One Small Hitch (2013) Reviews

• Very silly, thoroughly enjoyable.

  readwin2014-07-02

  This is not a dreadfully original story, it is not worthy of an Oscar, it is rather stereotypical, and yet leaves you with a smile on your face wondering why they couldn't have made it half an hour longer. I wish I could tell you why, but I can't. I loved all the performances, and the script was funny, but kept itself on the believable side of silly. I doubt many critics are going to rave about it, and the movie snobs will hate it. It will not make many top lists and very few people will buy the DVD, so that they can watch it 15 times, but if you are looking to finish off an evening with a movie that sends you to bed smiling, this is an excellent pick.

• Fun and entertaining

  I really liked this movie--I had to watch it twice. I originally intended to only watch the first 20 minutes and then save the rest for later, but it got started right away with lots of silly moments, had to go ahead at watch the whole thing. The story was super cute and funny, and poked a lot of fun at real relationships--both with lovers, as well as with friends and parents. Obviously with a rom-com you're expecting to go in a certain direction, but that is part of the deal!! I thought the cast was fantastic, and I'd love to see Aubrey Dollar in more movies. The only drawbacks had to do with suspending your disbelief about time and commitments... and would grown up people really do that?? I feel like in real life the risk would just be too obvious, but that's why we like stories--we can 'experience' things that are a little unrealistic in the name of imagination and fun.

• Sweet small hitch

  Maybe the hitch is not sweet, but the movie itself is. You could argue about the characters a bit I reckon. But I really do like the movie, even though it has clichés (which feed into the sweet notion of it of course) and is predictable as it gets. Still the actors can pull off the obvious and work with it. Since this is a romantic comedy and even the poster/cover art is pretty much revealing, we do know where this is heading, but the ride to get there has to be fun. And if you let yourself into it, than this ride can be a lot of fun. While not the best movie you've seen or will see, this is pretty decent indeed

• One Small Hitch Hooked Me

  This lighthearted "chick flick" was wonderful escapism entertainment. The story has probably been done before in different ways, but this one, due to its humor and cast, kept my attention and pulled me into the story. Josh's best friend was Molly's older brother during high school. Molly was always "the little sister." How each of them viewed the other drastically changed, even against their will, as the two "pretended" to be engaged to make Josh's dying father happy. The relationship evolved with humor utilizing miscommunication and even tackled the families' two opposite religions trying to meld together: staunch Irish Catholic and Jewish. Molly (Aubrey Dollar) was sweet, cute, and adorable...the all-American girl next door. Josh (Shane McRae) was the typical hot player, never wanting more than a bit of fun with women. The chemistry between the Dollar and McRae was believable and the families were stereotypical to the point of comical. Although "One Small Hitch" was predictable, it was an absolute pleasure to watch. It was endearing, lighthearted, sweet, and just plain fun. This was a perfect film to see with girlfriends.

• Surprisingly funny

  This movie was actually really cute! I love the whole premise of them being childhood friends. It was a little corny but surprisingly really funny and sweet! Definitely a feel good movie, the leads and supporting cast were so much like everyday normal people, I liked that it felt real. I'm very happy that I watched it, although the story line was like something I feel has been done, the way that they made everything play out kept it interesting. The lead male was really funny, I liked his comic timing. The lead female was quirky and funny as well! I finished it with a smile on my face! I would definitely recommend this movie, it's a cute chick flick, fun for a girls night in.
