Surprise Me! (2017)

Surprise Me!: Directed by Nancy Goodman. With Fiona Gubelmann, Jonathan Bennett, Nicole Sullivan, Sean Faris. What if pain was merely a set up for the ultimate surprise party? Genie Burns, owner of Surprise Enterprise, masterminds off the wall surprise parties in nobody would-suspect-it locations. Here she takes crazy risks but in her love life, she plays it safe. Her partner Steven, who hilariously calls her out on every issue she owns, is gay which makes him safe. Danny, her friend from college would be perfect for her but she keeps him in the friend zone. Along comes Jeff, everything she avoids, but his charm and depth draw her in. Is he the right one because he challenges her fears, or the wrong one because he implodes them? And why, she asks, are cereal boxes summoning her in the night! Meanwhile, Surprise Enterprise is hired by an anonymous Hollywood producer to throw a surprise wedding for his intended bride. Genie must get the bride down the aisle without knowing she’s the bride. Her plan is to have him pretend he’s filming a movie with a wedding at the end, giving his girlfriend a role. But as Genie plans the wedding, everything seems to go wrong, and her own life begins to take turns. In the end, what’s real in life screams…. Surprise!

“Good watch, would watch again, and can recommend.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis is a good, if somewhat standard, u0026quot;boy next dooru0026quot; trope mixed with a u0026quot;control freaku0026quot; and u0026quot; eating disorderu0026quot; cliches.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFiona Gubelmann pretty much carries the movie, but sheu0026#39;s good enough to watch it just for her. Sadly, I think this plays a factor as a lot of the movie is just her not accepting the availability of the guy she loves.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSure, itu0026#39;s a chick flick, but the way the break down and dissect the scenarios through the scenes is pretty good.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt was an uplifting watch that I could really use at the time.”
