My Girlfriend's Boyfriend
When Ethan arrives at the airport just in time to declare his undying love for his girlfriend, love appears to have conquered all. The scene, however, is really the ending of Ethan's novel, which his agent calls "unrealistic." Ethan soon meets a waitress, Jesse, and falls in love with her despite her growing devotion to Troy, a charming businessman. But the line between reality and fiction becomes increasingly blurred.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
You won't be disappointed!
If you don't like this, we can't be friends.
There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.
Sup, people! I watched the movie while waiting to my medical appointment. Dare I say: these movie sucks like my cancer. Actually, if I had to choose between this movie and the latter, the dilemma would be good. The movie is, essentially, about a really great whore who tries to decide which of the two goofies she is going to settle down for good (she is a "poor waitress"). Her dilemma is solved through empirical experience (she secretly hook up with both of them). The first thing that naturally came to my mind was: what if it was the opposite? (a dude choosing between 2 chicks). I went through 3/4 of this film. "Luckily", I was called to my consult. I told my doctor about what i had just seen and he became worried that this movie might have worsen my disease. PS - also, this movie may have caused temporary dick detachment.
When it came to the end I was actually hoping that it would end the way it did... and then the nice refreshing twist made me smack myself upside the head. How did I miss it? I don't know, but I'm glad I did, because it made the movie worth watching.-I thoroughly enjoyed it and I don't say that at all about rom-coms.-There were some issues I had with the ADR and sound mixing, it was a little distracting.-Finally a recently made movie, based in Utah that didn't throw the Mormon faith down your throat.-The characters were believable and worth caring about.-A very nice, fresh start to bringing quality film back to Utah after the horrible destruction done by Kurt Hale and the Halestorm (lack of) Entertainment BS they put out.
This is a strange title for a movie and I was curious to see where it would take us. Milano stars and is also the producer, so somewhat a vanity project but she is very good in it.Alyssa Milano is Jesse Young, working as a waitress at a small café in Utah. She is bright and friendly, and enters into small-talk banter easily with the customers.Christopher Gorham is Ethan Reed, "writer", but having trouble getting published. We see a meeting with his publisher and she tells him he needs to come up with better ideas.When Ethan is in Jesse's café she notices him writing in a journal, they strike up a conversation, he goes away with her phone number and permission to call it.But just after he leaves Michael Landes as Troy Parker comes into the café and also strikes up a conversation with Jesse, and also leaves with her number. Troy is more handsome, wealthier, and seemingly more attractive in all areas than is Ethan.So much of the running time of the movie is witnessing Jesse dating and starting to fall in love with two men, Ethan and Troy, and she seems to like them equally. Quite a quandary which is worked out very well in the final scenes. My wife and I enjoyed this movie, a bit better than its IMDb rating would suggest.MAJOR SPOILERS: In fact Troy did not exist at all. Ethan was the only one dating Jesse. After Ethan's meeting with his publisher (Carol Kane) he decided to use his own experiences but write in a more interesting character, and he came up with Troy. So as Ethan and Jesse go about, doing things, and deepening their relationship, we see that played out as Troy and Jesse, the story of his new book which, when he is finished, becomes his first published work. Jesse however was reluctant to commit to Ethan, a great guy, because she knew he wanted a family but she cannot have children, a fact that broke up her first marriage. But Ethan assures her adopting children will be fine, he is committed to her. They end up happily ever after.
Wife and I picked this movie at random to watch on Valentines Day, never having heard of it. We were pleasantly surprised, in more than one way.I wouldn't say it was perfect, it was a tad cheesy in parts. But overall it was charming, funny, and refreshingly very clean...nobody sleeping around or bad language that I can remember. And Alyssa Milano is easy on the eyes.And the twist at the end was very creative...as surprising as anything M. Night Shyamalan ever did. My wife can usually see movie plots miles away, but was totally blindsided by this one.
