    Delightful

    Never heard of this movie-- but woke up this Sunday morning and caught it on HBO. Couldn't stop watching it-- and considering it is absolutely beautiful outside this morning, that says alot about this movie, A sweet (tho' predicatable) movie-- it was definitely worth the time. Jeremy Piven is one of the most "real" actors out there and his role here was totally believable and likeable (it is very unfortunate that Hollywood hasn't appreciated his talent more-- he really is terrific). Sherylynn Fenn did a nice job as well and there was definitely a connection between their characters.

    If you are looking for a light romantic flick for a Sunday night when there's nothing on-- or a rainy afternoon-- it's worth the rental.

    Just Write is Just Right!

    I really loved this movie. It was such an enjoyable film due to the great chemistry between the two leads. I can't seem to understand why Sherilyn Fenn isn't a huge star. She brings so much emotional honesty and depth to her roles. Anyone looking for a fun movie with good acting and romance, this is it! Great supporting cast too!

    Hallmark movie style, years before hallmark movies

    If your a Hallmark movie lover, you will love this movie. Produced 15 years before the genaric style of Hallmark it follows a basic good honest guy looking for love and on a chance meet with an up and coming star, he lies about being a screen writter rather then being tour bus driver. They both click and as the love grows you are left wondering at what point the lie is found out. A fun, clean, romatic comody all ages will enjoy.

    I can't believe I liked this flick.

    "Just Write" is a little - no, make that tiny - formula romantic comedy fluff pic full of filler with only two things going for it: Piven and Fenn. Yes, it lags and yes it's silly and predictable. However, the naive trolley-bus driver (Piven) and Hollywood rising star (Penn) do work together. Recommended for those in the mood for romantic comedy but have seen all the big ones.

    Just a fun movie!

    This is as the cover of the video says a romantic comedy. A fun movie that although it is not going to change the world gives you a moment away from the day's trials and tribulations. Isn't that the best thing that a movie can do?

    Jeremy Piven is a great comedian who can take any material and make it his, so any fan must see this movie. He and Ms. Fenn should make more movies together because their chemistry is right. This movie was made by men who have never before or since made another film. If I understand it correctly the producers are dentists who love movies and wanted to make this one based on their script.

    Rent it and share it with someone you love with popcorn.
