bjarias AFG!!.. this film sets the bar high. There's several very good reasons why this romantic comedy is as totally enjoyable as it is... Sarah Snook.. bit.ly/134TuuA ..a rising star... and Ryan Kwanten. They are both such great actors, there are little subtle inflections and mannerisms that just cannot be taught or directed, but are the essence of a well acted performance... and in addition, they are just so well paired in this film (it's hoped they soon get together again). Working with an enormously entertaining script, you WILL laugh!! And their love-making scenes are just so totally natural and sincere. Numerous rom-com's don't come anywhere near close to being worthwhile viewing as this one. Not usually mentioned, kudos to the outstanding camera and editing crews, their exceptional work in this instance is impossible to ignore, and when its this good it makes the entire film feel totally alive. And WTF!.. its got one really choice ending.. (final ten minutes, her eyes say it all). So do yourself a huge favor, and give it a try, even though you might not be totally into the RC genre. This is a movie for adults of all ages... and btw, listening carefully, it has one of the best accompanying soundtracks in films. PS...don't wait too long before watching it again, then you'll fully come to appreciate what a truly marvelous production it is.
Raul Faust Well, I'm a 22 year old dude who really want to be a dad in a near future, so "Not Suitable For Me"'s main storyline felt quite suitable for me. Jonah is a relatively shy guy that finds out a testicle cancer, which gives him only three weeks to copulate with someone. That being said, you can imagine the problems he faces whilst trying to find anyone to be a mother. The plot is good because it has an original idea and some embarrassing moments, which is what makes this movie occasionally funny. The fun used in here isn't the laughable one, with nice jokes; the comedy is built by embarrassing situations that main characters get into. For instance, the lesbian couple scene: Jonah wants to know which of the girls he would have to have sex with, given that there is a hot one and the ugly, and instead of just asking, as he wished, he had to elaborate this question without mentioning the word 'sex'. That was a funny moment because, as a guy, it feels easy to understand what he was passing into. The quick moments involving Gus, the ingenuous housemate who wasn't able to see the couple getting along, are also funny. There are some sexy moments involving Ryan Kwanten and Sarah Snook, and I'm convinced that's why this film is R rated. Also, I wouldn't ever imagine that Kwanten was Australian; in my mind, he was just a regular American actor. It's just a shame that filmmakers didn't even approach the adoption subject, which would be quite useful, considering the number of orphan children we have all around the world. I state in advance that the ending won't be anything remarkable, as the movie also isn't, but the film as a whole is very recommended for young guys who care about this subject.
Shivam Sharma I basically liked the story. Short and very precise. Gistful with some wonderfully enacted 'awkward moments'. Entertaining as a whole. Not to forget the sensual scenes. The movie starts with a party, and then another party, and then another. I mean what better job than arranging parties and enjoying them. The female lead acted very well. She looked gorgeous too. The best part is that it's not some American cooked up XX movie with prom night( or stuff like that ) rather it has a story and delivers the message very profoundly. Somewhat on the same lines is an Bollywood movie named 'Vicky Donor'. It is great too; just in Hindi language. Go for it. Definitely not for children. Not for geeks (Dhiraj) as well. Enjoy
luke-eberhardt I enjoy a good romantic comedy once on a while.The Australian film industry hasn't done much to make a genuine, funny or exceptional film in the genre, example, "I Love You Too" and "Any Questions For Ben".But hearing good things about this film drew me to it, and as a romantic comedy or not it works. Its the third film Ryan Kwantan has made in Australia for three years now (after Red Hill and Griff The Invisible). Its the debut feature for Oscar nominated director Peter Templeman.The Story is about a playboy; Jonah(Ryan Kwantan) who finds out on unusual circumstances that he has testicular cancer, This means he's unable to father children properly after surgery. So when his sperm sample fails to freeze he decides he quickly needs to have a child in 4 weeks before he can have surgery. Kwantan will always seem to entertain me on any level throughout his career. But I must mention actress Sarah Snook really steals the show here proving she's someone to have a high profile in the future. The film is actually really funny and charming and will be able to beat any Rom Com I'll see for a while. The rest of the cast is really good along with the character development and smart script. Its one film I do highly recommend people to see, You'll get what you want! 4/5
