Tokana Hennequin Lance Valenteen (David Boreanaz) is "Mr. Fix It", a match-maker, but to resolve relationship issues and to make the woman realize their exes weren't as bad as they originally thought. And he credits this to his lack of abilities to love again; that's until he meets Bill Smith who enlists his help to win back his Italian girlfriend, Sophia. Lance's rules that in no way is he going to have sex with the clients ex... and there's a full refund if there's no reconciliation; but will he ignore his own rules when it comes to Sophia? Everything goes to plan; he pretends to be the worst boyfriend of all, has fun while doing it, and he's so confident about this case that he uses all the refund money to fix up his car in time for the care races; but that's all until a huge and betraying secret is revealed!David Boreanaz is excellent with his portrayal of the lonely and childish Lance Valenteen and delivering the ever-so embarrassing jokes. He's also really good at being the jealous boyfriend, good -but at times late- friend, and the just mean boyfriend. And he works with his worst enemy: a live bird!Alana is also great at being funny, loving and down-to-earth. But most of all, she's able to work along side David, keep up and be as equally entertaining.This movie may be a bit cheesy and on the mushy romantic side -a great girls-night-in movie!- but it's a movie the guys can appreciate and relate to, as well. It's not at all like "Sleepless in Seattle", even though the girls may find the comparisons; romantic movie, comedic, boy gets girl, and tricky. But "Sleepless in Seattle" had Rosie O'Donnell, but this one has CARS and RACES! It's not everyday that you see a motor vehicle in a movie which plays a regular part in the movie. So, your girlfriends could say that it's a perfect movie for girls because it's romantic and girls go crazy for it, if your girlfriends say you'll enjoy it, trust her. There couldn't be anything better!This is a MUST SEE movie!
UglyToesPete Hi all, This was a cute, good little flick. The leading man Lance Valenteen (actor David Boreanaz...the one all the girls are ga-ga about) plays a fiendish Mr. Fix It who hires out his services to seduce the ex-girlfriends of his jilted clients. To seduce them, he gets priviliged information from his clients, then assaults the young lady in question with lots of charm and devasting good looks. Inevitably, they all fall hard for this whirlwind Romeo with chiseled pecs.Just when he's sure they've fallen for him, he springs on them a shower of their worst fears and displeasure coming from your boyfriend and trusted person status. Upon such devastation of their yearn for love and sex, each girl automatically calls on thieir ex-boyfriends for solace and friendship. Et voila, another fee earned for Lance.Lance however, is having doubts about his career just when he must tackle not only his biggest race event as a driver, but as Mr. Fix It too. Sophia (Alana De La Garza) is the haughty ex-girlfriend of Lance's desperate new client. Va va voom can best describe her. With talent, a beautiful flawless face, and a depth to her eye, not to mention someone ALSO thought of giving the girl a script to work for, she makes Lance fall for her! That wasn't a spoiler, what else did you expect from this flic? This is a busy film. The sequence of events actually make sense, this is not usual in a romcom, and you feel engaged. Surprisingly, this movie also attempts to say something about life and relationships and leaves the floor open for you to think what you wish.I'm a Alana De La Garza fan now.And here is the spoiler:Watch out for the last 5 minutes of the film though. This is the war of the sexes....with women usually winning these days. The lead actor's masculinity is castrated in the last five minutes.Apart from that excess, it was a fun smart flic.Cheers from Montréal.
darkprincess331 I was eager to see "Mr. Fix It" because I'm a huge David Boreanaz fan. What I got, though, was a 1-1/2 hour nap. The premise seemed enjoyable: Boreanaz is Lance Valenteen, proprietor of a business called "Mr. Fix It", where dumped men enlist his help to get their girlfriends to take them back.Among the problems with this movie are the editing, script, and acting. Although I've found Boreanaz delightful in his other film roles (with the exception of that "Crow" movie he did), this was disappointing. At times, his character was interesting and others, flat. The supporting cast reminded me of soap opera day players. I realize it wasn't a big-budget film, but some of the scene cuts and music just didn't seem right.My advice: watch at your own risk.
Mike Ryan This was presented today at the AMC theater as a surprise preview showing. The theater was full of Saturday viewers and remained that way throughout the picture. There were plenty of laughs and the storyline has an appealing plot. The guy who plays the lead, I think, used to play on "Angel" a TV series and he is very good. The girl is good too and must be new because I've never seen her in anything else. I would recommend this for a good date movie. Some of the scenes really cracked me up and the story is worth your time. It has a clever ending. My girlfriend couldn't stop talking about the guy who plays the lead, David something. He was pretty good I thought.
