Cyrano With Blue Eyes & Blue Jeans

Rating: 10/10 (31 July 2019)

I'm not a fan of "Chick Flicks, " and I've never been much of a fan of Gerard Butler after the scandal.... but I LOVE the sweet, fresh - faced Katherine Heigel since Grey's anatomy & the All - American Eric Winter since Days of Our Lives. So, I've been putting off watching this movie for 10 years, now I'm disabled I'm watching tons of movies on Netflix, and saw this, had I known it was a re- imagining of Cyrano De Bergerac, as Roxanne was a few decades ago, I would have watched this back when it first came out!
Katherine plays the producer of a local television morning show, who's so neurotic, that any man she dates, she has her assistant do a background check on him, and ACTUALLY thinks up and prints out a list of questions for them to ask each other on their first date! She hasn't had a meaningful relationship in a long time, she hasn't even had sex in 11 months. Everything in her life is in tight, perfect order, and that's how she likes it... she's a control freak.
Gerard plays Mike, the star of a local access show called "The Ugly Truth, " which gets picked up by her mourning show for regular episodes. This Show is aimed at men, teaching them how to pick up women and tell them what women want- however, he's got it ALL WRONG, i.e. he tells men instead of taking women on a romantic singer date, we'd prefer you take us to Jello wrestling! So, as you can guess, they butt heads!
Enter Eric's Colin. Abby sees her cat outside in a tree, the limb breaks outside his window, he rescues her, gives her his number. When she gets the nerve to call him from work, Mike over hears, and interferes. Now I ABHOR spoilers, so I won't be giving any away, but know that Mike plays Cyrano, and just as with Cyrano, he learns more about himself than anything, and it backfires on him.
Being someone who doesn't like "Chick Flicks" I LOVED THIS MOVIE! And if you're reading this review, that means you're considering watching the movie, so you probably like them, and will LOVE this movie too! What are you waiting for? Pop that popcorn and chill that champagne!!!
