Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

tracampanella Boreanaz plays Lance Valenteen, a ladies man who gets hired by guys that have been dumped by their girlfriends. Lance, as "Mr. Fix It," seduces the guys ex-girlfriend and becomes such a bad boyfriend that the girl runs back into her ex-boyfriend's arms. I've always thought Boreanaz was too brooding and tortured on Angel, and in Bones he slurs his words and lulls me to sleep. But somehow in this movie he's transformed into a high energy, funny, vulnerable romantic lead. Maybe it's the blonde (or gold?) hair dye that changed him but whatever it is it works, and it works well.The movie starts off, after some pretty funny scenes of "Mr. Fix It" at work, with Lance getting hired by Bill Smith (Pat Healy) to help him get back his ex-girlfriend, an Italian-accented hottie named Sophia Fiori (Alana De La Garza). Sophia dumped Bill because he was a chronic liar so Lance concocts a plan to seduce Sophia, get her to fall in love with him, and then reveal that all the reasons she fell in love with him were lies. With her heart broken, Bill's lies will pale in comparison.The execution of the plan is pretty much the movie: They date, they start to fall for each other, blah, blah, blah…it's a romantic comedy so you pretty much know the story and how it ends. But that's the thing with this movie - you don't know! It takes the accepted conventions of romantic comedies and not only satirizes them, but uses them to lull the audience into a false sense of comfort so that each new shock is so unexpected that it's embraced by the viewer. The charm of the movie, and there's a lot of it, comes from its ability to work within the confines of the genre while carefully breaking some of it's rules, making for an entertaining, unpredictable story.I've never seen the female lead before, Alana De La Garza, but she made the film. This movie is almost a romantic comedy for guys, which makes you root for Lance. But Garza plays the role of Sophia note perfect, with a dashing combination of innocence and beauty, that you start cringing knowing what lies ahead and hope somehow, someway, she won't get hurt. Halfway through the movie I wasn't sure who I was rooting for since you genuinely like both characters. "Mr. Fix It" has a message but unlike most films you believe the message because you've learned it as the characters have: through situations and conflict. It's not underdeveloped and forced as in other romantic comedies.

cupid_shot_you Whether you will like this movie or not depends on the time and the mood you are in. I have many movies on my computer that I haven't seen yet but I chose this one because I wanted a comedy, badly.I liked Alana De La Garza's facial expressions, very cute. David Boreanaz wasn't bad either. I think he's very good at facial expressions too. He has this big smile you won't forget.I had a blast watching this. Not a hint of boredom. I can say this because I was sitting in front of a computer screen, I can pause it or stop watching it altogether if I really want to.(unlike the movie theater, you almost have to finish the movie so your buck wouldn't got to waste) But I didn't.This movie is kind of like Click (2006). Full comedy in the beginning, then romance and sadness near the end.

stardarling2003 I love David Boreanaz, so of course I simply bought Mr. Fix It. The first time I watched it, I realized there may have been a reason it went straight to DVD. I watched it the next day, and I actually like it. It's pretty cute, and has some great one-liners. While it's predictable, and kind of like a backwards Hitch, it's a simply cute romantic comedy with some twists and turns. David Boreanaz is great in a role very different from Angel and Special Agent Seeley Booth, and really gets the opportunity to show off some comedic acting. I recommend this if you're looking for something cute and fun to spend a night.

substancemedia Well, this movie started out funny but quickly deteriorated. I thought it would be more 'adult oriented' humor based on the first few moments but then the movie switched into a bad made-for-Disney Channel type mode, especially a go-kart racing scene that was incredibly long. Alana De La Garza is gorgeous but has a really fake Italian accent. The movie looked and sounded very independent and low budget. There was one very cute moment which I'll just call the serenading scene but overall this one was a yawner. The laughs are very few and far between. The end surprise for "Mr. Fix It" is so ridiculous it left me more mad than anything else. Might be worth a look if you can catch it for free or TV but don't waste your money buying or renting this movie.
