Highly Overrated But Still Good

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

I thought that she shouldn't choose the one who looks like her (in past, marks, circumstances.. etc) because this may be a mutual narcissism. You're just looking for the one who is relatively differing from you, having whatever attracts you (so the positive attracts the negative in physics). In brief we fall in love – forever this time ! – with whoever completes us, and maybe all of that applies to the character of the intellectual very patient first date regarding that he tolerated (Lucy) in her worst states ever, didn't take advantage of her, and above all he has virtues she doesn't have as he learns from her too ! The script avoided him as the winner of Lucy's heart whether because she didn't fall in love with him or to make sure that this is one character that turned into a better person because of her, unlike her relationships with all the rest of the men/dates whence she was the one who was influenced by them. The movie itself was super fun as a great new plot, or as an engaging performance from everybody especially from (Monica Potter) who's so lovely and sensitive. Strange that a lot of people say that she is the young copy of (Julia Roberts) or that she is doing the kind of roles that (Meg Ryan) done !! Well, they're all mistaken and all of their so-called reviews is just pure crap ! She is on her own, like no other but unfortunately having the bad luck all over her career which I think that it had TV works and independent movies more than any Hollywood flicks.Anyway, although I believe that there is no rules in Love but I've always thought that this lead didn't make the right choice, like she selected herself but in a manly copy ! And believe me on the long run that's not a good thing to do. Certainly, I "wasn't" with Lucy in this !P.S: if you're thinking like me that (Lucy) made the wrong choice. Please E-mail me.

There is no purpose in this movie. Maybe it's just shot for entertainment but i cannot say they succeeded in doing that.This movie just addresses some teen girls who search for the famous "Right Guy"."While I was watching the movie life just stopped for me, I completely forgot my identity and I felt like I was Lucy instead. I felt I am not capable of choosing any of those five men and i felt I gotta get away. So I turned my player off and I returned to my real life. So tragic, isn't it?.."

I loved Monica Potter in 'The Very Thought of You,' and was excited to see this 2002 romantic comedy starring the actress. Like 'The Very Thought of You,' 'I'm With Lucy' has a wacky premise: show the audience five different guys' dates with one girl, and hint that she'll marry one of them before the movie's over. It almost sounds like a concept for a reality show, and maybe it would have made a better tv show than a movie.The storytelling mechanism (a little snippet of each of the five dates, then the cycle begins again) is gutsy, and I was intrigued by the idea. However, somewhere during all those dates, we lose track of who Lucy really is... She's drunk in one, and in all the others, seems strangely affected by the man she's with. She's a bit too chameleon-like for me to relate to, I guess.The guys are all interesting... I especially liked John Hannah as Doug, though I may be biased since I adored him in Sliding Doors. The others are good, nothing horrible about their performances.I think the main problem was the script. I kept cringing at the lines, which made the actors appear as if they were trying so hard to make this movie work that they didn't have any fun. But, as I was reminded by someone the other day, good actors can't save a movie -- they can only elevate it. I think Monica Potter and the other's elevated 'I'm With Lucy', but alas, they couldn't save it.I do look forward to Monica's next foray into the genre. She can be fun to watch if given the right script and support.

I was expecting a run of the mill romantic comedy with flat characters and cliches..but I was pleasantly surprised to see the opposite. The story follows Lucy who goes on 5 dates over the course of the year after being dumped by her 'perfect' boyfriend. I was impressed by how the story was presented with all 5 dates simulataneously, and yet it was not confusing or choppy. Each scene transitioned well into the next and I felt it helped to make better judgements of each character with them all being fresh in your mind.I was originally drawn to this film because of John Hannah and Anthony LaPaglia, and both indeed gave excellent performances, but I went away being struck by Henry Thomas. His portrayal of Barry was refreshingly sweet and witty. Monica Potter may resemble Julia Roberts in voice and appearance, but I find her to be much more interesting and entertaining to watch. (I recommend another of her films, The Very Thought of You)Overall, the movie is funny and touching, and more original than most romantic comedies out there. Slightly predictable, but I was very happy with Lucy's decision in the end...I wanted that ending from the moment of the greetings of each of date.
