User Reviews

where is the romance??

The movie is supposed to be a romantic comedy but ironically someone cast Andrew Walker for the lead and he CAN'T do romance. he has no spark or chemistry with his female lead no matter how good she is. I have seen him in other romance movies with really good female leads and it is always the same..no chemistry or spark. lets face it, he just can't act.
