If Lucy FellReview by M. Hill, 2010-05-25
If Lucy Fell is a romantic, quirky, screwball comedy revolving round two room mates. Lucy (Sarah Jessica Parker) a New York therapist has just ended another doomed relationship, Joe (Eric Schaeffer) her room mate is obssessed with Jane (Elle MacPherson) their neighbour who he still has not spoken to after two years...So Lucy asks the question should we reconsider the rash 'death pact' we made in college, where if neither of them where in committed, serious, view to marriage relationships by the time they turned 30 years old they would jump off the Brooklyn bridge. This is a light hearted entertaining movie, if your a fan of SJP you'll love this. Great soundtrack to boot.
When Sarah Jessica Parker fell
Review by Ben Ochoa, 2010-04-22
The appeal of Sarah Jessica Parker befuddles me. She's whiney, fairly homely, but has Hollywood to make her look like the desirable piece of tail she's played repeatedly in whatever she does. Even her most successful role in "Sex in the City" plays on this somehow drummed up myth that Parker is appealing to men. Maybe Matthew Broderick. But strident, homey, little talented actresses get little slack in my department. And ever since "Honeymoon in Vegas," all she's ever been in demand to play is the same dang thing over and over, some type of sought after piece of tail. What a career! She's right up there with Christie Canyon in that department. On that basis alone, this movie flops from it's first dialogue. There hasn't been 1 thing Parker has put out that I'd pay to see.
AHHH Please jump!
Review by Martha Hamilton, 2010-02-07
I thought I would like it because I like SJP and it seemed it would be cute. Oh LORD, it is not! The whole movie I was wincing at Eric Schaeffer making a FOOL of himself in a way that provoked no laughs and all pain. I just wanted him to jump off the bridge already! Along with all the guys who go after SJP in the film.
er... it misses the mark I believe
Review by B. E Jackson, 2009-10-02
If Lucy Fell isn't really a bad movie. It's not particularly funny either, except for a scene involving a flying telephone, and a fair share of subtle moments here and there.
It's not a bad romantic comedy. I didn't expect much because I'm not a fan of Jessica Parker, but I guess it could have been a lot worse.
Now, had this been a more serious storyline with drama instead of comedy, two people agreeing to kill themselves before their 30th birthday without finding their soulmate would have made for a better movie in my opinion.
I feel 3 stars is a good rating. Definitely better movies out there though in the romantic comedy department.
Highly-defined stupidity
Review by Samuel Chell, 2008-04-07
Since acquiring a Sony HD TV, I've been watching far too many bad movies for no better reason than the novelty of seeing images in high definition. But with fare this bad, and with HD channels comparatively few, I'm seriously considering returning to the old 20" GE--either that or order one of the pay services like BET Jazz.
This film is so sophomoric, from conception to script to realization, that either the filmmakers are cinematic ignoramuses or colossal cynics, serving up anything intelligible to the lowest forms of humanity. The writing, especially the dialog, is on the level of the most obvious sit-coms minus the laugh track--a regression by light years from any 30-minute Norman Lear production. There are even more close-ups than you're likely to see in a made-for-TV counterpart. About the only thing that distinguishes this turkey as a theatrical release is the explicit crudeness of the language (which doesn't begin to approach Lenny Bruce, Richard Pryor or "The Aristocrats"--this film can't even make talking dirty much fun).
The two male leads are cast in the roles of archetypal, short-guy losers who still make out. But clearly neither they nor their writers have seen a Woody Allen film or, for that matter, Chaplin, Keaton, or the Marx Brothers. Maybe not even Steve Martin. Ben Stiller walks around like a clueless guest at a Halloween costume party trying to get noticed with a whoopee cushion.
At least the two women do justice by my Sony picture, permitting me to turn off the sound and improvise my own script inspired by the possibilities of the intelligence lurking beneath faces that, while expressive, leave you wondering about what--and why.
