Coming & Going is an irreverent romantic comedy that poses the question: How far would you go to capture the heart of the one you love? Lee (Rhys Darby) is a young, skilled OBGYN who lacks confidence when it comes to talking to women outside his successful medical practice. A minor injury temporarily lands him in a wheelchair and it is at that precise time that he meets his dream girl Alex (Sasha Alexander). Convinced she's only paid attention to him because he's in that chair, he stays in it to win her affections well after his injury has healed. Coming & Going is about love and the extreme things people do for it.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Dr. Lee (Rhys Darby) is a transplanted Brit and an OB-GYN working in the Los Angeles area. At work, he is very confident that he can provide excellent care to his patients and good bedside manner, too. But, away from the office or hospital, he is very shy around women. He makes blind dates and then becomes a no-show. His aunt, Irma, lives next door and worries very much about his future romantic happiness. One day, he has a fall and is confined to a wheelchair for a week. Wouldn't you know, a beautiful lady, Alex (Sasha Alexander) accidentally stumbles over him on a sidewalk, not watching where she is going, and a conversation ensues. For the first time in a great while, Lee can actually talk to a woman without hesitation, mostly because Alex takes an interest in him. Soon, they make arrangements to meet again but although Irma asks him to tell Alex the truth, Lee only feels confident that he has Alex's attention when he is seemingly disabled. This charade goes on quite awhile, with Alex admitting she wants to "date" Lee. Now what will he do? Meanwhile, Alex's sister and brother-in-law, a character on a children's show, are pregnant but is the baby the husband's or is the fetus' father the one "afternoon stand" wife had with a co-worker? Here are some problems two couples will have to work out indeed! This is a sweet and funny romcom that should please fans. Yes, it has a small bit of risqué material but, overall, is quite wonderful. (There is one scene involving a Chihuahua that will upset viewers, push the fast forward button). Darby is very funny, resembling Dudley Moore, and Alexander makes a beautiful love interest. All of the other cast members do fine work, too. This viewer also loved the nice costumes, sets, funny situations and well-paced direction. Having trouble finding any romantic comedies at the theater? Stroll over to the nearest DVD store and try to locate this one.

I simply adore this!!!I read somewhere that this film was completed in less than a month? This is unbelievable when you take into account the high quality of the finished product! Coming & Going is such a well written movie, with an amazing & hilarious cast to compliment it further! I laughed pretty much from beginning to end, & I love it when something happens in a movie that you just don't see coming!!!Rhys & Sasha were both outstanding in their roles, & I loved seeing the short cameo appearance from Edoardo!!Thumbs up to all involved!!*HIGHLY RECOMMEND*

Very cute movie, lighthearted, somewhat adult in nature (mind the little ones - you might have to explain some things!). Funny and sweet in the right places. I was quite surprised to learn that this was a 100% indie project - it has the look and feel of a standard-budget cute summer romcom. The actors are not necessarily well known, though Sasha Alexander's name might be familiar to more people now she's got a hit show, but they're comedy genius. Fionnula Flanagan is terrific as the nosy aunt who lives next door, Rhys Darby is perfect in the role of the guy who just can't get it together enough to make it with a girl, and Alexander is perfect in her role as the girl who's given up on guys (but not completely). Definitely recommend this movie to anyone (though like I said, mind the little ones, as there are definitely a few, um, "adult" moments).

Rhys Darby's performance as Lee is very good in its believability of character and comic quirkiness. He convincingly plays a doctor who cannot seem to attract women and his shyness in putting himself out there to meet women seems genuine.He meets Alex (Sasha Alexander) almost by accident: she nearly runs him over in a parking garage. He's been attracted to her for quite some time but never had the courage to even speak to her. The lovely Sasha Alexander subtly shows her acting chops here. Even the movie goer is convinced she finds him interesting because he's in a wheelchair and he cannot convince himself she's attracted to the person inside of him.This is the perfect rainy day movie, or a lighthearted romantic comedy perfect for those Friday evenings at home. Don't miss it.
