redhedlvr2***Spoilers for the movie***
So I watched Mr. Fix-It over the weekend. I like DB when he's being silly, the big lug, I just can't help myself. I also usually don't watch romantic comedies, but I must have been in a DB mood when I was loading up my Netflix movie queue and it found it's way into my dvd player.
The basic plot is that DB's character is Lance aka Mr. Fix-It. Dumped men come to him to get their girls back and he does this by being the complete opposite of the guys who got dumped but with a twist. Just as the women think they've found their "true love" Mr. Fix-It reveals himself to be so much worse than the guys who hired him, that the girls realize just how good they used to have it and go back to their guys. Mr. Fix-It even offers a money back guarantee. Or words to that effect.
The movie makes sure that we know at the beginning that Lance does not believe in "TRUE LOVE!!!" and is therefore immune to falling in love. He takes on his next case, but as it turns out, the woman in question seems to really like all the goofy things he does like bumper cars and generally being silly. One plus one equals plot and he winds up falling in love with her. Big surprise there.
But then, the big twist to the movie, it turns out she is Ms. Fix-It and has been hired by Mr. Fix-It's friends to prove to him that TRUE LOVE really does exist and he is not as immune as he thinks. And here is where I got pissed at the movie and turned it off.
Lance never hurt anyone, in movie land. The guys got their girls back, the women were happy (for the sake of making the movie work in my head I believe that they really were happy going back) and it's a no harm no foul kind of thing. But in this instance, someone does get hurt. Lance winds up in love with someone who, at the point I turned the movie off, did not love him back, but we all know somehow she really did fall in love back, but I was pissed and didn't want to watch the rest. He also had spent the money fixing up an old camero he planned to race, following a life long dream, and since he had a money back thing going on, he had to give the car over to make good. So thanks, good friends, for making someone they supposedly cared about miserable, unemployed and for crushing his life long dream. Ugh!
In a nutshell, where I obviously belong, don't watch this movie if you are sensitive to supposed friends turning out to be big meanies. It's interesting that's all I came away with after watching this movie.
