Recap: Amanda has the worst judgment of men. And home early from job she finds that her latest choice is cheating on her. She moves out and rents a room in apartment with some models. And across the street lives Jim. For the first time ever, when Amanda meets Jim she feels her knees buckle under her. Is Jim the one? Amanda certainly believes so, until she thinks she sees him murder another woman. The cop doesn't believe her, and there is no proof, but Amanda obsessively launches her own investigation. And she must be done by Saturday, she got a date with Jim.
Comments: A rather typical romantic comedy who does it by the usual steps. But there are a few unusual steps, or maybe I should say falls, that gives a little edge. Most of the time it is average. It is your run of the mill every day evening romantic comedy. Something to watch with one eye. But don't let your mind wander too much, then you will miss these gems. Like when Amanda meets Jim for the first time. Or the clumsy Australian model Candi that keep having these small accidents. Those gems make me like it.
I just wish it would refrain from trying to score these really juvenile points. Maybe that's why Amanda moves in with three models and not three accountants (no offence, all accountants). I can accept that. But these poop jokes? Oh, grow up.
Apart from those fortunately few moments, it is actually rather good. Totally OK for an evening in front of the TV (but not so good I would rent it).
6/10
