Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.
The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.
It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
I sat through this for the 80 minutes and have no idea why. Within the first 10 minutes or so I knew it was not going to be a movie I liked much, but I stuck it out in hope that it might improve, it didn't.The dialogue was very childish and not well executed. The acting from all involved was very amateurish and at times I cringed with embarrassment for the participants. The nude scene was even embarrassing to watch, but at least Erin R. Ryan is OK to look at. Some might find this movie watchable just for this scene, but it is over in less than 30 seconds.It is not often that I don't find at least a few redeeming features for a movie, but this one has none that I could see. Do yourself a favour and avoid this boring waste of time.
I'm a huge fan of the writer/director Henrique Couto so I was naturally excited to hear about him making his first rom-com. He always has a way with including comedy, even in horror movies, so the romance side was new to him. I can safely say that Couto knocked it out of the park with this! As usual the writing was fantastic. Couto is great at making the dialogue sound natural, as if it what is being spoken is not scripted because it flows so easily. Obviously that works best when he has great talent! The acting was spot on, with even minor actors getting large laughs from the audience. Erin R. Ryan and Titus Wolverton had great chemistry and easily worked well with each other. They especially easily clicked with the supporting cast, such as when Titus' character Charlie hired Bradley Diehl's character (who delivered one of the best lines in the film via a misreading).
