Laura van Kessel (lauravankessel) Seriously. I don't think I've ever seen less believable acting that Ryan Scott's. Within 10 minutes I'm annoyed with every line he utters. It's wooden and stiff... It's just bad acting!Jeannette Sousa isn't all that bad, but also not really convincing.I bet the story line is somewhat fun, but I just can't stomach it. Do not recommend.
Jack Vasen This was an enjoyable, cute and funny movie. Not the greatest, but fun enough. I'm sure that some will compare this to My Big Fat Greek Wedding and some comparisons are apt.Maria is beautiful, and charming and extremely quirky. And she snores. Jack is one of those earthy guys who doesn't let anything go by without making a joke. Maria's family is very traditional. Her father would be tough on any man.This movie is about the two falling in love, and about trying to make it work in a family where everything is stacked against Jack from the start. The two have so many differences that you would think they would be better off with someone else.There are funny moments, and sweet moments.
niutta-enrico A nice comedy, fresh, inspired, full of interesting ideas, with good dialogue (and small budget). You might not recognize the exteriors because it's not US but Canada (Toronto).And the Actors playing the two main characters (Jack and Maria) are Canadians too. They also wrote the script and produced the movie, together, and truly are husband and wife in real life. Which is nice and interesting at the same time. As it is movie's flash-forward structure, which adds to production's overall quality and originality. Many good actors help to keep the attention high, starting from the great Joaquin de Almeida (who really is Portuguese) to Vik Sahay. Singer Nelly Furtado plays a nice cameo (Nelia: Maria's favorite cousin…) and the musical score includes one piece I like and it's poorly known: 'Ticket to Love' from the Hawaiian band 'Goodbye Elliott'. Enjoy.
tombellingham My wife and I loved this movie! The Characters were very realistic and the family is very much like a Portuguese family that I know. The script was witty and the acting by Ryan Scott and Jeannette Sousa was excellent! The dog in the movie was very funny! Joaquim De Almeida was very believable as the father. I have seen him in many movies and this role was very different for him. We thought it was funnier than My Big Fat Greek Wedding! I have heard that this was a low budget film but I did not feel that it was low budget. The rain seen was very realistic and the break up seen was very sad. Vic Sahay was very funny as well! We found that we enjoyed it so much with all the characters that it would make a good sitcom.
