Amanda is still in the market for a great boyfriend, since most of her previous relationships have ended in broken promises or infidelity. She thinks she may have found the right guy in Jim Winston (Freddie Prinze Jr.), but she has reason to believe that he might be guilty of murder. Since she's not sure he has actually done anything, she decides to find out the truth, and her investigation has unexpectedly comic consequences. Head Over Heels was directed by Mark S. Waters, whose first feature, The House of Yes, also starred Freddie Prinze Jr.. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    Monica Potter as a single girl and her four beautiful models as roomies are really hilarious by solving the mystery of the man of single girl's dreams who committing a cold-blooded crime after she was spying on him.

    Kinda cute movie.
  • September 7, 2008
    It's an average romantic comedy movie and also a farce and a screwball comedy. Monica Potter and Freddie Prinze Jr. had good on-screen chemistry. But, unfortunately for Freddie Prinze Jr., while he was good, it was the females, in this movie that stole the sh... read moreow. Monica Potter is wonderful, the models are goofy yet so likable. The plot is okay but takes a long time to develop. This movie has a great ending.

    Monica Potter (Amanda) plays a woman with a quiet conservative life who has a horrible dating history and is looking for a room to move into. She ends up sharing an enormous flat with four supermodels but one night Amanda and her newly discovered supermodel roommates (who share o... read morene brain) spy on their young attractive neighbor Freddie Prinze Jr (Jim) and they think he may have killed a young woman. But that won't stop Amanda and so she begins to stalk him to find out the truth of the situation. Toss in a dog which loves to try to hump Amanda and a topless Freddie Prinze Jr and you have a light hearted romantic comedy that will make you laugh.

    Trying to hard to make it a successful comedy, the plot was just ridiculous, could be seen as 2 irrelevant movies, toilet humor was over used, acting was really bad, only watch it if you are bored

    Looked like a lot of other dumb movies of its kind but this one is quite funny.
  • October 21, 2008
    This was actually a very hilarious comedy for me. It was a bit cheesy, but alot of hilarious scenes throughout the movie. Made me laugh especially with Freddie's bathroom scene! lol...Monica Potter and Freddie Prince, Jr. are very cute in this amusing movie. :D I liked it alot.

    Chick flick, undoubtedly. But cute and snazzy... you can't deny Freddie's charm! Well you can, but that was kinda rhetorical... GOT IT?!

Lisa Alspector, Chicago Reader

The best jokes are on the models and the men who pursue them, and Shalom Harlow, Ivana Milicevic, Sarah O'Hare, and Tomiko Fraser -- the real models who play Potter's roommates --are very good sports. Full Review

Rick Groen, Globe and Mail

Head Over Heels may bear some superficial resemblance to a movie, but don't be fooled -- it's really just a marketing strategy, a loose assemblage of components each pitched to a particular demographic. Full Review

Steven Rea

Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer

Kerplunkingly unfunny and -- despite Potter's Julia Roberts-ish smile and ditz shtick -- charmless.

Terry Lawson

Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press

All that's lacking is anything remotely resembling wit or style.

If you are 17, there are worse date movies. Full Review

Lael Loewenstein, Variety

The film's strenuous play for laughs tends to overshadow its assets. Full Review

Desson Thomson

Desson Thomson, Washington Post

Just another bland, fair-to-middling vehicle for two emerging, fledgling stars. Full Review

Rita Kempley, Washington Post

With each rewrite, it seems, things grew fouler, duller and more idiotic. Full Review

Mike Clark

Mike Clark, USA Today

It feels like a movie some other actress rejected -- you can almost see Sandra Bullock using the screenplay manuscript as a coffee coaster. Full Review

Mick LaSalle

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

Light stuff, the cinematic equivalent of the airy wax paper that separates cold cuts on a delicatessen scale. Full Review
