One Small Hitch

Molly and Josh, her brothers best friend, are on the same flight home to attend a family wedding. On the plane Josh learns his father is terminally ill and his fathers only regret is he never got to meet the girl Josh would someday marry. To make his dad happy, Josh tells his dad that he has met that girl, and it is Molly. The news gets out and Molly and Josh have to pretend to be engaged for both families. So far it sounds like typical Romantic Comedy blather, but it is so much more. The dialog is brilliant. The "Oh no you didn't" "Oh no he didn't" "Oh yes he did" scene I watched four times before continuing to the end of the movie. After reaching the end I immediately watched the movie again from the start. The performance from all the actors is a pleasure, from the facial expressions of Molly's sister in law to the scene with Molly's adorable infant nephew. If you want to laugh, watch this movie. If you want to cry, watch this movie. If you haven't teared up by the end of the movie, keep watching for the real end of the movie. There were two scenes that were unpleasant. One scene had Josh arranging sex with a complete stranger while waiting for his flight. She was a large, unattractive, aggressive black woman with hair shorter than your carpet. The second scene had Josh lusting after a black woman whose hair was a two foot stove pipe column with a sage brush top. The point being made here was that Josh was not merely a player, but a pig that jumped everything with a pulse. The scene with Josh having sex with a ninety year old, four hundred pound man didn't make it into the movie. After four viewings, I had to edit these two scenes out of the movie. Now the movie is perfect.

Really entertaining for the movie it is. The family members are fun and the two leads are enjoyable and have quite a bit of chemistry. Great afternoon movie you'll enjoy. The story has enough sweet moments and funny ones, as well, to keep you smiling.

I expected this to be another throwaway, pass-the-time movie and I was quite pleased. There were actually funny moments and even a LOL or two, which for me is unusual in recent movies. The romance story wasn't smooth and straight line like so many TV movies, but it was sloppy and got ugly here and there, but in a good way. Sure it ended where we expected, but getting there wasn't always predictibl Aubrey Dollar as Molly was a little quirky and mostly upbeat and fun. The acting was all pretty decent.

There is no denying the plot is a straight forward love movie, but isn't that why we watch these kinds of movies. There was nothing really surprising about the storyline, but I thought the lead characters did a great job throughout. I loved watching their chemistry both as friends and then as their love grew for each other and this drove me to watch it a few times in one week without getting bored. I liked some of the comedy moments in the film and felt that the lead characters had got this right. Even though you can see Josh is a ladies man it is nice to see him develop into what every woman wants, a 'knight', and the prop guys did a good job of turning Molly from being a scruffy student type character into an attractive young woman If you want a feel good movie that ticks the romcom box adequately then this could float your boat.

This is the type of movie with a weird start that I stop watching after the first few minutes. However, I couldn't find anything I wanted to watch so I stuck with it. It was similar to a Hallmark movie. You know how it is going to end, its the journey it takes you through that is kind of enjoyable and funny.

Ugh. Just ANOTHER story of the guy sleeping with other women while the girl likes him, pretends it doesn't bother her, but pines for him until he notices her. So sick of the stories in which the man sleeps around and the girl is a doormat.
