A bartender and a businesswoman find they only have one thing in common; insomnia

Charles Michael Davis --Odette Annable
The other guy is her real life husband

 

Ding, ding, ding! This is Odette Annable's third fictional IR relationship.

1. South Beach (she was stunningly beautiful on this show)
2. Pure Genius
3. Whatever this movie is called.

 

Oh l love to see that flick. I will buy a copy for sure.

 

Depends on how deep the IR scenes.

 

FF? The Heat would be turned down on the love scenes.

 

You never seen The Mountain Between Us or FOCUS?

 

Why are we hyping this??? The black guy is clearly gonna get cheated on and left. This much is clear from that trailer alone. I would've thought people here would be put off.

 

SMH. I don't remember anybody mentioning "South Beach" or "Pure Genius" in the IR in TV shows thread.

LOL, that movie has such a ridiculous premise. To answer your question, the engaged IR couple in the film are played by 2 recognizable name actors. So it's worth mentioning.

 

lol. I would've thought they were mentioned.

 

You're right! But it is not much in the trailer so I was trying not to jump the gun. But yeah we need another trailer or watch how it plays out. There are still those in hollywood that will do things like that, but I don't believe it works on audiences very well. So if they do cuck the black guy they'll turn viewers off.

 

Saw the movie the other night.

Spoiler

Her fiancee tracks her to a hotel room, he questions the two of them, buys what they are selling. Even takes them both to a sleep specialist. She pretends the problem is solved. Fast forward to the wedding day. Low and behold who has been invited to the wedding the magic man, he starts to realize his feelings and cant be there gets up and leaves. She is riding in the limo to the wedding and doing the whole having doubts talk with her dad, gets into the church, makes it to the alter. While taking their vows she falls asleep shots of fiancees mom looking nervous because she not answering the do you take this man question, she wakes up to entire church looking at her, she confesses to her fiancee she has been lying about the problem being solved, and that she can't go through with the wedding, launches into the whole it's not you is me, you did nothing wrong, you are such a great guy speech. Comedic moment with maid of honor and dad, runs out jumps in the car to find new love, hits him with the car, they confess their love to one another, vet to a year later, now married they are in bed about to fall asleep love yous exchanged suddenly baby cries waking them a d then not it.

Seems this is a theme with her roles
On south beach she is with lee thompson then her ex comes into the pic and all of a sudden lee isn't tge guy anymore.

Pure genius same thing

 

I don't even need to read the spoiler to know what happened. Did they at least give the jilted fiance someone new? Or did they go the other lazy route and make him a terrible, one-dimensional person?

 

Basically he is the wonderful doting fiancee not a bad guy at all in fact he does everything he can for her to solve her problem but it is not enough. He can't give her what she needs. All he gets is the it's not you its me your a great special guy and gets walked out on left standing there in a church full of people looking dumb. I mean dude just took getting dumped at the alter no muss no fuss.

In the spoler I explained he got suspicious tracked her phone to a hotel. Called from the lobby, caught her in lies upon lies, she realizes this tells him the truth and to come up, she tells dude to stay so that they explain the situation, he gets up there and not only does he not kill the other guy he ends up cautiously accepting her explanation, and says if she needs him to sleep he is willing to deal with it. Dude takes them both to a sleep specialist and literally sits there all night and watches as the woman he loves fall asleep and peacefully sleeps with another man beside her. All the while we see it tearing him up and he wants her to be able to do that with him.

This movie pissed me off gotta be honest.

 

DO NOT SPOIL ANY OF THE MOVIE: I just figured I’d mentioned if any of you haven’t heard, it seems like Sony is moving forward with the whole Miles x Gwen relationship in Spider-Verse 2!

 

No. Hope the loving is great. May get a DVD copy.

 

Great question. Since his girl is raided the chocolate box.

 

Wow. Didn't even throw the brother a bone huh? THANK YOU for saving me the trouble of watching this movie and vomiting afterward. Even with no race angle at play, this kind of movie disgusts me.

 

Well...
The Mountain Between Us is kind of the same way but the difference is the circumstance they were in... stranded with each other on a mountain, you don't have her being pushed to being with another man and they at least presented some problems Alex was having with her fiancé. And the movie made no excuse for her being with Ben as they tried to fight it and tried to get the audience to understand the circumstance they were in for them to fall in love. There was no good guy, bad guy just humans being.

This movie sounds like some cuckold shit. The fiancé seems dumb founded, pushes them together and they present him as the good guy. The fiancé is still present and they seem to try and excuse her actions and took it all the way to the wedding. A movie like this can work if you put the characters in the right circumstance and you CAN NOT have the guy being dumped the good guy and try to make her the good girl after what she did to him. You have to present them as humans just being. She cheated with really no reason or understandable circumstance.

But him being a black guy is the real problem here and I know @JamalSpunky got my back on this because even though we are moving towards having more IR couples on screen it is still a problem Hollywood has about seeing a black man and a white woman as lovers on screen. Especially as the lead. So this movie sounds like it has that problem and took this opportunity to marginalize IR relationships involving black men.

And there are still not that many bm/ww IR couples on screen so when you create one and have it be disastrous it's not a good look. Especially since there is a theme with producers/filmmakers always seem to have a NEED to throw a white guy into the mix and make a love triangle where 99% of the time she winds up choosing the white guy because the black guy is bad. Think about it. Where is the love triangle involving IR where BOTH the guys are black? We see the ones where both the guys are white so why when it's a IR couple featuring a black man and they want to throw another guy into the mix the other guy is always white.


That's what makes this movie sound BAD! Because those other things I mentioned studios have done that before. But some have done it under the right circumstance like The Mountain Between Us, The English Patient, ect.

It can work you just have to create an understandable circumstance and throw away the good guy, bad guy thing and let the characters be human.

But you can't do this with a IR couple... At all! Because it's marginalizing.
We're not there yet to not see race in that, because the business they are in still have a PROBLEM with race and interracial between black men and white women.
