Easy (2003)

The Worst Film Ever

Simply Perfect

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

This is not a movie for everyone, especially with the prominent LDS community here in Utah, but it can appeal to everyone who has dealt with the confusing and entangling situations of love. I was definitely struck by the authenticity of the love scenes and their awkwardness, which is so often accompanied with a new lover. Marguerite Moreau delivers a stand-out performance - I would love to see her in more films... she offers a unique innocence, like she's almost broken, but holding on to hope. She fits the character of Jamie Harris perfectly. The movie was longer than I expected, but without being long-winded. It moved with a mellow pace while adding unexpected, humorous and dramatic twists to the plot.Worth a Look

I saw this movie at sundance and was really quite charmed by it considering that it is a "romantic comedy" of sorts which is not my genre of choice. The actors were all serviceable if not excellent in their comic, yet quite human, roles. margaritte (sp) is a spellbinding beauty who has always captivated in her film work... she had lost her voice at the screening, but even squeaking out a few words afterwards, she had me so in love with her. Beyond this, there were some pacing issues for me and the occasional clunky scene, but all in all, this was a smart and well-rounded sort of character piece. I don't agree with the reviewer who says it's not for "eastcoasters" since I live in NYC and felt that this film worked on many levels that resonated with me, in spite of the geographical differences. This is a fine piece of film-making that can work on its own terms and still fall into the framework of a good romantic comedy, so I hope that some genius out there picks it up for a direct to video release and it can deliver some punch on the home market. Margarritte needs to be a star and this movie proves she can deliver the good and the director holds the piece together with confidence and grace. Oh, and it was shot on DV and it looks like film. pretty cool.

An unoriginal wanna-be art house flop. I saw it at Sundance and I'm sorry I wasted my vouchers on it. I don't know why, but the people at Sundance last year were really pushing it on the people. The makers ever kept emailing us asking for our comments and suggestions. I told them just what I'm writing here. Don't waste your time or money. The characters were unoriginal. The story was full of cliches and uninteresting plot development. I walked out with only like 15 minutes to go because it just got worse and worse. If I can say one nice thing about it, there was....well...Sorry, I can't say anything that nice about it. If you want to see something like this that is more interesting, might I recommend "Party Girl" or "Monster". They're a lot more fun, and you'll enjoy them a hell of a lot more.

Much better than previous review would suggest. Charming and quirky rather than insubstantial. Characters not terribly deep but there is enough good dialogue and plot-twists to keep you entertained. Not meant as a deep treatise on relationships but grows on you as it progresses with aspects of the relationships amusingly reminiscent of reality.
