Amazon.com:
A slight but charming romantic comedy, The Seat Filler stars Duane Martin (Scream 2, Above the Rim) as Derrick, a young man struggling to make ends meet as he studies for the bar exam. To make some extra cash, Derrick takes a job as a 'seat filler'--a person who hops into an unoccupied chair at a televised awards show to make attendance look perpetually full. At one event, Derrick happens to be seated next to recording star Jhnelle (Kelly Rowland of Destiny's Child), and breaks one of the cardinal rules of seat-filling: he starts a conversation. Things click, and soon Derrick's small fibs become major lies as he tries to sustain the mutual romantic attraction. From there the movie travels in mostly expected directions, but it's quite funny, especially spiked with the manic antics of Derrick's best friend, E.J. (DeRay Davis). The Seat Filler is the initial entry in a new way of distributing films called the Momentum Experience. Instead of traditional movie-distribution deals, the Momentum Experience presents African American-themed movies in non-traditional venues, preceded by live music and comedy. The Seat Filler isn't a movie that will change the world, but the Momentum Experience may in a small way change an industry. --David Horiuchi

I couldnt even watch this movie all the way through. I am gonna try to watch it again, but the start of it is what is supposed to grab your attention. Nothing kept me into this movie.
Rating: - "If she gets the lobster, I ain't gettin' $*&%!"
A seat filler has it pretty cushy, his or her sole task merely to keep warm the seats of celebrities and big wigs at award functions. This is so that there aren't embarassing empty spots when the cameras pan by. There are a few rules to the gig: no cell phones allowed, you can only clap 5 times, your heinie can't be too warm. And the cardinal rule: you mustn't ever, ever fraternize with the stars. Sounds like easy money. But not, as it turns out, for Derrick Harver.

Rating:  - Don't read ANY of the other reviews!!! Just read this one!!! Trust me!!!
Listen up reader.
If you're thinking about buying the Seat Filler because you believe you may enjoy it because it stars Duane Martin or Kelly Rowlands, don't read any of the other reviews, because they have been written by people who work for this movie's production company. They have a biased reason for wanting you to purchase this movie.
This is one of the worst movies made in the history of movies. They spent zero money in the making of this movie. Every aspect of this film ... Read More
Rating:  - Suprisingly Sweet!
I do love Kelly Rowland...I think she's gorgeous and talented. Dwayne Martin has always been a talented actor...although I wouldn't have picked him for this role. The movie started out a bit slow...I wasn't sure I would like it...but it was surprisingly good! Not oscar worthy...lol...but a good romantic comedy. Kelly Rowland's acting is not bad at all. It's certainly better than Beyonce's (ouch...she was gorgeous in Dream Girls, but her acting seriously SUCKED! after what...five movies you'd think ... Read More
Rating:  - SOME SINGERS CAN REALLY ACT....
Kelly Rowlands does a wonderful job portraying her character Jhnelle in this, endearing film. Duane Martin has you rooting for Derrick, because it's not hard to relate to his situation. Sometimes, it's easier to be someone else than it is to just being yourself! The chemistry between the two is sweet.
Look forward to seeing more from Ms. Rowlands in the near future, both musically and theatrically.
I highly recommend this one.
