Unhitched - ACE Train Movie Review

Soon after causing some ripples in the publishing world with his first novel, emerging writer Olly Pickering wanders wayward and is forced to accept a dead-end position as a lowly assistant. Though it initially appears as if he has entered into a downward spiral from which he isn't likely to emerge anytime soon, Olly finds his luck taking a turn for the better upon meeting the lovely Sarah at the engagement party of a close friend. After discovering that Sarah is in fact the fiance of his philandering friend and the pair have requested that Olly serve as the best man in the upcoming wedding, the dejected writer determines to convince the unsuspecting Sarah that she is about to marry the wrong man. With a little help from his wacky roommate Murray, Olly may be able to put the breaks on the impending nuptials and prove his undying love for Sarah before she makes a mistake she is likely to regret for the rest of her life.

This was a typical, run-of-the-mill romantic comedy. There wasn't anything particularly different or original about the plot or sequence of events. You could see the story unfold from miles away, so there weren't any surprises. I did like the chemistry between the characters and thought Seth Green did a respectable job as an Englishman. There were some amusing scenes that made me laugh (and cringe), but not enough for me to really like the film enough to recommend it. The ending was no different than the rest of the film - predictable and overused.

I typically watch movies on Monday, Wednesday and Friday while riding the ACE Train from Tracy to Santa Clara. The opinions expressed are those of me, myself and I.
