Hidden Gem?

           For any of you out there who prefer a hapless, sweethearted hero to your traditional White Knight character, you’ll surely enjoy the movie “Management” (2008). This sweet little film will cheer you up when you feel blue, and let you feel that maybe there is a guy out there, somewhere, to catch you when you fall. For those of us who take care of others, and enjoy doing it, but can’t seem to find anyone to take care of us on those rare occassions when we really need to be taken care of, Mike, the hero of this film is the perfect guy! He may seem just a tad weird in the beginning as he takes such a strong liking to the new girl staying at his parent’s motel that he commits the classic mistake of too much optimism, and not enough finesse when trying to attract someone. Oddly, it doesn’t totally backfire. We see that Mike, hapless as he is, wants only to love this girl. Don’t we all just want someone to love us?

            Overall I found this film a good diversion, and another checked off on my good, but predictable chick flick craze. Thank you netflix! I didn’t even know this movie existed, and Steve Zahn, who plays Mike is one of my favorite actors.
