This 'Table' Tips Well!
Director Mike Samonek serves up a tasty comedy with a mostly appetizing cast and a story well-seasoned with subtle humor and bite-sized hilarity.
Sophia Bush and Jesse Bradford are terrific as a couple too-perfect to be true, hell bent on wrecking their new roommate's (Brandon Routh) life by over-protecting him from his own self-destructive romantic tendencies. The chemistry between Bush and Bradford make them seem as if they've a been a couple for years, dressing to compliment each other's style, finishing each other's sentences with a practiced and perceptively funny rhythm, or just bantering on endlessly. Jennifer Morrison really lets her hair down here, She is the right tone straight and comedic throughout.
The cab scene is hilarious, highlighted by Morrison's aloofness and Bradford's camp. It would've played even funnier if Brandon Routh were good at comedy. Though Routh is the blandest thing on 'Table's' menu, I actually like his straight take through most of the film. It gives his character a lot more credibility as the lonely loser, and it heightens the comedy aspect of Bush and Bradford's supercouple, making it much more their movie than his. Whether director Samonek did that intentionally or not doesn't matter, it works very well. Kudos to him for letting his cast take off and make this as much fun for themselves as it was for us, the viewer. Routh's performance falls flattest when he's supposed to be funniest, but Bush, Morrison and Bradford do a credible job of playing off Routh and making up for his weaknesses. 'Roseanne' alum Johnny Galecki is a hoot as a recent victim of the not-so-perfect couple.
Table For Three is a sleeper, a film that succeeds by never taking itself too seriously or trying too hard to be funny. Like finding a spot at the great little bistro tucked behind the big and bland restaurant chains, you'll want to reserve this 'Table' as soon as you can.
Not worth the purchase!
I got this movie cause I'm a big fan of Sophia Bush. Turns out her character Mary isn't all that lovable or even likable for that matter. The plot line of "Table for Three" isn't really that original and the acting is way over the top at some parts. Now here's the story.
Scott proposes to his girlfriend after they have gone out for 3 months - reaction being vomiting off the roof (yes, they were having dinner on the roof with violin players and everything at daytime). After that he gets like all depressed and grows a really long beard. His best friend leaves for Germany leaving him alone. Since Scott doesn't have any other friends he's looking for a roommate. We only see five applicants, three of them being ridiculously over the top. We've all seen that in various kinds of movies and shows. Someone is looking for a roommate, a nanny or whatever and there's like these horrible applicants that nobody will ever pick because they are just plain weird. Well, it's worse in "Table 4 3" cause I doubt there is actually people like that out there. I mean ok they might be out there but what are the odds for 3 weirdos like that applying for the same apartment. Losing my point here, moving on. Anyway the other two are Ryan and Mary, a couple that seems perfectly normal and really nice. Scott actually doesn't want to live with a couple but decides otherwise after he gets to know them. And so the story begins. The two obviously have no boundaries whatsoever and Scott finds himself living with two complete weirdos that never fight and have sex so loud nothing can tune it out. Then Scott meets Leslie and starts falling for her but Ryan and Mary try everything to not let that happen. Turns out they need Scott as their third wheel to keep their relationship going and prevent them from fighting...
Now I didn't enjoy this movie at all. I don't like Brandon Routh all that much and Sophia Bush as a kinky weird bitch is not that entertaining either. The only one who did sort of a decent job in that unfunny ridiculous production is Jennifer Morrison.
Limp Comedy Featuring the Man of Steel
"Table for Three" focuses on Scott (Brandon Routh, "Superman Returns"), who is suddenly single and alone after his girlfriend dumps him during his marriage proposal and his roommate moves thousands of miles away. When he invites delightful, sympathetic strangers Ryan (Jesse Bradford) and Mary (Sophia Bush) to share his apartment, they soon begin to intrude on every aspect of his life, including his new relationship with the girl of his dreams, Leslie (Jennifer Morrison). Routh, absent from the limelight after essaying the Man of Steel three years ago, is very good as a romantic leading man, but the film is derailed by the excessive maneuvering of the couple from hell, when the movie switches from pleasant dramedy to a broad screwball romp that favors sight gags and slapstick over characterization. Bonus extras include commentary with director Michael Samoneck and a deadeningly dull, 30-minute featurette consisting of unnecessary clips and the actors' rambling on and on about motivation and "thematic reach."
