Rating: 4.1 out of 5
Released in 2009, this is a very fun and entertaining music video. Aside from Michael Buble’s impeccable singing abilities, he also possesses a talent for acting (or at least semi-acting) in music videos. His performance was amazing and I was very impressed with the storyline of this film.
This is one of the most complex films I have reviewed so far. It began with Michael Buble singing while walking through the frozen foods section of a grocery store and evolved into a full-fledged dancing extravaganza starring all the employees and shoppers. One of my favorite scenes is when Michael first sets eyes on his “dream girl” in the frozen foods isle. As soon as they lock eyes, the lights begin to flicker in the store and it is a semi-magical moment. Another scene I really appreciated was halfway through the video when all the workers and shoppers began to dance. However, the final dancing scene was probably my favorite. When the marching band began to play and the shoppers rushed out into the street, the feeling of excitement was quite intoxicating. I felt like I truly was in this video and wondered, “Where can I find this awesome grocery store?”
In conclusion, the key to the success of this video was definitely the choreography and storyline. In the end, when you find out that Michael was singing to a random cashier while waiting in the checkout line, you can almost sense the awkwardness of the situation. And, when he walks past his “dream girl” while leaving the store, it pretty much sums up nearly every person’s feelings about relationships. There are several moments in your life when you picture a relationship working out much differently than it actually did. Despite his grandiose visions of romanticized revelry, he must now face the hard reality that he “just hasn’t met her yet.”
