Somebody Marry Me (2013) User Reviews

A Comedic Gem

[anthonyspadaccini · 9/10 · 12 July 2013]

I had the opportunity to see Somebody Marry Me at the Manhattan Film Festival on June 30th. It's the first single-shot romantic comedy in cinematic history. Not only is it a technical achievement, but it is also a touching and hilarious film - a perfect blend of witty dialogue, dry humor, and physical comedy. Ray Abruzzo delivers a top-notch performance as our well-meaning, but hopeless hero - a man who's just trying to keep his sanity amidst the chaos around him. The story, written by director John Asher, excels in its simplicity. Somebody Marry Me is easily one of the best films I've seen this year, a comedic gem destined to become a classic.

A Must See!

This film is a must see for all! I saw Somebody Marry Me at the Cinema At the Edge festival and absolutely loved it! It is no surprise that this film is gaining lots of attention (and rightfully so). It's not just the fact that it was done in a single shot that makes it special - it is every element blended together from the cinematography to the directing, writing, and acting. From the lead role to every supporting character, the cast is a wonderful and eclectic ensemble of actors who made me and the other audience members laugh while we went along on this journey with them. Additionally, lead actor Ray Abruzzo has the rare ability to be endearing, heartbreaking, and funny all in the same moment. Every aspect of this film keeps the audience rooting for the characters until the very end. Great accomplishment by all involved and definitely well worth your time. Go see it and go support it!

Funniest movie!

No spoilers here. I saw this movie at the Cinema At the Edge Film Festival this weekend and it was so funny and so sweet!!! I loved it. I got absorbed into the the movie and lost track of time. It was completely engaging. Ray Abruzzo has the best facial expressions! All of the actors were superb. There are no lulls in the story. It just keeps moving forward. I can't wait to see this on a big screen somewhere.

I also just read that the film received the Audience Choice Best Feature Film Award at that festival. What a great achievement for the cast and crew.
