‘Head over Heel’ falls flat on its face

FORCED is the one word I would choose to describe the new romantic comedy “Head over heels”.

After seeing this movie, I tried to come up with one positive element so I could feel good about shelling out the money to see it. I couldn’t. Let me explain.

The story goes like this: Amanda (Monica Potter) is a young painter who loses faith in men and ends up sharing an apartment with four models.

These models (Ivana Milicevic, Sarah O’ Hareprance, Sarah O’ Hare, and Tomiko Fraser) prance around all day and night primping themselves and working the hordes of men that chase them around for dinner and parties.

Amanda, being a more common person, prefers to stay home and stare at her attractive neighbor, Jim (Freddie Prinze Jr.), who she hopes might just be the one to pull her out of her love slump.

The models, of course, decide it is their duty in life to get Amanda and Jim together, and the story builds from there.

The first thing that drew me to this movie, being a guy, is the fact that four of the main characters are models. The problem was these goddesses had lines and actually had to try and deliver them, which was excruciating to watch.

Freddie Prinze Jr. should have been the bright spot in this film, but he dulled after the thousandth time he’d flashed his “cute” smile to try to make me feel better about the crappy movie I was being subjected to. And Potter’s Julia Roberts-esque acting style could not pull this movie out of the toilet.

Along the lines of the porcelain throne, this movie had more potty-humor than the human mind should be subjected to.

There were a lot of bathroom scenes, genital-humor, and several scenes with a dog that likes to knock people over and hump them.

If this sounds crude, try watching it in a theater, larger than life and with sound.

If you are in the mood for a good romantic comedy, I would suggest snuggling up with a warm bowl of popcorn on your own couch with one of your past favorites and leave “Head over Heels” out of your future.
