CrimsonTide4 · #3 04-24-2003, 10:22 PM

I watched the 2 minute trailer and it was a good one.

Steeltrap · #4 04-25-2003, 12:39 PM

This movie sounds like something nice to see. We all need, if we live in cities where this type of film will be released, to support it.

CrimsonTide4 · #5 04-25-2003, 12:45 PM

Hopefully they are just releasing it in these cities as a test market and then releasing it nationally like they did with Pandora's Box.

I won't be able to see it when it first comes out, but once I do I will come and fill you in.

zetafg · #6 04-25-2003, 12:58 PM

I like the majority of the cast.

Too bad it's not showing in NYC. I'd definitely go and see it!

I Hope it does well in those cities so it can premier all over.

CrimsonTide4 · #7 04-25-2003, 02:20 PM

I was really surprised to NOT see NYC or LA as a city that it will be showing in at premiere.

Rain Man · #8 04-26-2003, 01:35 PM

Should this movie ever hit my town, I will go to the theaters to check it out--I have been waiting until most of the flix go on DVD to make it to the dollar cinemas before I see them.

This ought to be good

CrimsonTide4 · #9 05-23-2003, 04:15 PM

I just came from seeing this movie and it was GREAT!! Not ghetto @ all. . . I loved it. It had LOL scenes. This will definitely be something you add to the video collection.

I want to liken it to elements of some previous movie but none come to mind.

I hope they release it nationwide so you won't be deprived.

Oh and laaaaaaaaaaaaaaadies, ALLEN PAYNE ALLEN PAYNE is still looking yummy as hell. HE was TOPLESS too.

This movie dealt with the perceptions some folks have about turning 30 -- relationships, careers, weight, etc. and how they deal with them. It helped me prepare.

CrimsonTide4 · #10 05-25-2003, 07:34 PM

Just visited the website and saw that it heads to NY on June 6, but no word on specific website.

I don't remember your thread at all, but I guess so.

When it was supposed to be released last year, where was it released because I know I never saw it.

They made it seem from the e-mail list I am on, that it was brand new, but from what I read about Vanessa Middleton on the movie's site, it took another year after it was made for it to get picked up for distribution.
