Write When You Get Work
When love sneaks into Ruth Duffy's life, everything may change. That story began with that girl who was able to overcome her material problems and lose her teenage after she was getting an assistant salary at an expensive school for girls in Manhattan. Jonny Collins, who works in local jobs near the Throgs Neck Bridge in Bronx, may turn things around in Roth. When they cross their paths after years of separation, they both begin a new romance where John seeks love and profit at the same time.

It's a hodgepodge; a love story, a heist movie, social satire. Yet none of them work. The love story is creepy at times. The heist isn't that exciting and has very low stakes. And the social satire has no bite.

The beginning of Write When You Get Work, while inviting, levies the movie with a novel approach, but doesn't keep it together.

Wittrock, Keller and Mortimer make this quirky film interesting. They bring a freshness to their roles and the screenplay isn't half bad either.

With zero romance and nonsensical thrills, the only legitimate theft here is of the viewer's time.

Be prepared for some loco twists and turns and to admit you were too quick to judge. It's a hard edged story that has us on our toes till the end.

Its resolution may have been playful and funny when used 40 years ago in a certain Jackie Chan film, but here it's just twee.
