. She also teaches him business because he wants to be someone. His words not mine.

Personal thoughts

This movie was really bad. The dialogue was strange and the acting was atrocious. Dave was weird. Dave was the guy that broke up with the main lady at the beginning because he didn't want to try long distance. I mean fair enough, but he had such awkward pauses before he delivered any of his lines that it made me uncomfortable. He also was creepy and followed her after her parents died. I don't know what was up with that. You broke up with her dude. Anyway, the main guy's family was Italian and they were very stereotypical which was so sad. The dad had a heart attack, for no reason mind you, and blamed it on eating too many calzones. They just really wanted to hammer in the point that he is Italian.

Score

I have to give this movie a 2 out of 10. While I wanted to be anywhere else while watching this, the movie had a small, small bit of charm. I did not like the ending however. It leaves us off on a cliffhanger which is a problem. I mean why would you leave us with hopes of a sequel. Nobody has hopes for a sequel. Oh well, I can't complain too much. I'm not going to watch a sequel if it happens.

Watch what you love,
Your fellow film watcher
