User Reviews

growing on me

I love David Boreanaz, so of course I simply bought Mr. Fix It. The first time I watched it, I realized there may have been a reason it went straight to DVD. I watched it the next day, and I actually like it. It's pretty cute, and has some great one-liners. While it's predictable, and kind of like a backwards Hitch, it's a simply cute romantic comedy with some twists and turns. David Boreanaz is great in a role very different from Angel and Special Agent Seeley Booth, and really gets the opportunity to show off some comedic acting. I recommend this if you're looking for something cute and fun to spend a night.
