Review of Pocket Listing (2016) by Flickman123 — 14 Jan 2017

I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED this movie. OK, I'll admit it. I'm in real estate myself and when I came across a title that had direct industry implications, I was both excited but skeptical. So I watched out of principal, just to see how a yarn could be spun around what is essentially a by the book business.

Much to my delight, "Pocket Listing" turned out to be a hilarious, engaging, incisive, and supremely well-acted comedy/drama thriller with just about everything that a viewer, let alone a broker, could ask for from a movie about crooked realtor affairs.

First off, the story is full of fun twists and turns, the performances from the leading man (very easy on the eyes I must say) and the leading lady (absoloutely drop dead) are terrific, the supporting turns from Lowe and Reynolds are spot on, the Malibu villa itself is to die for, and everything about this film is just engrossing and engaging.

Now as a realtor, I must confess that things don't exactly work the way they do in this film -- imagine this as real estate on pumped up glamour steroids -- but watching things get out of hand is part of the fun.
