Rated R for language
Starring Ryan Kwanten, Sarah Canning, Ryan McPartlin, Catherine O'Hara
Directed by Jeremiah Chechik
The Story:
Leo (Kwanten) has been devastated by his ex-wife's blog, "Why You Suck" in which she spelled out all the reasons that Leo...sucked. He's been in a funk since she left, but then his world changes when he meets Colette (Canning). She is perfect, and he is immediately in love. The problem? She's set to marry Danny (McPartlin). However, with a little encouragement from Colette's mom (O'Hara), Leo is going to try and show Colette that perhaps he doesn't suck, nearly as much as the world thinks he does.
Here's a fun little romantic comedy that I had never heard of, but found while hunting around on Netflix.
I wasn't familiar with any of the actors except for McPartlin (Chuck) and O'Hara, but they do a fine job in their roles.
The movie does start a little slow, but it picks up as the movie rolls along and finishes strong with a better second half.
There are some contrivances straight out of 80s comedies...
But since I grew up on 80s comedies, I have little problem with that.
:)
Pretty fun movie that could have been even better with some minor tinkering.
Available for streaming on Netflix as of this writing.
Final Grade: C+... almost good enough for a higher rating...your mileage could vary.
Rewatchability/Purchase Factor: No reason to purchase, but I could watch it again down the road.
