Love the idea for this story, but they missed some opportunities. Loved that Damon Waynes Jr was the lead because he made this enjoyable to watch. Sure his story line - dating 1000 women is quirky and seems unrealistic, but that's what makes this a fun, cheesy flick. However...like dating websites -this film over promised and under-delivered. Which is why I gave this six stars. I couldn't relate to Susan (Rachael Leigh Cook). There's no way I'd drive a car with the cassette stuck in the deck for that many years- too unrealistic.

This story has so much potential and it didn't deliver. I wish they would've taken the time to fully develop the characters and their story lines and to wrap things up a little more realistically. Too many missing links and opportunities to really hit this one home. I also wish that women would've directed this film. There are a few mothers & daughters in the film business - and they should have worked on it together.

I "Almost Love" this movie- it's staying in the "Yeah I liked it" group for me. It's slow and easy to follow and I was curious to how this would end. I'm really disappointed that Haley (Zoe Chao) is conflicted about her feelings about Scott James (Christopher Gray), he's 17. It doesn't seem realistic for someone in her mid-30s to fall for a high school kid. Just seems out of touch for me. But I am glad she pushed him away and he was mature enough to meet another girl. I liked that Cammy (Michelle Buteau) tried to give Henry (Colin Donnell) a chance, though I wish they would've taken their time to explore his story line and the real reasons why he's homeless and how this could be addressed - as opposed to focusing on whether or not a self-respecting woman would sleep with a homeless man. The relationship between Adam (Scott Evans) and Marklin (Augustus Prew) was the most realistic for me. I thought their messy, conflicted relationship with secrets and insecurities was easy to relate to.

Sure this film is a bit predictable, and a bit unrealistic for a real racer. However, I thought they did good job delivering their message in the end. This is perfect for young girls to watch with their dads.
