I saw this movie back at a screening in beautiful Hollywood on Rodeo Drive. It's based off of a play, Sy's Girls, written by a good friend of mine, Natalie Prado, when she was in college. I loved the movie from the first time I saw it. I recorded it when it was on ABC Family even though it had been edited for time. I am so excited that it is being released on DVD finally! Oh-and the music is great!The story line is great. You can't help but fall in love with all the characters, even the main characters mother who you will recognize from. The stayed true to the original play by having the characters have strong and deep attributes, personalities etc. And while there are things missing from the play it is still fabulous.If you can ever get you hands on a copy of the play, which is extremely hard, you will love it-especially if you read it with friends and have people play the parts.

i watched this movie the day after me and my boyfriend made love for the first time, also after expressing that we loved each other for the first time. i thought it was a great movie, and it could help a lot of people and give them hope. mainly people who are very lonely and don't have anybody to really care for them. like how Quinn kinda freaked when he found out Abby's 'imaginary' boyfriend Simon wasn't 'real'.. he was real to her, and she never had anything else to compare him to so how else was she to go about it. i can relate to this completely, only my guy was real, just the love wasn't, and we never met because he lived thousands of miles away, but the love and the care felt real, until i found the real thing(again). it was one of those sappy movies but i love how Quinn's character changed throughout the movie, to a pompous jerk to a sensitive, caring, art loving guy. all in all, good movie and recommend it to anyone having trouble trusting people and letting them self get close. also just those who like a comedic/romantic movie with a good ending.

Saw this movie this afternoon and liked it, mostly because I don't have a girlfriend or very much social life and this lets me vicariously live a simple dating life. No sex, not much real conflict, just two people who like each other slowly falling in love. Yes, there is a whole story line about another guy Abby(the main character) must deal with, a story line that I must say was unexpected and a bit on the strange side. I wouldn't have minded if that part of the movie was left out completely, because all I was looking for on a Saturday afternoon was a quiet movie without much real depth. I also didn't really care for the stoner best friend, although his humor was rather harmless.What really kept me glued to the set was the character of Abby(played by Shiri Appleby). If I could design my dream girl, complete with looks and personality, it would be this girl down to a t. She is extremely beautiful and in the movie is shy, sweet, and loves art. I wish a girl like that actually existed in the real world, but I doubt I will find anything close. Anyway watching her on screen was bliss and I would watch Shiri in any movie all day long. I didn't really like her love interest(Nick Zano). He does the traditional guy transformation in romantic comedies. He starts out very stupid and uncaring, but changes to an intelligent, sensitive guy in the end. Oh the fantasy. I guess though Abby has such a powerful effect on him he must change.In the end this movie was a nice fluff movie to watch when your lonely and need to go into other peoples lives when you don't have one. I would recommend it to people who need that fix.

A decently executed romantic comedy, this takes a highly delusional young woman who spends much of her spare time with an imaginary boyfriend. Then she encounters a handsome young man, charming, honest and, of course, they conceive an immediate dislike for each other. Since this made-for-TV movie is in a two-hour time slot, we know it will take about seventy-five minutes of screen time for them to fall in love.This could, of course, be played for tragedy, but not on ABC Family, so we have lots of comic relief around the personable but stolid leads: her nutty parents (her mother is played by Edie McClurg) and his stoner roommate.There is a tremendous amount of talent hiding in the corners of this movie and the unifying theme is how art reflects their lives. This is clearly intended by people in their fifties to appeal to young people they know nothing about. Occasionally it is ham-handed, but sometimes it shows the occasional flash of wit. Still, the need to keep things light dims the impact of the characters' emotional problems and the touch of reality that might have elevated this into a superior work.
