After my Netflix binging on series like Dexter and Breaking Bad lately, it's was a refreshing change when I sat down to watch the romantic comedy "It's Not You, It's Me".
Right off the bat, I couldn't help to think "How has no one named a movie this before!?" Of all the cliché phrases that you hear in the dating world, I had thought they must have all been used up! But then, as if the bidding wars had finally ended and the most over-used break-up phrase of all times and this movie was released.
The story follows the tale of a Dave (Ross McCall), a commitment-phobe, and Carrie's (Joelle Carter) relationship and breakup. But, it's not just the story on this movie, it's the way it's told. It doesn't just follow the relationship, it analyses every specific characteristic through the two main character's brain's interior dialog. As the story proceeds from a "day in the life" scene with our characters, it will then shoot to the scene inside their head where different characters representing different aspects of thought. The characters in their heads battle out ideas that eventually decide our main characters next move. At first, I didn't get it. But then again, it started from the guy's point of view, and we all know my understanding of that particular gender. His brain was filled with a child, a man consumed with death and a misogynist, among others. Yep, that seems about right! When it got to Carrie's inner thought process, that's where this movie for me, became a lot of fun. I loved the inner dialog of the characters in her head dealing with the dating world. What was really funny to me, was that they managed to cover every aspect of the female psyche from a character trying to find reason, the diva who just says "Screw it!" all the way down to the inner girl in the strait jacket feeling like we've lost our mind completely dealing with our love life!
The story is fun for both guys & girls & told in such a creative way! I recommend to go check it out on Amazon or iTunes & feel better knowing that we all have a little spicy Vivica Fox inside us.
