Dealbreaker (2005)

hilarious

[10/10 · 10 December 2005]

When asked to discuss her dating history for someone's college thesis, Fran tells the story of several relationships she has had that failed. Through the use of flashbacks, you get to see all of the nonsense and "dealbreakers" she experienced that caused the demise of each and every one of them. From rude, to childish, to still caught up in the college life, the viewer gets to see Fran's dealbreaker/break-up cinching rationale for getting the hell out of dodge. The climax of the short does not disappoint. It is irreverently and unbelievably funny. I have been talking about it with my friends for days.

The way I got the short film DVD was through Glamour magazine (it was included in the Jan/2006 issue as an insert). Enjoy!!

The Wedding Date (2005)

Not a typical chick flick

[9/10 · 14 September 2005]

I think The Wedding Date was a really good movie! The plot was not a foregone conclusion, there was witty banter, wonderful music, great acting, interesting characters. I loved Debra Messing's character. And DM is sooooo HOT! The highlights are: naked DM, the soundtrack, likable characters, captivating movie.

Durmot Mulroney is a pretty diversified actor. He can play a bad/good guy, do a comedy/drama, be 1st banana or 2nd banana. It's nice to see a triple threat actor. I heard he's really artistic (musician, artist, poet) and a great dad. I looked online to see if he was still married to Catherine Keneer and he IS! I was surprised, I thought I heard they were getting divorced. He's a fine male specimen. He and Debra Messing have great chemistry in the movie as well. I like CKs movies but I have no idea who she really is; she seems guarded and false.

See it with zero (or more) expectations and you will be pleasantly surprised :)
