I’m With Lucy 2002

     Lucy will be getting married in one hour.  Her best friend wants to hear all about what led up to this moment.  Lucy tells her about five men she had blind dates with over the past year.  She started blind dating after her boyfriend broke up with her loudly and embarrassingly in an elevator full of people!!  She thought he was the one and they would last in their relationship??  She dated Doug, Gabriel, Bobby, Barry and Luke.  There were many ups and downs in her new relationships.  Some dates start of terribly and end well.  Others are just the opposite, start out well and end terribly.  The big question is, which one of the five men will Lucy marry?

     I didn’t know which man Lucy would choose?  I thought her original boyfriend was pompous, unfeeling, egotistical and socially inept!!  Lucy or any other woman didn’t deserve that kind of a breakup.  This film made me very GLAD that my life is not anything like Lucy’s life!!  It was funny that Lucy’s parents don’t have filters and they talk about her as a child and teenager.  3 ½* (I liked this movie)

Special Note:  Filmed in Miami, Florida and Manhattan, New York.  There are some mistakes in this film.  Barry unbuttons the top few buttons of his shirt, in the next scene they’re all buttoned again?  In a cab ride, Jo is riding in the middle but she climbs out last, behind both other women?  Doug is proposing a toast and Lucy is holding her glass, the next scene the glass in on the table and Lucy reaches for it.  Lucy and Luke are riding in Luke’s car after he picks her up.  In the shot from the front, her hair is blowing straight back.  In a scene from the side of inside the car, her hair is not blowing at all.  Lucy threw several darts at the board when she is playing with Bobby in a bar.  When the dart board is shown, only one dart is on the board?
