 You Have To Kiss Many Frogs Before You Find A Prince May 23, 2004
Dumb Blonde Reviewing (In my bed)
I got this DVD free in a magazine, and I'm normally very wary of DVDs that get handed out so freely - they're normally really bad! Or not worth the money you paid for the magazine. But this seemed tempting, as it was a romance (my favourite kind), and had Famke Janssen and the brilliant Jon Favreau in it.pWhen I started watching it, I was entranced straight away. Despite having loads of piracy trailers before the actual movie, and not having much else in the way of extras (only a trailer), I found myself laughing, and nearly in tears at points.pEveryone knows (or at least, I know) Jon Favreau from Friends - he played Monica's millionaire boyfriend, Pete, who then tried to become a World Fighting Champion. He was fantastic in this. Playing an artist this time, who does very surreal paintings. (Someone pulling a severed head out of somewhere for example!) He was fantastically funny, brilliantly neurotic, and apart from the awful side burns, and the curly goatee (not both at the same time thankfully), was also kinda cute looking. In a way where you want to give him a cuddle. Not knee-trembling gorgeous.pFamke Janssen starts off in the film, as a 9-year-old girl, who is in love with the guy who bullies her. (Right) She's kinda geeky looking, and not what you'd call pretty, but what children ever are? She's totally 'in love' with this guy, until she tells all to her big-mouthed friend, and ends up in tears when he dumps her. After this, she quite happily admits to having relationships with thirteen men (I'm falling WAY behind by her standards), which she admits to Adam's character over lunch/dinner/something. Later he tells her that he's only been with two women. (Very reminiscent of a scene in an early season of Friends when Monica and Richard are together, and are telling each other how many people they've slept with. Monica's is less than a ballpoint, and Richard's is two) By the end of the movie, this number has risen up to 14 - having a relationship with a Not-So-Bright-Porn-Star-Robert De Niro- loving actor. The whole point of this movie is that Famke's character is a journalist, and has to write an article about relationships - in which she knows more about, how shall we say, giving guys 'pleasure', than actual relationships. Most of the movie is done in flashback, as she goes through most of the bad/good relationships she's had, with narration, as the article gets written through her experiences - with lots of cheesy/romantic lines thrown in along the way!pThis film goes into what relationships are all about, and how you have to go through a lot of guys before you find the perfect one. It also briefly touches the painful subject of unwanted pregnancy, and then losing the baby anyway. There's also some strange scenes, where they realise they haven't had slept together for 3 weeks, try, and then realise they're "too tired". And then the all too painful break-up. You can work out what happens from there on. pThis is a terrific film, to watch as a couple (the guys will probably like Famke, as she appears wearing very little most of the time), or to watch alone, and think about the pain of relationships. Or the good things about relationships. Depends what mood you're in really. The DVD is definitely worth keeping, full of fun, happiness, and sadness all at the time. Once in a blue moon, you will get a free DVD, that is actually really good! It will be a good addition to my growing collection. pWatch out for an uncredited 'cameo' by David Schwimmer (Ross from Friends) too!

Famke Janssen(The X-Men Movies, GoldenEye) and Jon Favreau(Made,Swingers) are perfect as the couple who get together then break up and then get back together again. The 2 when breaking up seem to be following each other and they have annoying opposites. Janssen gets involved with Noah Emmerich(The Truman Show, Windtalkers) who is really married. It's like this and Favreau keeps on bugging her. It's a good story with good actors. Highlight would be when David Schwimmer(Tv's just recently canceled Friends and Kissing The Fool)visits Favreau as a Johova's Witness
 I cheese sandwich this movie! February 1, 2004

This movie is absolutely fantastic. It epitomizes the ironies and comical ways of common relationships. I love it!
Love...in a dorky kind of way January 9, 2004

I dont know why I initially picked this movie out a couple of yeas ago...but I did. And I am glad I found this. I am a recovering moviefanatic who got tired of the stereotypes of love. Favreau reminded me of myself. The movie in itself shows the love of finding someone in a lonely world. The ability to like someone new and different. Being a dork myself, I found this to not only be one of my favorite date movies, but one of my favorite movies in general. It teaches me a lot about the turns and twists a relationships takes in a couples life. But if true love, and real people are there. It always works. But most of all, it taught me not to take love, sex or myself in both too seriously or you can become someone else.

I LOVE THIS MOVIE! (IDAHO)
This movie is amazing. I honestly was not expecting much from it, but I am so glad that I decided to watch it. This movie shows what REAL relationships are like. Often in the movies, relationships are depicted as either too perfect or too crappy. This movie shows how two people can be so in love, but how the minor irrations of every day life can cause more of a problem then it should.pBut this DVD!!!
