This was a very enjoyable and laughter filled film. There were many scenes that kept me laughing especially when the lead actress Eric would make calls for her job. The concept of the "Miss Dial" in which Erica would call a random person and just talk with them was a very original idea to me. It really made me think about how, despite all these social networks, are disconnected from people outside the people we see everyday. Less and less people are breaking out of their comfort zone to meet new people and more and they are stuck behind a computer screen. Although I really enjoyed this film the ending was no much to my liking as it ended up like any other love story with the man and women meeting and having a happily ever after.
... View MoreWe went to a special screening last night of MISS DIAL in the writer/director's hometown and it was an extremely awesome experience. First of all, he taped an intro to the movie and gave a personal shout-out to his hometown and his family. Second, the theater was packed and you could feel the excitement in the air. Third, the movie was by far one of the best romantic comedies I have ever seen. The last reviewer must have been in a different theater, because the audience was laughing throughout the entire movie and some folks were even crying at the touching ending. If you need a belly-aching good laugh and a feel good story that leaves you wanting more, than look no further than MISS DIAL. I may have to start stalking David Steinberg to write the sequel because I'm dying to know what happened between Erica and Kyle. I'm smiling just thinking about what a wonderful movie it was. Can't wait to see again and again.
... View MoreMy husband and I saw Miss Dial earlier tonight with some friends, and everyone really liked it. It is a very cute and upbeat movie and there are several laugh-out-loud moments/scenes. If you have ever had a crappy "gotta-pay-the-bills" job, you'll identify with Erica, the main character, and her attempt to inject a little bit of fun and humanity into her daily routine. Both Erica and the male lead are very likable characters -- you will root for them to succeed throughout the movie. The sets are simple (mainly apartment settings) and most of the dialog takes place via phone conversations with the callers appearing in split-screen view. My husband and I agree that this is definitely a movie that we would recommend, and we would both see it again!
... View MoreIf you want a good date movie for a Friday night, this one is definitely worth a watch. The funnies parts are watching Erica deal with all the customers' calls and complaints. We know this goes on and we've all probably been on the customer's end, complaining to the service representative. Its funny and romantic, the perfect example of a "romanic comedy." The writing is very clever and keeps your attention throughout the film. It has some big stars from film and TV that you will instantly recognize and some new up-and-commers. For a good movie that will make you laugh and warm your hear, definitely give this Miss Dial a try.
