A Case of You 2013


A Case of You

     Sam meets Birdie at a coffee shop where she works.  He really likes her but he isn’t making any headway in asking for a date.  He checks her Facebook page and he starts doing everything she likes to do.  He takes guitar lessons and buys a guitar, starts Judo and rock climbing, begins cooking, ballroom dancing, listening to Joan Baez and Carlos Castaneda.  He wants to be the man of her dreams. 
     Who is Birdie falling in love with if the real Sam never makes an appearance?  This is very lightweight with many characters and separate issues running along the sidelines to distract you from the fact that not much is really going on.  This film is only slightly entertaining and all this has been done so many times before.  2 ½* (This movie is so-so)

89 min, Comedy directed by Kat Coiro with Peter Dinklage, Sam Rockwell, Evan Rachel Wood, Sienna Miller, Vince Vaughn, Brendan Fraser, Justin Long, Busy Philipps.

Note:  Imdb 5.6 out of 10, 41% critic 30% audience on Rotten Tomatoes, Film Crave 1.83/4.
Special Note:  A Case of You is a Joni Mitchel
l song and the filmmakers asked for the rights to use her song in the movie but she turned them down.
