Dave McClain The romantic comedy "Baggage Claim" (PG-13, 1:36) is the entertaining story of a single 30-something woman looking for Mr. Right and dealing with serious pressure from her family to find him – right now.Montana Moore (Paula Patton) is a flight attendant who wants to settle down, but her search for a husband has been impeded by the demands of her job, her high standards, and the occasional two-timing boyfriend. When Montana's younger sister announces her engagement, Mo feels the pressure, especially from her mother (Jenifer Lewis). Mo's well-meaning co-workers and friends (Jill Scott and Adam Brody) hatch a plan to use their airport contacts to let Montana know when one of her old boyfriends is flying somewhere (since "everyone flies during the holidays") and get Mo on the flight for a not-so-chance encounter. After all, one of her exes may have blossomed into the man she's looking for.Mo has 30-days to find a great date -slash- potential mate to take to her sister's rehearsal dinner - to satisfy her own goals, and to get her mother off her back. Mo's 30,000 mile odyssey leads her to encounters with former suitors played by, among others, Taye Diggs, Boris Kodjoe, Trey Songz and past Oscar nominee Djimon Hounsou. All the while, Mo's childhood friend (Derek Luke), who lives in the apartment across the hall, is there to encourage Mo and just be a friend when she needs one.The story's path may be predictable, but the journey is still pretty enjoyable. The major characters are charming and funny - especially Mo (although Patton does have a tendency to overact at times). There are a number of laugh-out-loud moments and the movie has some important things to say about family, friends, life and love. What's "B" stand for? "Baggage Claim", that's what.

kayceeroy I have no idea whether or not Paula Patton actually read the script before signing up for the role, but this movie certainly does little to nothing but justify her talents. If you've watched her in Deja Vu, then this movie will strike you as the lowest she's ever sunken in her movie roles. The storyline is very weak to say the least. You can literally guess what will happen from one scene to the very last, including the credits. I felt sorry for actors like Trey Songz. If he is serious about acting, this may not have been a good movie to make his first impression in. The movie's attempt at humor was also poor. There was only one joke the audience laughed at in the whole movie. I am not surprised the movie was pulled out from the theaters in my neighborhood after only a few days. It is one that belongs to the DVDs.

paolagonzalez625 I never write movie reviews but this movie was so funny and cute. I laughed smiled cried throughout the whole thing. It was just what I needed. Paula Patton does a good job as do the rest of the characters. I really like Paula Patton in general, she is beautiful and charming in all her movies.These movies can be so cheesy sometimes but this time around it was more funny than anything. I loved Tray songs and seeing Tia Moury as well as Lala. Adam Brody is a great actor and I was surprised to see him here and in a different character. Im also from the DC area and I love the fact that a lot of movies are now taking place here. This is perfect movie for a girls night in.

cinematic_aficionado A story about baggage, the emotional type that people carry for not conforming to society's norms. The film deals with the concept of marriage, how we all are made for it and the attractive leading lady has somehow not tied the knot though keenly looking for her Mr Right and though she went far, she seemed to miss what is good and near. Whilst in the quest, she discovers her no-no's in men and how once someone is an ex, it is best he stays an ex.Ultimately, the question has to arise: do people marry because they want to and are committed to it or because they have to?Whilst it offers a charming and pleasant experience it is not inventive as a story, succumbing to the rom-com principle of Mr & Mrs perfect live happily ever after. Not a bad experience for viewers who go in couples.
