Dr. Lee (Rhys Darby) is a transplanted Brit and an OB-GYN working in the Los Angeles area. At work, he is very confident that he can provide excellent care to his patients and good bedside manner, too. But, away from the office or hospital, he is very shy around women. He makes blind dates and then becomes a no-show. His aunt, Irma, lives next door and worries very much about his future romantic happiness. One day, he has a fall and is confined to a wheelchair for a week. Wouldn't you know, a beautiful lady, Alex (Sasha Alexander) accidentally stumbles over him on a sidewalk, not watching where she is going, and a conversation ensues. For the first time in a great while, Lee can actually talk to a woman without hesitation, mostly because Alex takes an interest in him. Soon, they make arrangements to meet again but although Irma asks him to tell Alex the truth, Lee only feels confident that he has Alex's attention when he is seemingly disabled. This charade goes on quite awhile, with Alex admitting she wants to "date" Lee. Now what will he do? Meanwhile, Alex's sister and brother-in-law, a character on a children's show, are pregnant but is the baby the husband's or is the fetus' father the one "afternoon stand" wife had with a co-worker? Here are some problems two couples will have to work out indeed! This is a sweet and funny romcom that should please fans. Yes, it has a small bit of risqué material but, overall, is quite wonderful. (There is one scene involving a Chihuahua that will upset viewers, push the fast forward button). Darby is very funny, resembling Dudley Moore, and Alexander makes a beautiful love interest. All of the other cast members do fine work, too. This viewer also loved the nice costumes, sets, funny situations and well-paced direction. Having trouble finding any romantic comedies at the theater? Stroll over to the nearest DVD store and try to locate this one.

Lighthearted, funny and a wonderful watch, the casting is fabulous, Sasha Alexander is amazing, the highlight of the film for me (I am so learning those dance moves!) and Rhys Darby is so cute in a painful way. There isn't a weak link in this cast, the dull Sister, the nosey Aunt and the drunk whale all made me giggle. Great watch for a girls night, makes you believe in love and that there is someone for everyone out there, no matter what. Edoardo Ponti, writes, directs, produces and has a cameo which sometimes puts me off a film buthe does this so well seriously give this lovely film a go.It was made in less than a month and on a small budget but you honestly wouldn't think so, I had to buy a region 1 as it doesn't appear to be out on region 2 but watched it on my laptop several times and still laugh. Buy it you would be mad not to!

The TNT movie Coming & Going was absolutely spectacular!!! The whole cast & crew should be proud of their amazing work. Sasha tweeted me & told me the movie was made in only 23 days & on a low budget. That movie was the best one I've seen in a long time , if not my favorite movie of all time. The main reason I watched it was because of Sasha , but after seeing it I want to watch it again & again just to watch her & the other actors/actresses. If you haven't yet seen it I suggest that everyone sees it , you will be blown away by the awesomeness & genius that is Coming & Going. I have to write one last line & I will use it to say that this movie is incredible. I watched it two times the night it came out.

Very cute movie, lighthearted, somewhat adult in nature (mind the little ones - you might have to explain some things!). Funny and sweet in the right places. I was quite surprised to learn that this was a 100% indie project - it has the look and feel of a standard-budget cute summer romcom. The actors are not necessarily well known, though Sasha Alexander's name might be familiar to more people now she's got a hit show, but they're comedy genius. Fionnula Flanagan is terrific as the nosy aunt who lives next door, Rhys Darby is perfect in the role of the guy who just can't get it together enough to make it with a girl, and Alexander is perfect in her role as the girl who's given up on guys (but not completely). Definitely recommend this movie to anyone (though like I said, mind the little ones, as there are definitely a few, um, "adult" moments).
