슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Sweeney and Powell could do wonders with a better script, something that makes more use of the way they grin at each other like they ate knives for lunch. She슬롯사이트™s skilled at layered insincerity; he specializes in smirky, put-on machismo, shooting the camera a horrifically funny tongue waggle. Here, their performances get bullied around by the insistent pop soundtrack. One genuinely tender scene involves Bea crooning a peppy Top 40 hit to steady Ben슬롯사이트™s nerves. But she only gets in a few quiet a cappella bars before Gluck cranks the original at an earsplitting volume 슬롯사이트� are you not entertained!? 슬롯사이트� and, for good measure, blares it again at the end over some riotous behind-the-scenes karaoke. You wonder if he spent more time on the closing credits than the actual film.

슬롯 머신 사이트 추천The Shakespeare of it all might also be a nostalgic callback to films like Clueless, Get Over It and 10 Things I Hate About You but it proves to be one of many stumbling blocks for writer Ilana Wolpert, coercing an age-old farce into distractingly, annoyingly convoluted slapstick-heavy corners, quotes clumsily crowbarred in throughout as a reminder. Vague meta attempts to comment on just how convoluted it gets aren슬롯사이트™t enough to fix the problem, serving more as a confession that maybe this wasn슬롯사이트™t a good idea in the first place.

:슬롯 머신 사이트 추천At the heart of it, the prospect of Powell and Sweeney falling for each other 슬롯사이트� or at least a Powell type and an actual Sweeney type 슬롯사이트� remains far more compelling and convincing than the story that슬롯사이트™s been constructed for Anyone But You. Of course it슬롯사이트™s not just possible or even probable, but nearly certain that all this chemistry is just good acting, coupled with a savvy marketing and social media campaign.

슬롯 머신 사이트 추천It슬롯사이트™s brazenly traditional, right down to its use of Natasha Bedingfield슬롯사이트™s Unwritten슬롯 머신 사이트 추천as Ben슬롯사이트™s 슬롯사이트œserenity슬롯사이트� song, and the one that seals the joy of their connection. The big final meet-up, in front of the Sydney Opera House (which looks about as romantic as a box of designer shoulder pads, but never mind), is a testament to the wounded sincerity that lurks on the other side of the new hostility. And the theme of the rom-com remains eternal: You probably have to love someone a lot to hate them this much.

:슬롯 머신 사이트 추천Mostly, they just have the unenviable task of fleshing out the familiar tropes of a fake-it-till-you-make-it romance in a movie not graced with much charm or wit. The secondary roles are no more interesting. At least the end credits make it look like they had a great time making it. But I슬롯사이트™m a sucker for a frothy rom-com with sexy leads, and this did nothing for me
