Review of The One

The One (II) (2011)
6/10
A great little romantic comedy with surprising depth--UNTIL THE END
20 July 2011
Warning: Spoilers
All I'm going to say is, I've rarely enjoyed a movie this much that makes such a serious, serious misstep in its final moments--especially after blatantly leading the audience to expect something (based on several key plot points). It's not just disappointing, it was heartbreaking and vaguely insulting, and the audience I saw it with was vocal in their displeasure and confusion. One more shot--one more!--would drag this C- movie up to an A- For the record, Ian Novick is absolutely wonderful in a tricky role as a party boy who winds up with his heart on his sleeve--it's a masterful little sketch of a shallow man suddenly forced into deeper waters. Please fix this movie ASAP--Novick's performance deserves it!
