No Stranger Than Love (2015)

hyped garbage

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

This film tells the story of a beautiful woman in a small town, who is the centre of attention of all men because of her beauty. One day, the man she has a rendezvous with falls into a hole that mysteriously appears in her living room. She struggles to rescue her date, ad eventually the whole town knows about this mysterious hole.The plot is a simple one, but "No Stranger Than Love" is actually quite entertaining. Alison Brie plays the beautiful woman who tries to ward off the many potential suitors, and she is so natural and charming while she does that. It is quite funny to see how numerous men try to win her heart, and it is even funnier that the hole just appears in her living room. Hilarious things happen in the film, but there is a touching message at the end. It is a sweet but different romantic comedy. I enjoyed watching it.

Characters are filled out making No Stranger Thank Love a surprisingly useful movie. When faced with ethical decisions on love and romance poor choices can lead people in real life to fall into a 'hole' which all of us are familiar with. As often casualties of love do need a lifeline to crawl out of their hole. During this process Colin Hanks is Suspended in a black inter-dimensional hole one of the main characters said, without any distractions I have a new sense of clarity. You may think to yourself this is a corny story line but don't dismiss it too quickly. When Colin's character, Coach Clint Coburn is faced with multiple consequences that would impact his world he is forced to admit his love for his wife. What are your thoughts on sensory deprivation leading to a new sense of clarity?

This is a mixed bag. I can't recommend a pay-per-view, but it is better than average network RomCom variety and there are some redeeming social values. I was expecting something funny and original. There was some humor and originality, but it didn't progress. There was this made-for-TV religious movie feeling throughout most of the film. The creepy small-town seemed to be the plight of the main character, but you quickly see that shallow waters run very deep in the major players of the film. If there were a few script modifications, this could have been a good film, the actors could have pulled it off. There were a few Recognizable actors and the camera work was good.

I was kinda hyped to this one. It felt like the right when I first heard of it. The cast, the posters, the trailer, even the mysterious plot about a hole that just appears in the middle of the living room of some girl and swallows her boyfriend. I was sold, I wasn't expecting for nothing like a runner-up to the award season, but I was sold to a little indie funny and cute rom-com.Well, high expectations has its downsides... The shitty thing, I can't be apologetic towards this movie... I tried hard to like it, but the movie wasn't able to hit the right nerve in no moment, and dude, I watch movies with an open heart...The movie doesn't actually delivers any of the expected cuteness, comedy or quirkiness of the story that actually sounds lovely, funny and pretty intriguing. The cast, mostly Brie and Chatwin, as protagonist, aren't able to work all they can, and proved in previous works, 'cause the characters are pretty much flat, even more when the expositional dialogue tries to state the opposite. The supporting characters, unfortunately, are as much as shallow.The movie does not tackle none of the big points it brings. It feels pretty much like the writer Steve Adams just had a good idea to a movie, but wasn't able to put it in the right way in the script, and the director Nick Wernham, in his feature directorial debut, just stuck with it 'cause it was what he had.The movie failed to be one fine rom-com, and turns out just as a silly cautionary tale, that waste the chance to make great statements, about art, love, sex, fidelity, and people.
