Here is a review from someone who saw the movie at the Phoenix Film Festival
Fabulous Romantic Comedy, 26 March 2006
Author: Ashley E from United States
Two of my friends and I watched Her Minor Thing together, and this will be our combined review. We are three college age students: one virgin, one lesbian, and one thirty-something...to get a drift of our different views.
We all classified this as our new favorite 'chick flick'. Although HMT does follow the "romantic comedy formula", it's way different and more stronger than what we've seen from other films. We laughed, we clapped, we cried and got angry all in the span of two hours. HMT gives many emotions, and the music to match is fantastic. Most 'romantic comedies' don't give you the anger or stronger emotions, and HMT does the emotional roller-coaster seamlessly.
Warren makes the role her own by portraying a soft yet strong woman; Weatherly brings in what the three of us pegged as a 'puppet-type shallowness, yet knows true romantic lines - we'll swoon for Tom anyway'. Griffin and Dratch fit into their roles like slipping on a pair of well-worn gloves; Kane seems footloose-and-fancy free.
Rachel Dratch & Michael Weatherly stole the show is our impression, and MADE their roles; the responses in scenes got the exact fabulous facial expressions to go with them, their body language even. Some of our favorite laughs were what Caroline would say, or the look on Tom's face in reaction to the scenes.
The location was also great - it felt like a bigger city, but not the biggest city. Also fabulous to note was the props in the scenes for each location – from photographs, posters and what the characters wore all made the film seem more real, and completed the characters background and feelings about their life.
All of us loved the movie for different reasons at the end - from how the portrayals were (lesbians, firefighters, romantics) to the roller-coaster-ride of the emotions you feel when someone betrays you, to the reactions of many different people in knowing your a virgin.
All in all, wonderful performances by the cast and a talented and emotional script by the Meyers. We are looking forward to more projects by the Meyers and Charles Matthau!

Hi All,
Michael Weatherly did show up. He really enjoyed the film saying he was very proud of this work. (Christian has also said the same thing.) He also said the film was much funnier than he expected. Ah ye of such little faith!
He asked Jim if he was the basis for the virgin character. Of course the audience erupted in laughter. My poor husband Jim was nearly speechless. We told the audience that Christian had won "Best Actor" at the Phoenix Film Festival and didn't want Michael to be disappointed, so we gave him an honorary award of "Mr. Congeniality" - which was a blue star balloon with that written on it in black letters. He said he'd treasure it always.
A funny bit happened at the Gala party the night before. Michael was talking to a gal who was at the party. She was very animated and pretty. She paused in her conversation to ask Michael what he did for a living. So he tells her he works on a TV show called "NCIS". Her jaw dropped and she said "I watch that show every week! Which one are you?" He replies "The one who gets slapped in the head each week." She again was just amazed. Then she asked him what else he did. He told her he'd played the part on "Dark Angel". Again she was amazed telling him she had that series on DVD!! He told us later he was glad that people didn't recognize him as those characters since they aren't really him. We all had a great laugh about it later and hopefully now she'll recognize him in the future!
Take care, Debra HMT Entertainment

Even if she didn't recognize him in person, once he said he was on NCIS she would have known who he was IMO. How could you watch NCIS and own the DVD of DA and not know they were the same person?

Obviously she didn't deserve to be sharing the same air-space as our boy!

She sounds like an awe struck fan and what woman wouldn't become awe struck when MW starts talking to them? ;D

Here's some fun facts we learned from Michael at the "Her Minor Thing" screening at the Sonoma Film Festival:
Bad news, Michael is in LOVE. Good news, it's with his new BMW, he was driving a Jeep Wrangler and feels maybe he's moved up in the car world.
Trivia? Who know the answer? You see Michael being slapped on the back of the head at least once in the NCIS episodes. How many Takes do they do to get that one slap?
