To me, this movie is perfection.

Highly Overrated But Still Good

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

How To Fall In Love is a TV romantic comedy about a nerdy man named Harold (Eric Mabius)who as a teen was rejected by a girl who he invite to go to the prom with. Fast forward a few years later and his now a grown up man who has no girlfriend and hasn't met the girl who he had a crush on since then. He works as an Accountant and is very shy. But when he meets the girl that he invited to the prom when he was a teenager she decides to help him out by becoming his dating coach and giving him a makeover where his transformed from nerdy to handsome. Will Harold get the girl in the end and ooze with confidence?Overall as I said in the title of this review I could have sworn I seen this before somewhere. I think it was Geek Charming where a nerdy guy has to film a popular girl and the popular girl gives the nerdy guy a makeover and falls in love with him. Here (spoiler alert) same thing only its adults not teenagers. Keep an eye out for an unrecognizable Kathy Najamy from The Wedding Planner and Rat Race as a waitress who works for Annie(Brooke D'Orsay's character who rejected the guy she helps out as a dating coach for Harold) Verdict: Predicatable

An enthusiastic 8! I AM that nerd, and I recognized each step of my own growth in the lessons of Brooke for Eric. When I finally met my eventual wife, the script covers why and how we fell in love. No lessons though on the four kids, the 45 years, and other significances that follow. Perhaps Hallmark has more to teach me? Brooke is not as beautiful as many Hallmark female leads, and the nerdish character of Eric is initially off-putting, so I dialed back my expectations after meeting the leads. However, the script drew me back as I saw my own awakening replayed and the growth of the characters to parallel my own self-awareness. I recommend this movie,and guys - even if no one elbows your ribs, you could do worse than to pay attention. Do not just tell everyone what you learned - SHOW them!

He was a social retardant from his high school years. 20 years later, he's an accountant and photographer, but his social life is still going nowhere. Why? The guy lacks confidence.He meets a girl he went out with in his freshman high school year and she takes on the task of teaching him how to be himself. Of course, the plot itself is how these two people come to fall in love.Kathy Najimy is given little to do here as a waitress working in the same restaurant as our heroine.This is another Hallmark story of people finding out about themselves. It is basically a story of confidence and asserting oneself, handled very well.

When a sensitive but nerdish accountant hires the girl who broke his heart in high school as a dating coach, you know exactly how this movie is going to turn out. When each segment is given a neat chapter head offering the Lesson in What Women Want for a Good Relationship and Men Should Want Them Too, you just know that some women are going to force their boyfriends to watch this with them, punctuating the instruction with "Why don't you ever do that?" Later, when those boyfriends leave for other women, they will be extremely confused.Despite my distaste for the narrative stupidity of this movie, I enjoyed it. Mostly I attribute it to some excellent performances by the leads -- Eric Mabius really seems to know how to act for the camera -- and a wonderfully silly small turn by Kathy Najimy. There is also some beautiful photography, particularly a marshland sequence near the end.I think you'll enjoy this one, but please, ladies, if you force your boyfriends to watch this and insist on asking him why he doesn't do these things, don't poke him in the ribs to emphasize your point.
