Falling Up

Charming Romance
We enjoyed this film. It is hard to do romantic comedy well- and most film makers do not try to do more than provide an adequate workmanlike product following the familiar formulas that have worked before. Some folks would say that this film also followed the formula and to some extent that is true but there were some significant departures that added real poignance to the story. It helps that the female lead was the luminous Sarah Roemer, who also also shined in the fabulous, and literally riotous, Brazilian comedy "Romeo and Juliet get Married" (A romantic comedy that is also the all time greatest satire on soccer fans ever made- and yes I have seen the original English version of 'Fever Pitch'). Sarah has made my personal list of favorite actresses. In this film she continued to display the same sure touch and sense of timing. However, the rest of the cast also did very well.

njce twist on a romance
I bought the DVD because I saw part of the movie on TV, but missed the first half. So wanted to see the whole thing, The relationship of the main characters and the supporting actors intrigued me with the contrast in the 'rich girl - poor man' plot. In some ways it is a bit schmaltzy and you can almost guess what is going to happen, but it takes a while to resolve. In addition to the romance aspect, it is also a story about how folks judge others by their looks and their station in life.

Great
This movie was a very good movie, great for the whole family to enjoy. I had lots of fun watching this movie
