Teenager Alex is shunned at school, a surprise since he is quite good looking. Maybe not making a crucial shot at the last basketball game was a factor. His guardian, older brother Jack, has no problems with the ladies. That is, until his 'personal fitness' career gets personal with the wrong female. Now, organized crime may want his scalp, if Jack doesn't do the mob tango and court beautiful Rachel (Hunter Tylo) to ascertain business secrets. Will Alex be in danger? Is there no way out for all parties? Tylo is one of the most beautiful ladies on the planet. If you agree and you love romantic tales, then you must must this film. Jack is quite an eyeful as well and Alex will probably make the younger female crowd go into rhapsodies, too. The plot is a bit silly but the triumph of the underdog is always a welcome storyline. There are those movie fans who will continually fight the good fight of finding another tale of kisses and happy endings. If you are one of these, keep your eyes peeled for this one at the video store or library.
... View MoreThe only reason I watched this movie was as a result of a combination of channel surfing, eating breakfast, and procrastinating. Now part of me wishes I hadn't wasted my time trying to figure out why on earth this movie was even made by actually sitting through the entire thing waiting for the pay off and another part of me is glad I saw it because it gives hope to all the wannabe screenwriters out there. The plot is ridiculous (and not in a good way), the characters lack any kind of substance or depth, and the cameos are not worth it at all. As a matter of fact I find myself wondering how the director even got the cameos... What incredible favor did these people owe and to whom? The writer? The director? The producer(s)? And the truly sad thing is it seemed the script was written entirely as a result of these connections with celebs in order to produce a movie with cameos. That whole reasoning just disgusts me. Whatever happened to just wanting to tell a good story? I mean, they don't all have to be Casablanca, but even Ferris Bueller's Day Off is akin to Gone with the Wind in comparison with this trite piece of trash.
... View MoreI did like the movie but primarily the parts which screened Hunter Tylo. Considering this is tylo's only movie, I would definitely recommend her fans to watch it. Well to be fair the acting sucked. This is the only movie which features Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears (air hostess!) and The Rock! But the screen just lights up when Tylo comes on.For anybody who is expecting anything more than a plot which befits a grade school story book, this shall turn out to be disappointing. Actually the numerous cameos by celebrities like JT are pretty hilarious, and try their best to make up for the perennially weeping look adorned by Joey Sculthorpe in his attempted romantic and sensitive look. Jen Morris is actually pretty OK and spicy in her role. But of course the movie centers around Tylo and i give the director credit for not forgetting what his assets are :)
... View MoreDumb, but funny if you're 16 and in love with almost every guy on the screen. Which happens to describe me. It's filled with the dumbest, yet funniest cameos I've seen in a while. If you're up on the songs sang by the people in this, you'll see why "Dumb, but funny..." fits it. Corny lines, but they're so corny they're funny.
