Sweet Story - Rintin
I stumbled onto this movie, never having heard of it, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Like several other reviewers, I found it to be lighthearted, funny and endearing love story. I thought every single character was well developed and convincingly portrayed. Of course the tender relationship between Mike & Sue is sweet and heart warming, but I also really enjoyed his relationship with his new pal, Al.
Overall, I highly recommend Management for an easy night in.Management is good romantic comedy choice - mushujasmine
This is a really nice, warm, heart-felt kind of movie. It will leave you smiling and thinking about the characters well after the movie has ended.
I identified with Steve Zahn's character and only wish a fine young lady as Sue would enter my life and cause such disruption to my glum existence.
I liked the fact that Zahn played an average guy who falls in love with a woman who was out-of-his-league, for the most part. However, his love for Sue and his non-judgmental personality added to his like-ability as a simple guy who falls for his ideal woman...and wins in the end."Management" is a good judge of character - napierslogs
Mike (Steve Zahn) is a hapless young man stuck in Arizona; Sue (Jennifer Aniston) is a young career woman on the move all over the country. He thinks he has something special with her but she just views his actions as inappropriate.
Aniston's Sue comes across as mature and diplomatic—very different than Rachel and her other recent characters. While Steve Zahn's character was very well written. He's very awkward and inexperienced around women and his use of words shows that perfectly and humorously. He's also very observant and a good judge of character. These characteristics help him build a connection with Sue and move the film forward.
At times, the structure of the story drags the film down a bit. The beginning is about introducing the characters and the second half has a more active plot when we meet Sue's on-again, off-again, and on-again boyfriend Janga (Woody Harrelson) and Mike gets closer to sorting out his life. The two halves aren't connected as well as they could have been but there is a bit of subdued humour sprinkled throughout.
"Management" is just a romantic comedy, but it has better written humour than most in the genre and much better written characters. I recommend it for its cute performances by Aniston and Zahn and for the little bit of inspiration that such real and developed characters can provide.
