I was surprised how much I enjoyed "Simply Irresistible."
I went because I like the leads from TV shows and I like magic realism .
I didn't mind that it rips off "Like Water for Chocolate" but I did mind how cheaply it was done with really lousy cinematography and poor lighting.
The cute script had the teens in the audience laughing out loud so it's too bad there was no directorial imagination. Bring on the fantasy scenes, please.
It also badly needed a choreographer, but it had nice music here and there.
Not the best romantic movie of the year.
