Joe's So Mean to Josephine Audience Reviews

KnotMissPriceless Why so much hype?
JinRoz For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!
Brainsbell The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.
Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
neomannix I actually knew Peter Wellington while he was working on the script, and proof read it for him and gave him as much feedback as I could on the Joe character, who I the narcissus that I am, believe is loosely based on me.I was quite the macho ass-hole back then and somewhat of a bad boy.My girlfriend at the time was somewhat like Josephine. But once again I'm flattering myself. I have a very bad temper that I'm still trying to get a grip on and Peter had seen me lose it one night and was more than amazed. I really helped him out a lot in regards to how Joe, who is less than a happy camper would lose his temper.Peter is an extremely intelligent, insightful, funny, and highly creative individual with great talent and I am extremely proud to have had the pleasure to get to know him as well as I did that wonderfully strange summer in downtown Montreal.I deeply and sincerely wish him all the best in all of his future endeavors whatever they may be.
oldirtysk8er Just saw this film on the sundance channel and I instantly fell in love with it. "Joe's So Mean To Josephine" is sick, painful, and great fun to watch. It's like a twisted episode of Melrose Place, only the characters are much more pathetic in their attempts to find love. Try to watch this on Sundance Channel, you wont be disapointed, and if you're anything like me you'll be screaming, "Damn you Joe!" at the television screen.
aaron-71 I can't think of a better written story about the problems, jealousies, insecurities that arise between couples in difficult, conflicting relationships that are based less on love than need. The dynamics between Joe and Josephine change halfway through and the pathetic behavior of Josephine suddenly changes as her career takes off the Joe's career criminal life takes a nose dive as he realizes that his life is going nowhere. The resolution is both maddening, dramatic and touching. The two lead performers are great.
pocketang This film made me very sad. Sarah Polley made some pretty dangerous choices in this film. Since she's a great actress, she made it seem like it could happen to anyone. The viewer can almost see into the mind of an emotionally abused woman.It may not have been the best film I've ever seen, but I really enjoyed the human element. It will make me think twice before I start to fall for the wrong guy...
