Painfully slow to watch. I don't know WHAT other public reviewers are smoking, but there's nothing realistic about this movie. As a woman, I would NEVER trust a complete stranger to attach himself to me under the pretense of helping me after my purse was stolen at a club. I would've called the police from the club, while I still had a working cellphone.Then I would've phoned someone I knew to help me out. Footnote: LADIES, if your purse ever gets stolen, the first thing you need to do is report it to the police so you won't be held responsible for whatever the thief does with your checkbook, credit cards, I.D. or SS#.
So this guy, a trumpet player, strings this girl along all night long under the pretense of helping her, even though he doesn't have the means to do so. If a stranger said he could help me, and he proceeded to start by scamming a taxi driver, I would have said thanks, but no thanks. He then goes about scamming his way into playing his trumpet at a party for $500 up front (which he doesn't get) & she just goes along with it? delivering a lukewarm performance of My Funny Valentine? Then when the real band shows up he drags her off the stage as she starts to painfully belt out "Too Sexy" out a side door?
She then convinces him to face his ex-girlfriend, who turns out to be pregnant As for her, she called her husband from a payphone but didn't tell him her purse was stolen. Same for when she called her friend (from a stranger's cellphone) or sister (it's unclear), to ask her to get the letter she regretfully left for her husband.They eventually end up together at a hotel, with no money & credit cards (which had been declined multiple times throughout the night). I'm sorry, but none of this made sense to me, so I could not get emotionally involved while watching this movie.
