Review: A ‘Boyfriend’ that has plenty of charm

Romantic - comedy formula "boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy gets girl back", which has been done so often hard to invent a new way to keep it clean.




Therefore, to cheer for Utah filmmaker Daryn Tufts, which revives a cliché romantic comedy involving a lot of spin and his wit made-in-Utah movie "A friend of my girlfriend."



S e (Christopher Gorham) is a writer who is stuck in the heat. His editor (nice portrait of Carol Kane), tells a romantic novel, is unremarkable, and he needs to write their own life experiences. The problem is not so lucky, a bit of love and source material from which to engage.



As well as those ready to give up writing, words of encouragement to the Jesse (Alyssa Milano), a coffee shop with Cook proverbial heart of gold. Jesse E. with her date and gets it. Registration lists, and other Jesse Guy Troy (Michael Landes), suave advertising executive. Troy also asks Jesse, Jesse, and said that she loves.



What happens next is a series of parallel data. Jesse and thus have a picnic on the baseball diamond (Spring Park at the mobile to be specific), then Jesse and Troy have a nice dinner at a restaurant. E Jesse gets to listen to piano music Tavernacle, then Troy Jesse impress with a trip to the roof of the Wells Fargo Center. And so on.



What is a girl to do? The answer turns out to be a bit more complicated than we think. Tufts, who wrote and directed, pulls a clever narrative twist and a sweet final reel, which will cause it to reconsider everything that has happened before. Fortunately, Tufts (familiar face from TV as a spokesman for the Utah Questar Gas "," Thermwise "program) provides a very good mood, so that the seemingly attractive.



Tufts also enjoys a solid chemistry of its leadership. Milano offers the perfect combination of courage and sex appeal, making the idea of juggling two guys without violating their hearts as completely credible. Gorham (now cast in a series of U.S. intelligence "in a latent") is a humble, generous, self-criticism as ea Landes ("Last Chance Harvey") gives the surprising success of the smooth application.



There also had to rotate the beautiful Beau Bridges as the kindly Uncle Jesse, and Tom Lenk (who splash "Buffy the Vampire Slayer") as a slacker brother Jesse, who has his own subplot involving public ridicule, that is willing to chewing gum - Commercial pitchman.



Due to the length, the filmmakers take to revive the romantic comedy these days, the gross-out humor, pratfalls undignified, it will be very easy for the quieter charms' My girlfriend's friend "stray shuffle. But the quieter charms will bring a smile to the audience and this movie is worth a look.
