Simply Irresistible (1999)

One of my all time favorites.

If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

Good concept, poorly executed.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

I'm a sucker for romantic comedies. And I'm a bigger fan of Sarah Michelle Gellar/Prinze so maybe I'm a little biased when it comes to this movie.Okay, so there are some pretty big flaws. But compared to most "chick flick" romantic comedies released these past couple years, Simply Irresistible is just simply much more enjoyable. The plot is simple, (wow, I need to use a thesaurus) but somehow it brings out the more romantic part in me. We've got these two beautiful actors, a magic crab, and voilà! They fall in love. Not all movies have to be complex and "deep" in order to be enjoyable and this movie proves just that. Light, fun, fairytale romance. What girl wouldn't say "awwwweh" to that?

I really loved this movie so it really surprised me to see so many people who had a problem with it. It is just the cutest chick flick with great humor. I think the acting was done so well and the sets did well for the movie. Sarah Michelle Gellar did great in the movie as the struggling chief and Sean Patrick Flannery who plays the guy who just cant figure out whats going on.I hate that this movie is so underrated and I still don't understand why, its my favorite romantic comedy.The Chick flick element is great so all girls and some men should love the great acting and the range of emotions that all the characters go through as the emotions are the key and main element of the movie.9/10

I don't think anyone could claim that Simply Irresistible is an intellectual masterpiece. However, it is a charming little romance, with plenty of eye candy and a little bit of magic.The plot itself is pretty standard, and the film doesn't dwell much on explanation, which is probably just as well, since it would only suffer by making the audience think too much. It's better not to ask whether the crab is magical, or why Sarah Michelle Gellar cooks in strappy tank tops. Instead, the film asks you to just go along for the ride and watch its two leads (an adorable Gellar and a quirky Sean Patrick Flanery) find each other and fall in love in a fantasy New York.While this film doesn't have much in the way of substance, its cotton candy fluff will appeal to the closet romantic in its audience.

This movie had a terrible plot, bad camera work and horrible production design. BUT having said that, the main actor (Sarah Michelle Gellar). Did a spectacular job of being able to pull off a remarkable performance in the worst case scenario of movie making. She was able to sustain her reputation in the entertainment industry and did not let this movie become an undoing of her professional career merely just an experience which she has learned from. The Director and Producers were seriously wrong for thinking they could pull of a movie with such a little attention and compassion for it. If they took the time to edit the script re shoot a few scenes especially the final dinner scene with the fog (i mean that was cheap), and worked on the sets, this movie could have been great. But as it is, the only thing that was good about this film was the performance of the main actor Sarah Michelle Gellar, and if she wasn't in it, this movie could be named worst movie ever in 1999.
