Movie Review: I'm With Lucy DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
It takes a few scenes to get into I'm with Lucy, with its broad sense of humor meshed with a quieter, more introspective view on dating, but once things gel a bit, it almost never misses a beat. It's the second film by independent filmmaker Jon Sherman (Breathing Room), working with first-time screenwriter Eric Pomerance's script, but it feels like the work of more seasoned veterans, with a good balance of storytelling and character development that pays off quite well during the film's more romantic moments. Above and beyond all else, it's really the cast that shines in this one, with solid casting in each respective role, and, of course, Potter sparkles in her first starring role, hopefully the first of many.
So the next time you're in the video store and in the mood for a romantic comedy, take a look for I'm with Lucy, for a colorful and somewhat touching formula flick that will remind you of some of the best of Julia, and not just because of Potter. A very pleasant surprise on all counts.

No Description Available.Genre: Feature Film-Comedy
Rating: R

Media Type: DVD
After being unexpectedly dumped by her dream boyfriend, Lucy (Monica Potter, Along Came a Spider) wants to hide away in her apartment--but her friends set her up with a series of blind dates: a shy entomologist (John Hannah, Sliding Doors), a sensual playwright (Gael Garcia Bernal, Y Tu Mamá También), a hunky doctor (David Boreanaz, Angel), a self-centered baseball player (Anthony LaPaglia, Lantana), and a bickering businessman (Henry Thomas, All the Pretty Horses). We know she ends up marrying one of these five guys; trying to figure out which one, as the dates unfold in flashbacks, makes the movie engaging--up to a point. The script loses focus and Potter, though pretty, is too bland to sustain interest (though it should be said that she shows more flair in I'm with Lucy than in her previous romantic comedy efforts, such as the laughably bad Head Over Heels). --Bret Fetzer
