“The movie tries hard not to be your typical Romantic comedy. Itu0026#39;s a little too up beat and hip and does not focus on the romance or the comedy as much as it shouldu003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eCharlie is the archetype alpha male with the fly job the fly crib and a odd hang up about settling down that makes him vastly different than his two married friends, and gives us a bunch of scenes of them sitting around drinking lattes or working out where they can debate about this. Than he meets that chick who changes his mind about it.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI got to admit, that I did like how the situation develop, it was an interesting twist.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eBut Charlie does follow the formula for the rom-com lead to the tea, making it hard for Terrence J to shine his charm through the staleness of it. I did enjoy seeing him try, however. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003ePaula Pattonu0026#39;s role as Charlieu0026#39;s sister is way too short for it to be such a key note that it was. Itu0026#39;s almost like they added it afterwards in order to make the movie make more sense than it would have without. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI wished it was funnier than it was, too. Not even Donald Faison whose job it was to be funny as Charlieu0026#39;s best friend, was making me laugh.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMaybe I should not say anything about French Montanau0026#39;s over dressed cameo appearance. He was not in the movie cause he can act, but man, could they not find someone better on camera for this?u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eEven the hot love scenes were kinda bland after awhile.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOverall, I did like how the story played out, not enough to make it worthy of my cash at the box office. Catch it when it comes on cable late at night.”
