I'm with Lucy Trailers

It's an hour before Lucy's wedding and her best friend wants to hear all about what led up to that moment. So, Lucy tells about the five men she had blind dates with over the past year (Doug, Gabriel, Bobby, Barry, and Luke) and her experiences with each one. But which one of the five men is Lucy about to walk down the aisle with?

I thought that she shouldn't choose the one who looks like her (in past, marks, circumstances.. etc) because this may be a mutual narcissism. You're just looking for the one who is relatively differing from you, having whatever attracts you (so the positive attracts the negative in physics). In brief we fall in love – forever this time ! – with whoever completes us, and maybe all of that applies to the character of the intellectual very patient first date regarding that he tolerated (Lucy) in her worst states ever, didn't take advantage of her, and above all he has virtues she doesn't have as he learns from her too ! The script avoided him as the winner of Lucy's heart whether because she didn't fall in love with him or to make sure that this is one character that turned into a better person because of her, unlike her relationships with all the rest of the men/dates whence she was the one who was influenced by them. The movie itself was super fun as a great new plot, or as an engaging performance from everybody especially from (Monica Potter) who's so lovely and sensitive. Strange that a lot of people say that she is the young copy of (Julia Roberts) or that she is doing the kind of roles that (Meg Ryan) done !! Well, they're all mistaken and all of their so-called reviews is just pure crap ! She is on her own, like no other but unfortunately having the bad luck all over her career which I think that it had TV works and independent movies more than any Hollywood flicks.Anyway, although I believe that there is no rules in Love but I've always thought that this lead didn't make the right choice, like she selected herself but in a manly copy ! And believe me on the long run that's not a good thing to do. Certainly, I "wasn't" with Lucy in this !P.S: if you're thinking like me that (Lucy) made the wrong choice. Please E-mail me.

I had never seen Monica Potter before. She is adorable in this film, somewhere between Julia Roberts (as I think other folks have suggested) and Juliette Lewis. As a woman though I watched this Rom-Com (remember such films are not deep and shouldn't be deep, and are really only intended as a 'lech-fest')rather more for the fellas. And on the whole they're an extremely nice looking bunch. The idea of the film is that the dumped Lucy is set up on five blind dates by her helpful sister, and in intriguing snippets we watch how these dates work out. Perhaps the only real problem with the film is that it's obvious from the moment he comes on to the screen who the ultimate lucky guy who gets to marry her is going to be. That said I must give Henry Thomas and Anthony LaPaglia special mention for being so entertaining throughout. This is a nice little film for a wet Sunday afternoon: just right to raise your spirits.

I don't think it was so bad. I thought it was actually a pretty accurate account of blind dating. I have (and still do, on occasion) dated guys from singles' services. You meet some nice people, and you meet some real jerks. You meet some guys who have mouths full of rotten teeth. You meet some guys who want to psychoanalyze your life after a 15-minute telephone conversation. You meet some guys who hold you as you cry through a flashback and help you through the worst times in your life--guys you'll never forget who will always mean the world to you as true friends. And, you meet guys who seem wonderful--ideal, even--for the whole time you're dating, but then you spend your first extended time alone with them, and find out they're a monster.Yeah, the movie was pretty darned accurate. Lucy lucked out, actually. She found out the guy was a monster before she'd lived with him for three years and bought a house with him.I was thinking through the last part of the movie, "Oh, no! She's gonna end up with Luke because David's the big-name star, and it's the Barry guy that she should really be with! He's the best guy for her! Darn it!" They surprised me! They actually surprised me! She didn't end up with Luke! I'm not going to say who she ended up with, though! I will say it was a surprise! All the guys really surprised me. I thought they were all kinda jerky in their own way at the beginning--one of them in particular. Heck, one of them wouldn't have gotten a second date with me! But, he ended up being a pretty decent guy. That shocked me out of my gourd! I really think this was a very true-to-life movie. I know a lot of people who saw it said it was stupid. I respectfully disagree. I recommend it to anyone who has ever been on a series of blind dates with different men. You will *so* be able to relate to this film! There aren't as many laughs as you'd expect in a romantic comedy, but there is a lot of heartwarming.That's my review, and I'm sticking to it! :-)

There is no purpose in this movie. Maybe it's just shot for entertainment but i cannot say they succeeded in doing that.This movie just addresses some teen girls who search for the famous "Right Guy"."While I was watching the movie life just stopped for me, I completely forgot my identity and I felt like I was Lucy instead. I felt I am not capable of choosing any of those five men and i felt I gotta get away. So I turned my player off and I returned to my real life. So tragic, isn't it?.."
