Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Amanda Pierce (Monica Potter) is an art restorer. She moves into an apartment with four models (Shalom Harlow, Ivana Milicevic, Sarah Murdoch, Tomiko Fraser) after she finds her boyfriend in bed with a model. She falls for the next door neighbor Jim Winston (Freddie Prinze Jr), but she sees him commit a murder Rear Window style.Monica Potter is trying to break into new territory as a comedian who does pratfalls. She isn't very successful. She's a good looking woman who has specific skills. None of it makes her a comedian. The models are ridiculous. The saving grace is that they are all fairly likable actors. The rom-com has some good potential but they switch over to Rear Window pretty quickly. The Rear Window stuff gets into the way.The flip side is if this was going for a Rear Window rework. Then it'd be better to skip all the silly comedic stuff. And the ending goes seriously dark. How does that work?

I cannot criticize negative reactions to this film, but there is a charm that Freddie Prinz possesses that no movie maker has yet capitalized upon. He COULD fill the shoes of Cary Grant IF someone with actual intelligence could write a script suitable for him.My reason for posting this comment is that someone -- in going over the plot -- said the girl did not call the police when she allegedly witnessed Prinz's character murder someone (behind a curtain...so she only saw shadows).She most pointedly and assuredly DID call the police. One of the key plot points for this section of the film is that the police DON'T TAKE HER SERIOUSLY.I'd be able to take a condemnation of this film more seriously IF the reviewer gave some evidence of actually SEEING the film

SPOILERS THROUGHOUT: Despite how much this movie is disliked, I'm a fan. I cannot help it, it's funny! There's this fun quality to it and Monica Potter is so talented(as good as Sandra Bullock-that's quite a compliment), and the models are SO funny. I am a big fan of romantic comedies but hate vulgar humor so this movie doesn't make an 8 for me, simply for that reason. If not for the vulgarity of some of the humor it probably would have, because this is a fun, zany modern romantic comedy. I love the party atmosphere, the spoofs on models(though these models MADE The movie.) Unfortunately for Fredy Prince Jr., while he was good, it was the females, in this movie that stole the show. Monica Potter is wonderful, the models are goofy yet so likable, always up to something and there's a bit of sex and the city in this. I could see women liking it more then men even though there are A lot of pretty women featured in this. But there's so many BAD romantic comedies out there. At least this isn't boring.I happen to HATE bathroom humor in movies. The movie really made an error in some of it's scenes and that is why it only gets a 7 from me and not an 8. I think the movie was trying to appeal to EVERYONE, (the teen crowd, the over 21 clubbing crowd, the chick flick lovers, fans of pure slapstick, etc etc). The movie should have made up it's mind what type of movie it was. In spite of the disgusting, ridiculous few scenes thrown in, I liked this so much it surprises me! Usually any movie that has this kind of humor would not get a 7 from me.But there's just something about this. It's FUNNY and it's funny immediately, and I'm not talking about the bathroom humor(the first half of this is better then the second.). You just start laughing and keep up. It'll never make it into my favorite romantic Comedies(thanks to those above mentioned scenes) but it's still a fun movie.

Unfortunately this movie didn't do well when it came out, possibly because people didn't think Freddie Prinze, Jr was someone who knew how to pick his parts. Who could blame them, with movies like Boys and Girls to his name. However, I found this movie to be very entertaining. I still find myself laughing whenever I watch it again. The only problem with this movie is that the writers spent more time and creative juices on the jokes than the actual plot and the movie goes downhill after Monica Potter and Freddie Prinze, Jr have sex. Bottomline, if you're in dire need of a good laugh this is a good movie to see. If you want something more substantial, watch an Ed Norton flick.
