Visitor Comments

Ian Douglas: I was expecting a bomb, but was pleasantly surprised. Ok, so it's no ''Notting Hill'' but it's a good date movie and pleasant light escapist fare, with some good laughs.

Shaun Myburg: Ok, so I may well be biast on this review since I am... yes I'll say it...The Biggest SMG fan in the known universe. Having seen this one several times before it made it's way here I knew that it would not draw much of an audience, which is a shame. Simply Irrisistable (aka Vanilla Fog) is as far away from a hollywood blockbuster as you are going to get, however it has enough charm and grace to go over as a very good film. Gellar proves there is more to her acting than just kicking Vampire butt and really makes the audience feel for her. Overall the movie will not take in much at the box-office but will definitely leave the audience feeling good. As few movies do. As always... GO SEE IT!

Marius Cronje: A very nice romantic movie.

Craig Langenhoven: A well made movie and well worth watching. Sarah Michelle Gellar is superb in this movie.

Debbie Grogor: Okay, a little boring but otherwise quite cool.

Guinevere Vos: I was surprised to find how Sarah Michell Gellar can change her image from slayer to the principal player of a romantic film. I really enjoyed it.

David Vinchie: Excellent!

Liz Duffer: I love this movie so much. I have seen it more than 10 times. Sarah Michelle Gellar and Sean Patrick Flannery are great in this movie. They did a wonderful job.

Jackie Shapiro: I loved this movie! I thought it was so good and definatly deserves a 10!!

Katherine Eddington (16): I thought the film was good, I have seen ebtter films but overall it was lighthearted and had a happy ending, the kind of film I like! The song at the end was brilliant, anyone know what its called and who its by??
