Leading Lady (2014)
3/10
Hard to like the movie if one can't like the lead characters

I am actually pretty easy to please when it comes to movies. I like most of them. Even if they are very formulaic as long as I am entertained I am usually happy. But this movie couldn't pass for me.

The main reason is that I just felt nothing positive for the both lead lead characters. They are so incredibly bland and stiff that it is even hard to see why they like each other. Why would anybody like them, let alone fall in love with them? One really feels more humanity, character and interesting personality in Jodi's boyfriend Daniel (Gil Bellows). Actually the end makes me happy not so much for her as for him, he finally got rid of this boring woman.

Can't say the movie is absolutely awful. Besides the total failure with both leads the rest of the cast is pretty good. And we see a lot of hilarious moments. The auditions for example were a hilarious sequence. Especially the belly dancer guy.

If only the main characters got some personality and some less cringe worthy dialogue the movie could have been good.
