Waste of time

Pretty Good

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

I watched this movie the other night simply out of boredom and it happened to be on netflix instant watch. I love Rachael Leigh Cook and the lead guy was hilarious as well. Although the premise of the film seems strange, it was filled with fun jokes and dialog, although a little cheesy at times. The end of the movie is very predictable, which is common among all romantic comedies today. You can tell from the beginning that Cook is going to end up with the male lead instead of the very uninteresting fiancé she has in the start of the movie, but the scenarios the film goes through keep the movie very upbeat and fun.Enjoy!

The fact that this movie stayed on the shelf for over 2 years should be a good indication as to how awful it is.Good looking sex-starved Vanessa, who is not a catholic, walks into a catholic church to confess that even if she's getting married in 3 days, she hasn't slept with her fiancé and she wants to sleep with every guy she sees.Well, believe it or not, the man listening to her confession is the church's handyman, Nick.Of course, Nick wants to take advantage of the situation, so he impersonates a priest and tries to get in bed with Vanessa.Shades of "Three's Company" as far as credibility goes...The improbable premise prevents you from believing everything that happens from that point. If you watch this, you'll suffer through 90 minutes of attempted humor delivered by bad actors in a movie shot in a bleak autumn-feeling Montreal that has rarely looked this bad.Michel Cusson's music is up to the crummy standard he has reached since taking his clichéd TV work to the DTV world: Johann Pachelbel must be turning in his grave ! Another score written while sleepwalking and dreaming of that small check he's gonna cash, laughing all the way to the bank (and leaving any self-esteem behind...). A truly annoying score.Rachael Lee Cook is still a looker, but her bad acting makes her unsympathetic character look truly retarded. Too bad she doesn't have the skill to match that cute face...In the end **spoiler** the guy gets the girl he deserves and you get to hate yourself from having wasted your time, yet again, on a clunker filled with unknowns and a cute young actress who'll never rise above this crap.

From the start this movie was simply unbelievably awful. Do not use it as a "date movie" - it'll completely sour any amorous intentions. I recorded it to watch it and within twenty minutes was fast forwarding through a lot of it, pausing for only three or four scenes - the character "Nick" was intolerable. T He generates hatred from the start. Dialogue apparently intended to be funny generates a high level of irritation with him instead. The English accent heightens that irritation. As the irritation continues to worsen, you begin to wonder why no one has hit him or thrown him out. The scenes of his invading the "space" of the bride and groom are unbelievable as well. Invading the bride's dressing room without consequence ? Invading the honeymoon without consequence or resistance? After all that, the bride decides she's in love with him ? The jilted groom walks outside and leaves with "Nick's" sister ? Unbelievable. This movie isn't even good enough for straight to video - I'd bet it's gathering dust on the walls of any video store that may be cursed with ownership of it.

My fiancée wanted to rent this movie since we are getting married in about 4 months. I knew just from the cover I was going to hate it, but I just went along. Well, I did hate it. And so did she. The storyline was absurd; even though it IS a movie, no one in their right mind would believe that a real priest would act the way that the one in this movie does. The acting was definitely lacking - there were many scenes that just looked so unrehearsed it was sad. The priest character had some absolutely ridiculous acting scenes. I wouldn't waste your $3.95 or whatever you may pay to rent this one. I would have rated it a negative if that was an option.
