Everything was on the top, except the script; so welcome to the movies' deathblow. Actually, all the good elements, with all the bona fides in the world, couldn't save this movie, or any movie for that matter, from fallen down on its face without a solid script.
Simply, let's review the situation: A girl that slept with nearly 3 guys together in the same time in the name of friendship! Well, that's the definition of a prostitute in at least my dictionary. Then, it was this girl's trick to rectify 4 men she knows, what a way to do it?? And let alone the very obvious wink to us about very certain one of them as the real dad, lover, and the real deal altogether, since he was the only one who became ready to marry (boring naive scenes about that with his psychiatrist!), and the one without something compensatory to fill its life, even the one who she was pulling his tie on the door of the operation's room, so after all, this script managed well to be not only provocative when it comes to its idea, a bit fabricated as a romantic comedy, but also the worst of all: predictable. Therefore, the video's title: "Daddy Who?" Would be silly question already since the first act!
Compared to that, else matters can be slight: The rich guy loves his secretary just like that, the girlfriend of the professor forgave him easily at the end.. etc. I think that's ordinary as it was (Frederic Golchan)'s first screenplay, who was originally a producer, and his first as a director too. It was his first and last attempt, in both writing and directing, yet. And it wasn't bad at all. It was kind of favorable.
It has some wonderful time, and delicate feel. Thanks to the sensitive directing, the witty acting, the smooth cinematography, the romantic editing, and the cute music. It designed refreshing images as well; for little instance, look at Kimberly's intro moving on wheels, floating like a fantasy. And in so many moments, it reminded me of the 1960s' polished romantic comedies, especially one named (Boys' Night Out - 1962).
The 4 guys were fine, maybe too fine here in specific. (Gabrielle Anwar) who I was obsessed about when I was about 20-year-old (after passionate love story with Meg Ryan!) deals with the matter perfectly; she's a very good actress, truly spontaneous, and magically attractive that the major studios in Hollywood must miss. At the start, I thought of modern (Audrey Hepburn), but she turned out to be wholly another flavor. A great deal of the movie's romantic sense relied on the chemistry between her and the 4 actors. If only with another script!
I pity that all of the movie's clear cleverness had been founded on a shaky ground. So it looked eventually like the tower of Pisa in Italy; lovely but leaning.
