Girl Friday

This Movie is very odd. I did not think This movie was very good. This story was predictable. The jealous ex is obviously going to try to get her back for himself. I feel bad for the coming husband. This movie was suppose to be a screwball comedy, but I still think that His Girl Friday falls into the romantic comedy. It still is guy meets girl, guy loses girl, and now wants her back, but can't. I usually dont mind romantic comedies , but i dont like this one. The fast paced talk is suppose to match the press buisness; i get thatm but tit takes away from the film. Another thing about this movie. The director(s) of this movie chose to not use very many camera shots during a scene. They have a lot of the conversations with only one shot. This makes the scene seem to draw out and seem longer and longer. These thing added with the predictability of the movie, make this movie boring.

Yeah the shots are pretty long, but I think I like it that way. It's pretty cool how well the actors did, the dialog kind of bugs me because it is very unrealistic.

Yeah, I though the long shots and absence of any kind of techniques used mad the long takes seem even longer. It wouldn't have been bad if what was going on in the shot was actually interesting, but it was a predictable plot.

"This story was predictable" I like how you said that. I also agree with the fact that it was a romantic comedy, as it was a guy meeting a girl, the guy loosing the girl, and now wants the girl back. I see that out talked about the fast paced dialog, since I wrote about that for my entire post. Nice work.
