Mr. Fix It Trailers

Lance Valenteen (David Boreanaz) makes a living as "Mr. Fix It," a man who gets hired by men that have just recently been dumped by their girlfriend. Lance dates the guys' ex-girlfriend and becomes the worst date possible, sending the girl back into her ex-boyfriends arms. But when Lance gets hired by Bill Smith (Pat Healy) to get Sophia Fiori (Alana De La Garza) back, Lance, for the first time, starts falling for one of his marks.

Reviews
BroadcastChic Excellent, a Must See
TeenzTen An action-packed slog
Scotty Burke It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review
Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
llsasser I'd rate this as a cut above the usual "date movie" because of it's slightly edgy humor and concept. The film was shot independently, with a low budget, but you'd never know it from the production values displayed on the screen. The two leads have a splendid chemistry and Alana De La Garza captivates with her beauty and flawless Italian accent. Had this film been cast with A-List stars, it surely would have been the top Romantic Comedy for 2006. One especially nice scene features Paul Sorvino and his pals serenading their senior sweethearts in the middle of the night. This moment takes a fanciful turn, reminiscent of fantasy elements found in classical musical comedies from, 40's and 50's. Definitely worth a purchase or rental, especially for Valentine's day.
Ian Bourne This movie is twisted nonsense from the get-go... Ex-Angel from "Buffy: Vampire Slayer" Boreanaz plays another kind of vampire - Lance Valenteen, who feeds financially off of guys who want back their girls...Valenteen/Boreanaz says he can pull the trick off as he never experienced true love, and there is the crux of this dreck... It seems the scriptwriters feel you're nobody without somebody, what a hump of steaming dog pucks! Does not love of self become key in the ability to love others? I am not surprised to see the author has an Italian name, this concept of completeness via marriage/union to me seems that it is usually based from somewhere in the Mediterranean - be it Rome or Tel Aviv! The best part of the picture was the band scene with Paul Sorvino and his cronies wooing the old widows and appearing to be regaining their youth - albeit lust can play a big a part to rejuvenate or energise as can true love, and that difference in this movie with the senior citizens never seemed resolved to me...When Boreanaz' character learns he was played as he had played before and he was angry this was true and in his mind justified, as would any normal person, despite his own chicanery for profit! Yet when he talked again with his old "friends" so soon? I felt that was nonsense, as for him taking the car back and rekindling his relationship with Sophia/Shaughnessy I felt this was equally unreal - am I the only one who would say to put the car deeply where the sun don't shine? This movie had to be financed and made through know-how, as in I know a friend or family member who can do this, etc.http://bajanreporter.blogspot.com/
klgretrt Wonderful and charming film. I was dragged, kicking and screaming to the TV set by my girlfriend, but what a surprise! Without spoiling the surprise, let me say that the film's a contemporary romantic comedy but, instead of the usual baloney and narcissim of recent film releases, the filmDavid Boreanaz shows a great facility for comedy- something we hadn't seen before, and Alana De La Garza is quite charming.I don't want to ruin the surprise, so I'll say Paul Sorvino can really sing.Otherwise, a great supporting cast, too.We rent many films, but WE PURCHASED THIS ONE and gave copies to the relatives (only the ones we like) for the holidays.
Mike Ryan This was presented today at the AMC theater as a surprise preview showing. The theater was full of Saturday viewers and remained that way throughout the picture. There were plenty of laughs and the storyline has an appealing plot. The guy who plays the lead, I think, used to play on "Angel" a TV series and he is very good. The girl is good too and must be new because I've never seen her in anything else. I would recommend this for a good date movie. Some of the scenes really cracked me up and the story is worth your time. It has a clever ending. My girlfriend couldn't stop talking about the guy who plays the lead, David something. He was pretty good I thought.
