Fallen for You

Funny little film, well made in ever aspect, had some fun moments with Nicky being knocked about, and I liked the main actor playing the "cheating" husband. Couldn't fault it for a nice wee film that the team should be proud of.

This team hands in a great effort every year. I think they even had the same genre as they did last year? A girl is on the eve of her wedding, but unfortunately for her unlucky husband to be, the mother thinks her own husband is cheating on her and throughout her brooding anger keeps inadvertently injuring her son in law to be, eventually running him over. I loved the Nicky character. Infact I'd put him in as one of the best uses of the character. Reminded me a lot of Faulty Towers type humour which worked well in this story. Nicely written story with some quick one liners from the dad, was entertaining and felt the audience enjoyed it.

On, the eve of the wedding of her daughter to Nicky Brick, the mum finds a love note in her husband's golf-bag and suspects him of cheating. The big day arrives and Nicky suffers through a series of misfortunes as one marriage begins while another is deteriorating. This team has had iterations of this genre a few times over the years I've been involved. I remember a very clever film involving post-its a few 48s back for one. Visuals and sound are strong as is the acting by the entire cast - they always seem to pull together an eclectic bunch of people that make things interesting. There were good set-ups for Nicky's accidents (the golf club for one) and a bitter-sweet ending. Likeable, fun and really well done!

Technically, very proficient. A little predictable in places for me but I liked how you ran with Nicky as an unlucky person, whereas a lot of the films I saw took Nicky and his inherent character trait to a sideline level - something bad happened to him but bad things happen to everyone, and we wouldn't think of them as unusually unlucky. All and all a solid effort! I think one of the only things that struck me was that I never really expected Nicky to die at the end, and I don't think the audience did either. The last scene just seemed a bit too cheery and upbeat for me to hint at this, though maybe that was intended - it was after all a romantic comedy.

This was a fun and interesting film. I really enjoyed the opening music. Excellent use of the prop off the bat, and interesting story-line woven into it because of it. Excellent music choice throughout the film. Good composition on the shots, and good lighting. The footage was rich and looked great. Funny circumstances with the fiance getting clobbered all the time, and clever writing with the brick jokes thrown in after each one. Some of the voice audio wasn't completely clear. Overall it was a great story, great ending, and great use of the line. Things to work on: If you didn't use an off-camera mic, get one for next year, or if you did... get a better one? You guys have a pretty diverse skill set (and apparently know enough people to get access to a medical room!) so with some fine-tuning you could do great things.

Very solid film here, you totally nailed the romantic comedy thing. nicely romantic and funny but something more than that. I could really believe that this would be the premise for a romantic comedy film. the characters all felt true to the genre. good laughs across the film, GREAT use of the Nicky Brick character. and the "Dad" character was also a great one. just like last year you turned in a film that was especially solid from a script standpoint. I will say though that i felt the ending was a little off. I would really like to see your entry next year push your technical abilities. If you can just up your technical skills, sound/shooting/editing etc you will be a force to be reckoned with.

It was overall a well made film. Some of the actors were convincing, and some were not as convincing. The story was a little bit too typically, though entertaining. There are very few big faults with this, but not so many magic things about it either. Was a little unmemorable.

We meet a young woman receiving romantically scribed leaves from her fiancé Nicky Brick. A misunderstanding causes suspicions of infidelity between her parents, and all the while Nicky is the victim of a string of accidental violent acts around the house. Here’s a brand of comedy that isn’t often seen in 48Hours (at least not done well), namely gentle slapstick and farce comedy. Usually 48Hours films that are a bit silly tend to also show a nasty streak, but this one proves to be more whimsical and good-natured, which is refreshing, and I suppose it echoes a rather old-fashioned mode of comedy writing and filmmaking. The look of this film has a similar glow to their post-it-note fad movie from last year, with lots of light and good use of colour choice in locations, props and costume to make the whole affair feel light and breezy. As has been mentioned by other reviewers and I wholeheartedly agree, this was a fantastic imagining of the Nicky Brick character, with the trait of unluckiness written right into his DNA. But far from being a miserable character, he was merely hapless, doomed to misfortune but resolutely upbeat. I mean, his end is downright tragic really, but somehow this film manages to turn a death into a warm fuzzy moment. Sure, there were a few sound issues and not all the jokes quite worked, but it moved along at a fair clip, and succeeded in telling a simple, charming tale.
