Movie Reviews of Fair Game
Movie Review: So close to a good movie but...
Summary: 2 Stars
This could have been a great movie. Excellent plot ideas, an experienced cast, good cinematography. The direction though... Gina Torres is a good actress but for a moment I thought her horribly stillted performance was the sign of, "Oh she's just starting out." then I looked at the publishing date and realised that it was the director's fault. This had all the right elements to make a great romantic comedy but then the director dropped the ball and lost it down a sewer drain.
So many parts of this move did not mesh properly, the side plot ideas were good but attached to the movie like trying to add multiple wigs to an irish wolfhound. The twists and turns of the plot were either presented as so unexpected it was, "Where did that come from and what was the point." or so badly telegraphed as, "Why are the characters surprised about this?"
Michael Whaley, either go back to film school for more practice in a less damaging environment or please don't direct again. Lots of experience as an actor does not a director make, particularly when you act in and direct your first movie outing.
Watch this move for an evening's light entertainment nothing more. If however you are a film student you should definitely watch this as an example of how micromanaging good talent will mess up your movie.
Summary of Fair Game
The urban romantic comedy FAIR GAME written and directed by Michael Whaley provides a universal look at the world of relationships and honesty. Hip smart and sexy FAIR GAME takes an amusing look at how people play games when it comes to feelings and emotions and how at times they are crazy enough to think it is the right thing to do.Michael (Whaley) and Stacey (Torres) are co-workers who are unexpectedly forced to become roommates. Through all of the office politics jealous friends and nosey landlords the couple finds one another hard to resist. The rules of love have just been rewritten.System Requirements:Running Time 85 MinFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY Rating: NR UPC: 634991282222Comedy DVD Video
