Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
ChanFamous I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
kkassuee If only I could give this movie minus points. Don't get me wrong - I'm a 90s baby who grew up watching Hilary Duff gems like Lizzie McGuire and Cinderella Story and I've got nostalgic love in my heart for Hilary but seriously, this piece of "cinema" is the worst thing I have ever seen. The first five minutes made me gag not only because of the insipid dialogue but also because of the misogynistic portrayal of women. Again, don't get me wrong. I love a good romantic comedy. Take Bridget Jones for example: a naive, yet charming single woman who is relatable and familiar. You know, the everyday girl. In Beauty and the Briefcase, Duff is portraying a ditzy bimbo whose life is about men, men and men (though boys might be more accurate as she acts like a 16-year-old). She walks around in skintight clothes, checking things off her list of requirements for men like sexy accent, sense of style, same taste in food and lies about her resume. She still manages to snatch a job in a finance firm where her only concern is how many men can she date.Anyways, I have no idea who the target audience is supposed to be as I truly hope no one can identify with the character of Hilary Duff. This is pro-men rights porn at its worst and genuinely the shittiest film I have ever seen.
donnachenn I read many negative reviews on the movie it's self and the actress Hilary Duff. But in all honest, these are the kind of movies i like and everyone is entitled to their own opinions but thats just their opinion- they just don't like this movie. I like this movie and i love how Hilary Duff acts, in fact, i want her in more movies like these. This movie was a breathe of fresh air, it's funny and romantic = romantic comedy = perfection. I saw the comments on this movie and one of them said something like "you've got to be kidding" etc. I kept that in mind while watching the movie and i have to say that the person writing that comment doesn't know what he/she is talking about. Before you judge this movie, you've got to at least "test" and watch it before bashing on it. you can't make the audiences believe that its a bad movie, because some audience such as i, like this movie. The movie was nice,sweet, nothing extravagant just a little romantic comedy.. it's simple, if you are the kind of people that want action, i guess this isn't the movie for you. Plot was somewhat good, the acting was fair, and there were many good looking people (Which you always want in a romantic comedy), as well as most important of all it had a good and happy ending. -It's heart warming. Way better than i expect by the looks of the comments and rating. I absolutely have no idea why people wrote all these bad things about the movie. Why be so critic and not enjoy the movie as a whole and it's own self. Just sit back, enjoy the movie and stop being such a harsh critic, that it doesn't let you enjoy movies. But the only thing i don't understand is that, doesn't Tom have a girlfriend...?? Anyone want to answer to my question aha.Definitely will watch this again on my spare time, and in my opinion; it was a great movie.
davis-m-chambers This movie is an abomination to every aspect of filmmaking and culture. Hilary Duff is about as exciting as watching paint dry. The writing is so heinously bad. Quite literally the most offensive depiction of women ever printed to film. One would be better served watching a solar eclipse.Below are activities that would be better than watching this flick: + Clawing your eyes out + Combing your hair for two hours + Receiving the Clockwork Orange violence rehabilitation treatment + Eating a prickly cactus + Dying by fire + Dying by falling off a huge building + Dying + Ignoring a painful hangnail while cutting citrus fruit + Knocking your teeth out with a hammer
danny mania This was a nice little romantic comedy without much fuzz.Saw the comments on this movie and one of them said something like "you've got to be kidding" etc etc..I kept that in mind while watching the movie and i have to say that the person writing that comment doesn't know what he/she is talking about.You have got to at least watch a movie before you go and comment on the movie and make the audiences believe that its a bad movie..Now,the movie was nice,sweet,nothing extravagant just a little romantic comedy..Plot was good,the acting was fair enough,There were good looking people(Which you always want in a romantic comedy),and most important of all it had a good ending.Definitely way better than what i thought from the comments.I absolutely have no idea why people write all these bad things if it is a good enough movie.Why be so critic and not enjoy the movie!Just sit back,enjoy the movie and stop being such a harsh critic that it doesn't let you enjoy movies..cheers
