Head Over Heels

Summary: Prinze & Potter deliver
Review: Freddie Prinze Jr. gives another wonderful performance. Adding to his roles in "Down To You," "Boys & Girls," "She's All That," and the "I Know..." movies, Prinze takes more of an adult role in "Head Over Heels." Still, he gives a warm, likeable, and honest performance that young men can realte to and girls and women of all ages will melt watching. He's a good role model. He always seems to be trying to do the right thing, and whether or not that's acting or it's just the way Freddie is in real life, his endearing nature to his audience will stabilize his career and superstar status. You get the idea that he's just a really sweet, nice guy. He's going to be around for a long while. He shines in "Head Over Heels" with Monica Potter, who is very much a younger Julia Roberts. Monica, too, is very likeable and gives a sincere performance. They make a perfect on-screen couple--both beautiful, delightful actors whose chemistry oozed mutual respect. This is a great date movie, and I can't wait for it on DVD.

Summary: IS THIS MOVIE TOO PERFECT "GAY PERFECT"?
Review: "HEAD OVER HEALS" IS ONE OF THE FUNNIEST COMEDIES OF RECENT YEARS. I THINK MONICA POTTER HAS A JULIA ROBERTS LIKE QUALITY. I BELIEVE WE WILL BE SEEING ALOT MORE OF HER IN THE FUTURE. POTTER MEETS THE PERFECT GUY (FREDDIE PRINZE JR.), BUT SOMETHING'S NOT RIGHT HE'S TOO PERFECT. WHEN SHE SUSPECTS HE MAY HAVE KILLED A GIRL, POTTER AND HER NEW MODEL FRIENDS DECIDE TO INVESTIGATE. THE RESULT IS EXTREMLY FUNNY. THE ACTORS HAVE A GREAT TIME WITH THE TOILET HUMOR. AND WHEN I SAY TOILET HUMOR, I MEAN TOILET HUMOR. TWO OF THE FUNNIEST SCENES INVOLVE TOILETS. DON'T LET THAT TURN YOU OFF, IT'S DONE IN GOOD TASTE. MORE FUN IS ADDED WITH THE AIRHEAD MODELS THAT POTTER ROOMS WITH. I RECOMMEND THIS MOVIE HIGHLY, IF NOT FULLY.

Summary: Fun & Lighthearted
Review: This was a nice little film. I admit that some of the gags were tedious but overrall it's enjoyable. The movie is very fast paced. I enjoyed all the characters though I found Monica Potter sort of dry. She acted as though she was afraid to cut loose and just be silly. She was kind of stiff but did an okay job. Freddie Prinze Jr. played his part more on the goofy side than charming but, hey this was a comedy after all. The models stole the show. I believe two of them never acted before. They did a good job and seemed more comfortable with themselves than Potter and Prinze. I'm sorry but Potter and Prinze's so-called love didn't do it for me. They had no chemistry( like many critics said when the film came out ). A lot of critics blasted this movie. It was a bit childish and silly. Yet, it's not THAT bad. It's worth a shot. Especially if you are fans of the leads. The climax was cliched but fit the film. I don't know if that's good or bad. You'll have to watch it yourself to make the choice.

The DVD is equipped with a nice Special Features section. My only complaint was they left out commentary. I enjoy commentary most of all ( though I wasn't looking forward to people chatting while Freddie Prinze Jr. was on the toilet ), still I would have loved to hear the directors and actors while watching the film.

Head Over Heels gets a B-. It tries a little too hard to be a romantic comedy and in that loses potential funny moments. I wanted to see more of the models' investigations of Prinze and less of Potter's whining. Other than that this is an okay film. If you don't mind toilet humor and grown women doing stupid stunts this film is for you.

Summary: it was an okay silly movie
Review: I think freddie printz is a hottie but this film didnt excit e me like his other film, she all that. I guess if the movie had more popular actors and actress then it could've been a abetter movie. The other films he played in he was with other well known actors. The director could ve hired better people for their roles. THe actress, Ms. Potter was dull and she was too boring. I recommend this movie to any one who is home bored and ther is nothing on tv . Otherwise save your money and wait till it comes on tv to tape it. I expected a better film. I am very very sad. I still love my fpjr.

Summary: High on my Guilty Pleasure scale
Review: You'd think that living with four models -- who are constantly dressed in evening gowns and are always surrounded by rich guys who will buy them anything just for a chance to be in the same room -- would be a bit...disconcerting. But Amanda Pierce (Monica Potter) doesn't mind. All she wants is to move on with her life, forget about men (one of whom she just caught cheating on her), and throw herself into her work (restoring paintings at the Met).

Things change, however, when she meets Jim (Freddie Prinze, Jr.), the gorgeous fashion exec who lives in the next building. Amanda and her roommates spend hours spying on him -- watching as he baby-sits, buys candy from schoolgirls, and does chin-ups -- until they decide to get Amanda closer to him by crashing a party at his place.

Amanda finally gets Jim's attention-and gets him to ask her out. But after she returns home, she sees what looks like a murder -- one that Jim committed in his apartment. So before going on a date with a killer, Amanda -- along with her evening-gown-clad roommates -- go undercover.

Head Over Heels is definitely high on my guilty pleasure scale. It's a cheesy, sappy, goofy movie filled with clichés and anorexic supermodels doing undercover surveillance in heels, and I loved it. In fact, I was watching it alone, and it still made me laugh out loud. It's a good thing I got a five-night rental -- that meant I was able to watch it once or twice more before returning it.

Summary: Cute comedy with a suspenseful twist
Review: Head Over Heels is light-hearted fare and is perfect for girl sleepovers, girl bonding, and that sort of thing. Major chick flick. This isn't a movie to make your boyfriend/husband sit through. Though there are plenty of dimwit, pretty models for him to look at while you admire Freddie Prinze, Jr.

This feature tries to bring in elements of suspense and a "whodunit" type of story, but ultimately it's still about a boy and a girl. The question is whether or not they end up together despite the possibility he could be a criminal.

Freddie is adorable, as usual, and Monica Potter gets to show off some slapstick humor.

Summary: HAHAHAHAHA!
Review: Well I never thought that movie that looked this cheap was going to be so entertaining and simply fun, this supposed to be a cliche movie, but it has something different, of course has obvious turns and predictible endings but this movie was simply fun to watch....truly recommended for those lazy sunday afternoon without nothing to do. The lead actress Monica Potter is a Julia Roberts look-a-like with blonde hair don't you think.
