cupid_shot_you Whether you will like this movie or not depends on the time and the mood you are in. I have many movies on my computer that I haven't seen yet but I chose this one because I wanted a comedy, badly.I liked Alana De La Garza's facial expressions, very cute. David Boreanaz wasn't bad either. I think he's very good at facial expressions too. He has this big smile you won't forget.I had a blast watching this. Not a hint of boredom. I can say this because I was sitting in front of a computer screen, I can pause it or stop watching it altogether if I really want to.(unlike the movie theater, you almost have to finish the movie so your buck wouldn't got to waste) But I didn't.This movie is kind of like Click (2006). Full comedy in the beginning, then romance and sadness near the end.
stardarling2003 I love David Boreanaz, so of course I simply bought Mr. Fix It. The first time I watched it, I realized there may have been a reason it went straight to DVD. I watched it the next day, and I actually like it. It's pretty cute, and has some great one-liners. While it's predictable, and kind of like a backwards Hitch, it's a simply cute romantic comedy with some twists and turns. David Boreanaz is great in a role very different from Angel and Special Agent Seeley Booth, and really gets the opportunity to show off some comedic acting. I recommend this if you're looking for something cute and fun to spend a night.
pumkin465 I rented this low-budget direct-to-DVD flick on Friday night. I watched it again with the director's commentary on later that night, and then watched it with my husband on Saturday afternoon. It held up to the repeated viewings, so that's one thing in its favor.The movie is a romantic comedy starring David Boreanaz. The premise is that while dreaming of racing his Camaro in the town's annual street car race, he runs a business where freshly dumped guys hire him to be the rebound guy for their exes. Mr. Fix-It's goal is to make the ex-boyfriends look "not so bad after all" by taking to extremes whatever qualities the girls think made the ex worth dumping. Of course, the plot thickens when he actually starts to fall for one of his marks ...The low budget nature of the movie and sometimes campy acting actually enhanced my enjoyment as I found its goofy, "lame" quality to be endearing. On the downside, there are some plots and themes that seem underdeveloped. His friendship with his male buddies seems particularly tacked on, and they only show up when the plot demands. More enjoyable was the mentoring relationship he had with the older mechanics who fix up his Camaro.I loved the kicky soundtrack, mostly tunes by The Rosenbergs. I especially like "Birds of a Feather," which plays near the opening and over the credits.David Boreanaz really demonstrates good range here, creating a character totally different from the dark, brooding Angel or even the by-the-book FBI agent he plays in Bones. He made Lance Valenteen very appealing and kept you rooting for him throughout. Watching his performance in this movie made me a bona-fide fan of his! It's interesting to note that while the movie does have some sexual themes and gross out humor, there is no cursing and no nudity (except for some shirtless David Boreanaz!).Go into this movie expecting light entertainment that doesn't take itself too seriously ... and you'll get a few laughs and a positive message to boot.
Kristi Schonhaus Positioned somewhere between Hitch and Failure to Launch comes Mr. Fix-It, a funny, well made date movie that stars everyone's favorite "Angel," David Boreanaz.Boreanaz plays Lance Valenteen, who hires himself out as a fixer of relationships-gone-bad. Newly dumped guys tell Lance that major flaw that made their former significant others show them the door. Lance gathers information on the ex-girlfriends, then sets up a time and place to "accidentally" bump into them.He aggressively courts his subjects, eventually getting them to fall madly in love with him. Then he drops the bomb on the unsuspecting female by becoming a total jerk and making whatever the ex-boyfriend did seem like child's play.The woman crawl back to their ex, Lance gets paid and everyone lives happily ever after. Not so fast.All this comes at a price for poor Lance. Lance does not believe in true love, is totally miserable and does not want to grow old alone. During his time of vulnerability, Lance breaks his own rule by falling for one of his marks, the beautiful Sophia (De La Garza of "Law and Order" and "CSI: Miami"), who displays a few tricks of her own.Mr. Fix-It is a very enjoyable movie that truly showcases the comic talents of Boreanaz. The makers of this movie know exactly what they are doing and who their audience is. The film never drags, has a very good soundtrack and the box art is first rate.This movie should have no trouble selling itself, with Boreanaz's legion of female fans and his hit TV show "Bones." There's plenty for men, too, with the very beautiful De La Garza more than holding her own on screen. — Jonathan Rosenbloom, Home Media Retailing
