I Love You Too (2010)

First: I watched this movie only because of Yvonne Stragovski and Peter Dinklage. This is basically the same romantic comedy as the others in America BUT, it was fair enough. Yvonne and Peter is the best obviously, the other actors, not so much. I think they are not showing too much of they're talent. Second: The story is the same as ever, dumb guy fall in love, the girl ditto. The guy is moron, who don't know what he want in his life, until the girl breaking up with him, and go on. Happy Ending as always.

This one started out somewhat slowly, and -- as everyone seems to agree -- really got rolling when Peter Dinklage came along, but from there on I was really engrossed. Yes, some facets could have used more polishing; perhaps there were just too many characters and situations to fully flesh them all out satisfactorily, but given the genre-transcendent nature of the movie itself, it actually doesn't seem troubling to have a loose end here and there. Life is nothing if not occasionally sloppy and unpredictable.The 3 "hot chicks" (rendered in quotes by me because it's a cringe-inducing cliché, not to evoke sarcasm) were quite lovely, and Alice so much so that it was difficult to imagine Jim truly waffling over her. She was too charming for that. Still, by the time the story played out, it made at least some more sense, and Jim did win me over eventually.My one major complaint was that Jim's friend didn't explain to Alice what had really happened in the friend's place. (I'm leaving it vague to avoid spoiling it; if you've seen the movie you'll remember.) I don't understand that, and I don't understand why nobody else is complaining about it, either. Perhaps I missed something. As of now, I feel like that omission was for plot purposes, and it doesn't ring true.Aside from that, I really enjoyed this movie a lot, especially Dinklage's typical show-stealing performance and the winsome heroines. There are some really good laughs and a lot of pathos here. 8/10.

I was pleasantly surprised by this Aussie comedy when I saw it on a plane flying home to Sydney. There is a continuous tingle of surprises coming up in every scene & all the actors deliver that special warmth that comes from good movie direction and consistent acting. There is a wonderful sense of reality in the plot that shows a man who is finally able to understand how to grow up and face the fact that if he leaves his family home & his dinky-die mates he will be OK. Sure, he may need to work hard to keep the new found girlfriend's touchy-feely relationship & hit upon true love with his special girl but in the end he finds it is worth the hard yards. The part played by small person Peter Dinklage (from "Death at a Funeral"-UK & USA versions) is particularly delightful & adds a certain touch of sparkle to the whole movie. Try & see it if you can.

Overall, I enjoyed it. I actually did. I liked it for reasons that others may see as stupid, but I liked it. Beware though. There are things that just make me sigh when I think back on them...After hearing about this movie getting SO hyped up on shows like Australia's The 7pm Project I expected it to be quite half-ass, because Peter Hellier is only moderately funny when live and hype is all this film could rest on later.I'll admit, it's a bit self-serving (Hellier is the moron best friend) but his character, although a little flat for an Oscar nomination (why does everything have to be about the Oscars?!)is likable in a "What is going ON with this guy?!" sort of way.It's fairly obvious that Hellier chose all his mates to be in this film (he actually states this at a couple of times) because the 'main' guy is so dull I honestly can't remember his name or the characters' name. Terrible choice of lead, that guy flat out will not have an acting career. The LEAST they could have done was shave him down.A truly tried-and-true basic script, which is sad, but the 'little person' really brought a very dry comedic value to it that the deadhead Australian persona's portrayed bounced well off.Actually, I'm changing my mind. yes, I'm stoked that this film isn't another heart wrenching family-falling-apart-drama or Aussie-battler- with-mediocre-win-in-final-credits movie like Australia is famous for, it was a pretty vague attempt at a movie that is probably best left for Hollywood to churn out.
